It often feels like there's not enough hours in the day - between managing your job and/or schoolwork, taking care of your health, and pursuing your hobbies and goals, relationships can add another layer of difficulty for managing your time. Today we discuss how relationships (romantic, platonic, and familial) play into the delicate game of time management, explore whether gender & ubringing have an impact on our ideas of "sacrifice", and dive into the complicated nuances of conflicting advice on social media.Our guests today are Alyssa & Alexis of Lotus Magazine, an e-magazine that serves as a platform for self-identifying Asian American womxn, especially focusing on cultivating a sense of community by elevating voices and stories that are often overlooked.

In what seems like a blink of an eye, both of us are (or are about to turn) 25 years old! Although technically we can lump together the past five years of our lives as our "early to mid twenties", personally we feel that each year of our twenties has been a vastly different, wonderfully unique chapter of our lives.In this episode, we describe the mindset, emotions, and big events we had in each year of our twenties, and discuss how our experience as being twenty-somethings lines up to our childhood expectations.Follow us on IG @eatyourcrustpodSupport the showFollow us on social media @eatyourcrustpod

We all were kids once…but that doesn’t mean we all WANT kids! Or does it?? Today we discuss every aspect of kids we can think of - starting from our fears about having our own kids, silly stories from our childhood, or dissecting the concept of our inner child, we got KIDS on the mind!

In an increasingly globalized world (aka, rise of the Third Culture Kids!!), cultural awareness is becoming an incredibly important skill that can help you navigate social situations with people from all different walks of life. Anyone who's been asked, "No, where are you REALLY from?" can attest to how lack of cultural awareness can lead to uncomfortable situations. Today, we discuss various ways we've experienced uncomfortable interactions as TCKs and unpack the power of storytelling on self-identity and cultural sensitivity.Follow Weirong! @joinrawcultureVisit Raw Culture's website! https://joinrawculture.com/Follow us on IG! @eatyourcrustpodSupport the showFollow us on social media @eatyourcrustpod
