The rising costs in Sydney are absolutely wild. Rent has gone through the roof – we're all feeling the pinch. While the Aussie chill lingers, we can't help but scroll through our social media feeds and get bombarded with 'hot girl summer' scenes from Europe. Doesn't it feel like everyone is in Europe?

Discovering food from different cultures and experiencing the variety of flavours and tastes is an important way to learn and appreciate other cultures apart from our own. Food in itself is a language of its own, communicating how things may have come to be. It might be the weather of a certain location, the availability of produce, a matter of survival through times of war, special delicacies and/or much more. While recipes have been passed down over many generations, and the etiquette of meal times as a family or at a social gathering have transpired, this was a topic that interested Rox and Jules for this episode. Listen in as they share some of what they understand about restaurant etiquette at Chinese and Korean restaurants, tips on ordering, and some things that just are the way they are.

With our fair share of work experience seeing the good and bad in different jobs, it's time to spill the tea. And as thirty-something year olds who have both made career changes, we reflect on the signs that prompted the next move. What are those moments where we've realised, maybe it's time to move on? Should I stay for longer in this role and see how it goes, or should I look elsewhere? It's not easy to make the call. And it is definitely scary to face change. As well as to those of you who might be thinking about resigning. However, we do want to point out that some of us are lucky and have worked hard to be in a position that allows us to thrive, working with a team that we love and enjoying the work that we do. And sometimes, it takes time to figure out what works for you. We're grateful for all the opportunities we've had so far, while also excited to share what we've learned.

Proposals, marriage, children. Typical topics of two 30-something-year-olds – at least for us..! Rox shares her proposal story for the first time with Jules. We reflect on whether proposals or marriage was something we wanted all along or something that was necessarily on our horizons. Although Rox and Jules have different views on marriage, one thing they know for sure is this: that it's okay to want different things — that it's okay to want what you want — whether it's traditional, not traditional or somewhere in between. People want or don't want things for different reasons, and whatever you're feeling, this is a little reminder that it's okay. Get ready for a long and chatty one. Warning: it gets a little deep!

We walk down memory lane and revisit some memories of our youth – specifically our time living our abroad in a completely different country.
