    In this special episode, we are joined by John’s best friend from exchange, Sian! Her silky Wellingtonian accent and smooth insights provide a refreshing change from the usual John & Lois get up. Inspired by Weylie & Sophia Chang’s Youtube video on ‘Questions I’ve Never Asked My Best Friend’, we ask each other 2 questions: one that is deep and meaningful (omg DnM time!!!!) and another that is just bloody fun hey.

    We know that the official #RUOKDay has passed but we firmly believe that it’s never too late to ask someone if they’re okay. In this episode, we discuss the characteristics of someone who makes us feel okay to open up, how we should respond when somebody does open up to us, the “it-could-be-worse” mentality and why men tend to find it harder to talk about their problems.

    Do you know how you come across to other people? How do you feel when someone interprets you in a way that is different to how you personally perceive yourself? When someone challenges our own perceptions of our identity, it can feel like the very essence of our personality has been stripped away #IDENTITYTHEFT. In this episode, we talk about our personal experiences on this matter, whether perceptions are more important than intentions or vice versa, and how external forces can influence our identity — or more so — our decision to remove our body fluff or wear concealer or not.

Stay tuned to find out our thoughts and see how your moral compass would help you to navigate your way through this situation.

    In this special episode, John and Lois pop their podcast publishing cherry and explain why Driveway Conversation exists and how these #lowkeytherapysessions can actually have a positive impact on your mental health. If you’ve ever been plagued by questions like why you’re feeling a certain way about things, what your purpose is on this earth or why people act the way that they do, then you’ve come to the right place. Driveway Conversations is all about embracing those philosophical questions about life and feeling comfortable to open up and be vulnerable with your thoughts and emotions without the fear of judgement. We also do not judge you for saying commonly used words such as “like”, “basically” and “actually”. Like, for realsies, because you’ll find that we totally do that too. We also realised that we laugh louder than our actual speaking voice. We’re very sorry in advance for the pain this might bring you.
