Why We Read
Today we discuss one of our favorite hobbies…reading! Not only has this manifested in a book club for our friend group, our love for reading makes it fun to reflect on our past reading choices (& what secret desires we wanted to fulfill with them), the different approaches to reading we’ve experienced (plot vs. prose?), and the thoughts we have about the impact of representation in some of our favorite books from childhood.Support the showFollow us on social media @eatyourcrustpod

All Good Things Come To An End
Whether it’s the school year coming to an end, or your favorite TV show airing its last episode, all good things come to an end. Today we discuss how we deal with the finality and temporary nature of various aspects of life, from silly things like overcoming the feeling of emptiness after finishing our favorite book/show, all the way to heavier feelings of ending a relationship or losing a loved one. We also tackle how we viewed and understood death at a young age, and how we’ve come to manage our feelings of grief and fear when faced with the concept/impact of mortality. Inspired by Season 1 of Asian Not Asian Podcast coming to an end!Support the showFollow us on social media @eatyourcrustpod

#GIRLTALK: Periods & Sexual Health
We have a lot of complicated feelings about our period. We’re no longer the shy teenagers at school who whispered about our periods, but we’re not necessarily the biggest fans of the monthly ritual either, especially not when it comes with cramps, acne, and mood swings. However, we DO love relating with other women and all people with periods about our shared experiences for all things “taboo”, including gynocologist exams and STD tests! Tune in to hear us connect with Melinda and Uma from @lets.sync.health about periods & sexual health.Let's Sync is a platform & community to learn and chat on all things gender and health in an open, inclusive, and encouraging way. They believe that together, we can all become more informed and confident on these topics.
