Do you ever just get that feeling you don't belong? Marissa opens up about some of the deeper insecurities she's been facing lately – from imposter syndrome at work to confronting her savage inner critic. Hanli explores what it means to truly let yourself go and express yourself without judgement, even if it's a bit cringe.
We're tired of adulthood so we had ourselves a pyjama party. This week, Hanli gets existential with the question, does generosity breed greed? What do healthy expectations look like in our grown up friendships, and why do we sometimes feel short-changed? Meanwhile, Marissa tries to concoct a formula to raising a funny child (the secret ingredient: a sprinkle of trauma)... before we argue over what…
We're taking you on a wild ride this episode. Hanli and Marissa define their relationship as a little more than a friendship but a little less than lovers, before digging into what's been on their minds this week. Marissa's made Hyrox her entire personality this past month, but shares her frustrations on the latest health crazes and her fury over the return of skinny culture. Hanli gets into the…
Hanli and Marissa are back for season 6 baby! We're bringing the lols, the feels, and real talk. Marissa spills on her recent engagement, while Hanli gives us the debrief on her cultural wedding.

Then we figure out where the lines are between our friends and our…
For the first time in forever Hanli and Marissa take a break from their BFF LDR and record this whole episode without breaking eye contact... and things got deep. We reflect on a few important life things, like... Have we taken self-hood too far? Is social media only feeding our need for external validation? Who is your safe space? Is there such thing as gossiping for good? Are we suffering from…
Do you guys ever just save up for a good cry? We're running through some of the weird reasons we've gotten emotional lately.

Marissa reflects on how growing up can sometimes feel like growing apart, as we all enter different chapters of our lives.
Ladies, we get it. Online dating can be such a chore. We do the work, we’re ready to put ourselves out there, but how many frogs do we need to kiss before we find our prince? In this episode, we’re talking about all things online dating. The highs, the lows, and the weird and wonderful things we experience on our quest to meet the one. We spill the tea on the few times we tried to make the first…
Can you BELIEVE it? Four years on and this cute little podcast is still going strong. We know it's been a while and we have so.. much.. catching up to do. In this episode, we give you the rundown of what we've been up to over the last few months, from moving half way across the world, to the weird and wonderful things we're learning about living with our partners.
First of all, an announcement. Hanli is kinda sorta leaving Singapore... and we need to talk about it. We share the full deets, and take a moment to reflect on what it means to make that jump. Plus, lets talk about energy vampires. Chances are you know one, maybe you're close friends with one; they might even be a family member. You love them, but wow is it tiring dealing with them sometimes. We…
