I've definitely been guilty of being the "clingy" girlfriend. Hana (@hanaylee) and I talk about how we broke out of that pattern and how we learned to value independence in relationships. If you have any questions you want me to discuss with my guests, send them my way on Instagram (@estherys)

Kristen Lam (@kristengracelam) and I met in LA two years ago, and we got the chance to reconnect here in New York. We went IN on all the fun dating questions - is there such thing as "the one"? Does playing hard to get work? How important is sex in a relationship? As always, if you have any questions you want us to discuss, send them my way on Instagram (@estherys)

I finally got the chance to meet the voice behind one of my favorite songs, Haerin Jang (seriously, if you haven't listened to Sugar yet, go stream it right now : http://spoti.fi/3uCXoMf). She had such a relatable and inviting yet hilariously sarcastic demeanor during our conversation about work-life balance, toxic friendships, loneliness, dating, and more!

With Inauguration Day last week, I thought it was an appropriate time to share my story as a DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) recipient.
