World Mental Health Day 2023 Special: Being a firstborn (and Asian) is no joke! You're the unpaid intern, the guinea pig of the family, the role model to younger siblings, the babysitter, and maybe the "retirement plan" for the parents. It is not a "job" you could just quit. And you carry the weight of high expectations, responsibilities, and the perception that "you've got it all figured out" for your entire life. Fellow firstborns, we are dedicating this episode to you: What it's like being the eldest child, your feelings, and how you can set boundaries and take care of yourself in this heart-to-heart chat between two very tired firstborns who are finding ways to break the "curse" of being the eldest in the family. Our guest Mara Muñoz from Manila - a model firstborn - talks about fighting her sister with real knives.

Happy World Mental Health Day (Oct 10)! We hope you are making taking care of yourself a non-negotiable priority today - which frankly should be an everyday priority. Give yourself some extra TLC, take the time to breathe, put away digital devices and delay replying to messages if no one's life is at risk just because you're not replying immediately. Breathe. And take all the time you need. For this very day, we are talking about burnout again. Because we STILL don't talk about burnout enough. This episode, Hong Kong-based entrepreneur Mandy Pao joins Isabel to chat about their personal experiences coping with burnout, and how Mandy bounced back stronger and started helping fellow entrepreneurs to overcome burnout.

Season 4 is here! Oral traditions are an important part of the cultural identity of many Southeast Asian countries, but their ephemeral state leaves them vulnerable for future generations. Malaysian artist-researcher duo Ambi Sun and Sha Roose join us to talk about the oracle deck they are creating “Tales & Oracles of Eleven - Mythology from Southeast Asia”. The oracle deck features 44 legends from 11 Southeast Asian countries including Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, East Timor (Timor Leste), and Vietnam. By turning the folktales we grew up hearing from our parents, grandparents, and cultural elders, the duo hopes to ensure these tales are not lost or forgotten over time. Sun tells us about the biases she has faced as an Asian female artist, while Sha talks about her experience living with Spinal Muscular Atrophy.
