Ep 16 - Comfort in Isolation
Being alone. Feeling Lonely. We all felt it at some point in time, especially during these times. Being alone and isolated is such an uncomfortable feeling and often times we try to look for some sort of distraction to get rid of these uncomfortable feelings. In reality, we might be able to find some comfort and even wisdom in isolation if we allow it to be. In this episode, we discussed our current experience being alone and isolated as Nicky is quarantine in the hotel for 14 days and Nicholas is living alone for the first time.

In this episode, we are sharing the news of our next chapter in life and the change that we are going through. We discussed what makes moving on difficult and what we have ultimately learned from it.

Ep 05 - How to Win Friends?
Friends are an important part of our lives, they influence us in how we think, what we do, how we feel, and most importantly keeping us sane and happy. But making friends might not be an easy task. Many of us are faced with social anxiety, fear and not knowing what to do to win friends.
This is not a new problem, in fact, this episode is inspired by a best-selling book "How to Win Friends and Influence People" written by Dale Carnegie in 1936. He uncovers a few common-sense techniques but are not common-practice when communicating with friends, which is why this episode emphasizes its importance and summarise it into 5 practical techniques to win friends. These techniques will not only make it easier to make new friends but also develop stronger relationships with your current friends.
