Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHCassandra comes back from a hike and turns on the news, catching an interview with Dr. Susie, who helps her realize that she always picks the wrong men to date. She heads to work at the advertising agency. Her assistant Dana is getting married, but Cassandra's boyfriend, Peter, refuses to go to the wedding with her because he thinks weddings are boring.At the wedding, Cassandra is seated at a table full of children—except for one other adult, a man named Robert. They really hit it off, but she leaves before they can exchange any contact information.Later, she's hanging out with her mom and sister, who help her see that Peter isn't right for her. It becomes painfully obvious when, on a date to the batting cages, she just watches him hit balls the entire time—until she finally leaves.One day, while walking down the street, she sees Dr. Susie doing a book signing. Her sister insists they go in, and Cassandra is once again taken with Dr. Susie's advice.The next day, while walking her dog, Cassandra bumps into Robert—who is also walking his dog. Sparks fly, and he asks her out on a date!They go play putt-putt and then transition to pool. They have the best time, and she kisses him on the cheek.The problem? There are too many sparks—something Dr. Susie warns against. According to her, Cassandra should choose someone boring and dependable.Luckily, she soon meets a boring guy named George and decides to give it a shot.So, she starts spending time with both men. With Robert, it's all fun and excitement—he even brings her and her mom to an REO Speedwagon concert. With George, it's formal dinners and predictability.While discussing her dilemma with her mom and sister, opinions are split: Mom is Team Robert, but her sister believes Robert contradicts everything Dr. Susie preaches.Eventually, Cassandra makes her choice and brings George to meet the family. It's serious.But then she bumps into Robert at the mechanic. While waiting for their cars, they go bowling—and end up kissing. Cassandra panics and runs off.Trying to make things work with George, she kisses him too—but realizes there's no real spark and breaks up with him.She throws away Dr. Susie's book and rushes to find Robert at the town's Chinese New Year celebration. They kiss and enjoy the fireworks together.

“In 2025, consumer demand in the outbound travel market in China will continue to fragment, particularly in terms of interests. This shift is one of the most significant changes brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.” Two years after China reopened for travel, the outbound tourism market continues to diversify and fragment. The landscape looks very different than it did in 2019 - and the 2025 Chinese New Year confirmed this. To discuss the 8 Top Chinese Tourism Trends to Watch in 2025, Gary welcomes back Sienna Parulis-Cook, Director of Marketing & Communications of Beijing-based Dragon Trail international, to the show. We discuss the key takeaways from the CNY travel period - where did Chinese tourists fly to, how long did they stay and how much did they spend? We dissect the hotspot destinations, including Malaysia, Vietnam and Japan, old favourites like Singapore - and the social media tribulations of Thailand. Plus, we tackle hot trends in Europe (Northern Lights) and the Middle East (Saudi Arabia), analyse new trends in family travel and discuss how the growth of self-drive travel is shaping itinerary planning.

Jill takes time this week to discuss the power of shedding old identities, embracing transformation, and reconnecting with our most authentic selves! The Year of the Snake is here, bringing forth wisdom and an invitation to release the masks that we have been wearing for far too long. Join Jill as she explores what it really looks like to let go of the limiting beliefs that no longer serve us. She talks about why it is that we unconsciously shape ourselves to be more "palatable" for others and what it takes to break free from that. This episode of Be YOU isn't just about reflection, though; it's about ACTION, so Jill lists some ways to truly put transformation into motion via journaling, movement, meditation, and deep self-inquiry. You can also expect to hear a powerful message about self-worth, the importance of surrender, and why you don't need to "fix" yourself (hint: there was never anything wrong with you in the first place!) If you have been feeling stuck or are simply curious about the energy of this new year, then you will definitely want to join Jill for this episode and not miss it!   Show Notes: [1:55] - Many of us unknowingly mask our true selves and shape our personalities based on society's expectations. [3:38] - The Year of the Snake encourages transformation, shedding old identities, and embracing your intuition. [6:28] - Jill argues that change can't be avoided and that true control comes from surrendering to it rather than resisting it. [7:55] - Honoring your intuition over what others expect of you allows for personal growth. [10:37] - You have already done enough; your presence, love, and wisdom are gifts to the world! [12:54] - Real transformation happens when you shed external expectations and fearlessly embrace your intuition. [16:24] - Jill explains how suppressing emotions only ultimately strengthens them. [19:17] - Being confident in your self-worth requires never lowering your value to accommodate other people's expectations. [20:36] - Jill discusses how group coaching options help make transformation more accessible.

