  • Adult Friendships Are Just Like Marriages - Episode 20

    Adult Friendships Are Just Like Marriages - Episode 20
    2024/11/21

    Navigating adult friendships can feel like threading a delicate needle—balancing personal growth, differing priorities, and the inevitability of change. In this episode, we explore the complexities of maintaining meaningful connections in adulthood, drawing wisdom from Mariama Bâ's So Long a Letter. Through its poignant portrayal of friendship, we unpack themes of loyalty, communication, and the resilience required to nurture relationships that stand the test of time.

    Ephesians 6:2-3 NIV
    [2] “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— [3] “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.” Big shoutout to my beautiful friend Lizzy, thank you for x she makes sure to be intentional about our Adult friendships

  • Adulthood Is a Scam!!! Where was I rushing to?😒😡-Ep. 19

    Adulthood Is a Scam!!! Where was I rushing to?😒😡-Ep. 19
    2024/11/14

    In this episode, we’re diving into the myth that adulthood is a magical time of freedom, fun, and fulfillment. We grew up with so many expectations: financial freedom, dream careers, loyal friendships, and maybe even finding “The One.” But for most of us, the reality has been far from the dream. Bills are unending, friendships fade, and balancing work, health, and relationships can feel like a losing game.


    Together, we’ll explore the common disappointments and challenges that come with adult life and the strength it takes to keep going. How do we reconcile the life we imagined with the one we’re actually living? And how do we find joy, meaning, and growth even when things fall short?


    Whether you’re in the middle of your own struggle or just need to feel seen, tune in as we unpack this universal experience with honesty and hope.

  • The Pressure to Conform- Ep. 17

    The Pressure to Conform- Ep. 17
    2024/10/31
    Episode 16: The Pressure to Conform** In this episode of It’s Not That Deep, we dive into a common struggle: the pressure to conform. How do we balance our personal identity with societal expectations? Drawing inspiration from 1 Samuel 9:21, we explore the tension between staying true to ourselves and meeting the expectations of others. Through two personal stories, we uncover the complexities of this dilemma. First, we meet a passionate graphic designer whose family believes her career isn’t “practical” enough. Then, we hear from a corporate professional torn between a promotion that could compromise their values and staying true to themselves in a cutthroat work environment. We also draw parallels to Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, exploring Kambili’s journey of self-discovery in the face of external pressures. Tune in for an honest conversation about identity, compromise, and the courage it takes to stand firm in your beliefs.

    Who Am I? Exploring Identity in a Modern World
    2024/10/02

    Who Am I? Exploring Identity in a Modern World, I delve into the complex topic of identity through the lens of cultural duality. Drawing inspiration from Psalms 18:2 (NLT), the episode highlights the challenges faced by individuals balancing multiple cultural backgrounds, as shared in two compelling stories. The first explores a personal dilemma of navigating Indian and American heritage, while the second discusses the crossroads of a dual citizen torn between Japan and the United States. We also reflect on Okonkwo's struggle with identity in Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, as we explore how identity shapes our choices and sense of belonging in a globalized world.
