Maya’s Time Capsule

This audio recording captures Eugene, Maya, and Kris recapping day 4 and day 5 of the Seattle to Portland bike adventure (SEAPOR). We finished with our bodies and bikes unscathed! We biked from Northwoods to Home Valley campsite then from Home Valley to our final destination: Portland. We recapped our last couple days of the bike adventure at a friends apartment in Pearl District of Portland. Happy listening!

This audio recording captures Eugene, Maya, Kris, and Eric's second and third day of the Seattle to Portland bike adventure (SEAPOR). We biked from Camp Lakeview to a dispersed campsite in Randel infested with snakes and mosquitos on Tuesday July 26. Then we biked to Northwoods to camp. We recapped our day over a picnic table at our campsite eating rice, hot dogs, onions, jalapeños, and beans for dinner. Enjoy our banter!

This audio recording captures Eugene, Maya, Kris, and Eric's first day of the Seattle to Portland bike adventure. We biked from North Bend to Camp Lakeview on Monday July 25 and recapped our day over a dinner spread of wings, salad, sandwiches, and pizza. Hope enjoy our banter as much as we did!

In this episode, Eugene and I reflect on our bike trip adventure from Chicago to New Buffalo over Memorial Day weekend. No edits, sorry. It is a record and go! Hope you enjoy and learn something from it :)

In this episode my brother and I talk about our experience of getting LASIK surgery. We talk about what prompted us to consider it, the consultation process, the actual day of the surgery, recovery, and follow up. If you are thinking about getting LASIK yourself, or maybe you are about to get the surgery soon, this episode may help you know what to expect. ENJOY

In this episode, I question my brother (Yusuf) on the topic of circumcision of male babies and why we should start thinking about it differently in the US. Male circumcision is a common procedure in the United State and many Americans don't realize how rare it is to circumcise babies everywhere else in the world. There are several reasons behind circumcising male babies, but should parents be making this decision for their baby at birth? Should we be leaving it up to the child on weather or not they get circumcised? 

This episode is inspired by Tara Brach from her book Radical Compassion. The RAIN method is a mindfulness and compassion tool to help untangle difficult emotions when we get caught up in things like anger/anxiety/failure. Enjoy!

There can be so many good reasons to start a podcast, but in this episode I talk about my main reasons to why I decided to pull the trigger. Enjoy!
