an ENFJ-T & ESFJ-T
How different can we be? In this week's episode, Chirag and Carina took their personality test and spent the entire episode talking about themselves- narcissistic much. Haha jokes aside, it was really interesting to see how a lot of the descriptions described who we are but some were just way off. We hope this inspires you take the test or re-take it (because you're always changing) and learn more about yourself!! https://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test

OUR VERY FIRST PODSWAP :D
In this episode, Chirag and Carina invited their very first guest of the season: Jesse Hsieh aka The Uncooked Rice Show's host! They dived into a conversation about stepping outside their comfort zones to follow their goals and passions. At one point in the podcast, they all just started roasting their lives and discussing how they felt brainwashed in year1 of university. TLDR: don't be a sheep, and just be your unique self!

mental health check
In this empathy episode, Chirag and Carina catch up and check in on one another. Too many times in our lives we're so caught up with everything that we need to do that we forgot about the most important thing- ourselves. We hope this episode reminds you to take a break because you deserve it. Take care!
Ps: we're only uploading once a month in the summer for our mental health sake :))

stress management 101
In this week's episode, Chirag and Carina talk about different methods that they use to deal with stress. Whether it is playing online games like Wild Rift or jotting down their daily goals, we hope you relate to our coping methods and are also inspired to use our ways to deal with stress too. One thing to remember: one of the best ways to deal with stress is actually talking to someone and letting them know what you're dealing with. We know that it is hard to open up to others about your own difficulties but once you start doing that, you'll feel like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders!

this is not ok.
Today's episode is a discussion about the increase in asian hate crimes all over the world, and near our home. We rarely talk about what it is like growing up as an asian kid so we hope what we share today relates with your experiences too and also empowers all of us to stand up for ourselves. It is time for us to take a stand and not let all these hate crimes be swept under the rug. Change starts now and it starts with all of us working together!

social media: a need or a want?
In this episode, Chirag and Carina talk about the negative and positive sides of social media. Whether it be the increase in performative activism and spreading false information or having the support of your friends and looking at cute chonky animal pictures, social media is both beautiful and ugly. They also talked briefly about the increase in asian hate crime which will be explored more in the next episode. The Empathy Show challenges you to unplug for a period of time and focus on what is important to you. Control your social media use and not let it control you.

you are the music in me
In this episode, Chirag and Carina talk about music that has been a part of their culture and has shaped their identity. Whether it be those "old" songs their parents played when they were younger or high school musical, every song they heard since they were little has helped mold them into who they are now (and what songs they listen to). We hope this episode gives you some song recommendations and also inspire you to go find the songs that you listened to when you were younger!
