Puzzled

As you may know, we are clueless about dating. It's good thing we have Christine Chang, celebrity + lifestyle photographer and best-selling author, to share some wisdom! From how to find our true love to learning not to be too independent, we talk about it all to realize dating isn't that complex. We may be young, but that doesn't mean boys are still taking up our lives. Time to learn to just do what makes you happy, if that involves another person, go for it and don't let outside pressures affect YOUR relationship. You can find more of Christine @cchangandco on Instagram or her website (http://christinechang.com)! Be sure to check out her podcast "Show up With Christine Chang" (https://www.buzzsprout.com/1380259) for more dating advice. As well as her book, "SHOW UP: Finding Love for Independent Women", available on Amazon (https://amzn.to/37qxOit). You can always find us @thepuzzledsociety (IG) and come hang out with us :)

Happy Thanksgiving! Lyly and I are keeping you company while you're cooking, getting ready, or just need background noise. If you're hiding in your room from family and need some friends to hang out, we got your back! Especially in this pandemic, where things might be different, and we can't have a big party, so you need us for extra noise that you can talk over, same vibes. Shop small this holiday season, and support @jewelyly, for all your customizable/personalized jewelry! You can find more of us @thepuzzledsociety, come and hang out!

We don't always have guys join in, but when we do, we find them off of Bumble. Nick and I play "We're Not Really Strangers", like an icebreaker game in school but less boring. This isn't the usual convo you have with people you first meet, but what else did you expect from this podcast. You can find more of Nick @paperbagsplease on all social media platforms. Come hang out with us @thepuzzledsociety on Instagram, we always got something happening :)

Bear with us & our audio quality, sometimes technology wants to do their own thing. I've been following Emily on Twitter for awhile, and it's still absolutely insane to me how the Internet brings people together. We share our thoughts on the election, creating a TV show, and how she got invited to Taylor Swift's house. Importantly, we talk about being Asian-American, dealing with the pressures to fit in, stereotypes, and the desire to be celebrated for who we are. The article she wrote that we talked about, "Growing Up as a First Generation Asian American", do yourself a favor and read it! (https://bit.ly/3lmWPRC) You can find more of Emily on Twitter (@emilykthen) and Instagram (@emily.then). For all the fun on IG, follow us @thepuzzledsociety, there's always something going on, so check us out and it's an easy way for you to stay updated :)

Nobody likes failure, but it shouldn't scare us from living the lives that we dream of. I've been a perfectionist since I was born, and it's time Monja Meyer, a confidence coach, helps me out! She's all about finding confidence and basically the biggest cheerleader for you to step out of your comfort zone :) It's about time we all learn how to be more empowered in ourselves because our daydreams shouldn't stay just in our heads, we all deserve to live a good life! Be sure to check out Monja on Instagram, @monja_meyer and listen to her podcast "Women Making Money" for all of us female entrepreneurs. You can also visit her coaching business, and reach self confidence in finding your own purpose!

Happy Halloween! Even if we don't 'celebrate', we still want to give the right vibe for all of you. We talk about our Halloween experiences but nothing is scarier than dealing with actual life so we talk about our fears! From slipping in the shower, afraid of the dark, or dying alone, we're just scared of living at this point. Be proud of us, we stayed pretty much on topic today :) Lastly, if you're going out, be safe! Be sure to check out Lyly's jewelry on Instagram (@jewelyly) and get your custom resin pieces. The holidays are coming up, so it's a great time to support a small business! You can always find us @thepuzzledsociety (IG) & come hang out!

Since it's October, which if you're like me, you've been deep into unsolved mysteries, crime movies & murder documentaries. Good thing we have Dr. Ashley Wellman to clear the air on what's real vs. what's just for TV. Ashley is a criminologist & children's book author for "My Friend Fresno", which are such opposite career paths but her inspiring story behind it is something we all need to hear. We talk about cold cases, grief, and answering all the questions you may have while watching all of those crime shows! You can find more of Dr.Ashley Wellman on Twitter/Instagram @DrAshleyWellman or on her website (https://www.ashleywellman.com/index.html).

I love a good international call and today it takes us to Thailand! Bea shares her experiences living in 3 different countries (Thailand, China, & Philippines) which my emotional personality can't even imagine. We talk about making friends, sustainability, and more!

Come & hangout with us @thepuzzledsociety (IG), come connect with more amazing people!

Excuse our overuse of "like" and "and then" in this episode but how else do you expect us to tell a story. We define what a crush is, our boy experiences, and as usual, going off topic. It's what we do best. Importantly, we give our relationship advice that we're still learning to take ourselves. Relationships are difficult so can you really blame us? Check out Lyly's jewelry on Instagram @jewelyly and buy some custom resin pieces. Find us @thepuzzledsociety and especially, check out our IGTV to get better advice from our Puzzled family :)

She had us hooked when we first came across her dreamy Instagram. Rikki Valentina is an actress and an indie pop artist, which "Dollar $igns" is one of the catchiest songs ever that's all about the materialistic side of social media.

(Trigger Warning // TW : Body Dysmorphia & Anorexia) I love our community that we've built on Instagram & to see everyone talk about things they're passionate about!! The best part is connecting with such inspiring people, just like Sarah Guarino. She gives us a glimpse into living with invisible chronic illnesses, Type 1 Diabetes & Epilepsy; but importantly, finding the positives within these illnesses that affects so many people daily. Being a blogger, she also shares her opinions on the fashion industry & why it's important to be transparent online.

WE'RE BACK! Your fave duo is back. We're sure no one missed us. You already know we're all about being transparent & honest, so we just list everyone we dislike currently.

I've always wanted to run away on a self-discovery journey. Daniel Bruce Levin walked away from the opportunity to run a billion dollar business to find happiness and inner peace; then he left one day before becoming ordained as a Rabbi in Jerusalem to become a monk.

On today's episode, we reunited the squad after 5 years...and the good vibes are all still there! Lyly, Pauline, Lisbeth, and I reminisce on old times where things were definitely easier. As a freshman in high school thinking about yourself in your early 20s, you'd expect you'd have everything figured out; you gotta love being naive and clueless.