I begin today by discussing a few things that are important to me (AsiaHarvest.org, Crosspolitic News), followed by some seemingly random Chinese news of murder, execution, and illegal immigration. At some point, I explain why everything you’ve ever heard about China is true, and why many Chinese men really like President Trump! We also hear from a Chinese evangelist on why we should pray for China, and finish with a few final thoughts on the Chinese New Year. Follow me on X (@chinaadventures) where I post daily reminders to pray for China (PrayforChina.us), and check out all of the other things we are involved in @ PrayGiveGo.us!

Markets have had a busy week as we approach the Chinese New Year of the Wood Snake. The US Dollar index started to move lower after President Donald Trump appeared to soften his stance on China. Meanwhile, the US economy remains robust, and US equities are jumping on earnings wins by the most since 2018.In Asia, the Bank of Japan raised interest rates by 25 basis points to 0.5% on the back on domestic wage pressures and core inflation which remains firmly above the 2% target. Over in Singapore, the Monetary Authority of Singapore eased monetary policy for the first time since 2021.This episode is presented by Magdalene Teo, Head of Fixed Income Asia at Julius Baer.

Chinese New Year is coming up in a few days and if you're relatively new to the e-commerce game, there's a few things you should know about the big holiday. Dave is back on the podcast to cover the impact Chinese New Year has on e-commerce sellers and manufacturers, the significance of the Zodiacs, and the common equivalent for those who aren't aware.  Let's be real – email marketing isn't flashy, but that's what makes it great. Who needs chaos when you can have steady, reliable results? That's where Omnisend email and SMS comes in. Check it out today and use code ECOMCREW. Ever wonder why all of China basically closes down every January for Chinese New Year? You're not alone.  Chinese New Year seems like the one time each year that China (and by extension, a lot of the neighbouring asian countries) goes on holiday for a few weeks.  As an e-commerce seller, you probably know by now to place your orders well in advance to prepare for the holiday. But there's a few extra things you should know about that could maintain and keep you in the good graces of your factory.  Luckily, Dave is on the podcast today to break down what exactly you need to know and how the holiday impacts you specifically. The Big Takeaway Chinese New Year is comparable to Christmas in significance. Chinese New Year happens on the second New Moon in the lunar calendar after the Winter's Solstice (December 20th).  Zodiac symbols can influence business decisions in China. Quality control tends to take a dip if orders are shipped before Chinese New Year. Suppliers may have varying deadlines for orders before they close for the holiday. Expect delays in shipping and logistics post-New Year as every company that's importing from China will also be placing orders in advance of the holiday. Be considerate to suppliers during the holiday period. Freight prices tend to dip after the New Year rush, as demand declines.

Welcome to Banter-ville USA, population Madi, Gabby, and you. We do eventually get to Folktales though, and they go like this:Story 1 | Chinese New Year: here's a nice quick, straightforward one, we genuinely have no idea why we were so confused... but this is the story of the origin of Chinese New Year celebrations! You can expect a problematic (albeit only once a year) monster, a "newcomer", and a homeowning granny.Story 1.5 | Gabby's Off-the-Dome Chinese Zodiac Story: we will for sure come back to this one later, but here's a little sneaky-peaky. We love a freestyle here at Spill the Mead.Story 2 | The White Bear King: WHERE ARE THE CHILDREN AND IS THIS BEAR HOT?! In this Norwegian tale, we go for a gosh darn ride you guys... The bear is hot (we think), the princess is a dreamer, the twist is plural. The big take away here is, you can't just be a bear at some point in your life, and then not be hot if you're in human form. Right?
