Do we know too much for our own good?
We go into the rise of therapy as content and the popularisation of therapy speak. Emotional load, gaslighting and attention styles? How does this affect our relationships? And how we feel very qualified to comment on others?
Plus, we play green flag or delulu (a word that will never appear again on this podcast)...
Our final episode for Season 1. We hope you enjoy it!

Weāre unpacking the rise of the subscription economy - from your morning coffee to printer ink, it feels like everything now comes with a monthly fee. What are the positives and what are the consequences? We explore how companies love subscriptions for the steady income, while consumers have more access to content but feel like they don't need to care as much for things as they used to.

Do we own our purchasesā¦ or do they own us?
In this episode, we dive headfirst into the tangled world of consumerism. From the dopamine rush of one-click purchases to the hedonic treadmill, we explore how everyday decisions are increasingly shaped by clever marketing, social pressure, and the subtle shift from needs to wants. We reflect on the psychological, financial, and environmental toll of constant consumption, and share practical tips that have helped us pause, rethink, and push back.

Weāre taking a break this week! BUT how many words does Dhruv have in his dictionary?
We both went to selective schools. What do we like about them? What do we hate? And do their educative benefits outweigh their social segregation?
The usual chatter, big words and analogies. Plus, we play another game - can you outnerd either of us?

Back to a more serious episode (for now).
We go through what it means to be a First Generation Australian and university student, and its associated challenges and benefits. From education, to socialising, to career. What are the reasons we have the attitudes towards life that we do? And what steps can First Generation people take to get comfortable? We have some thoughts.Don't worry, we still have plenty of fun - we yap on burgers, editing, schooling, pencils and (gasp) even some politics. What have we done...

Time for Episode 3!
Weāre taking a step back from a serious topic. Weāre stepping outside our comfort zone to talk about stepping out of our comfort zone. Weāre discussing getting off the sidelines, doing more, and staying mentally tough especially when life throws curveballs.
We also briefly dip our toes into the water of mental resiliency. We think we'll be going for a swim soon.
If you've felt stuck, scared to try, or totally wiped out, this might be for you.

Episode #1 ā How We Met & No Fish in the Sea?
In our very first episode, we take you back to where it all began- how we met, the highs and lows of getting to know each other, and the moments that made us realise this was something special. We chat about our own story, from the first message to our first impressions (and a few awkward moments in between).
Then, we attempt to unpack the world of online datingādespite having no real experience with it ourselves. From what weāve heard from friends, colleagues, and the internet, it sounds like an absolute circus of red flags, ghosting, and "breadcrumbing". While we may not be experts, weāll be sharing our take on the wild world of dating apps and why it seems to be getting more complicated.
Beyond dating, this podcast is all about navigating life in our 20sābalancing work, relationships, and the inevitable challenges that come with it.
