We’ve been forced to take on a lot of new customs and habits in 2020 –– zoom calls, outdoor hangouts, masks, aggressive hand-washing, widespread uncertainty. In today’s episode, Kulap and SuChin decide what they want to keep from 2020 and what they want to leave behind. And it gets pretty deep. (Did our producers cry? Yes.) On a personal note, SuChin is ready to start sending herself different messages about herself, and Kulap is preparing to face a difficult decision about family planning.
