This week, we explore the topic of vulnerability as experienced in social media, Asian households, the workplace, our different peer groups, and other settings with our guest, Lauren Lee, from the It’s All Good Podcast. What started out as an interview, quickly turned into an impromptu group therapy session that got us thinking about how vulnerability - or sometimes the absence thereof - has affected all of our relationships up to this point. Yes, Lauren is THAT GOOD. The raw footage was a B to cut and edit (it was 1.5 hours long), but we love the learnings gained from every minute of it. Join us in this vvv insightful, albeit long episode as we reflect on how we can better connect to others while doing right by our ~emotions~
