I hear you. I interrupt Dejan a lot! Admitting this to myself hurt my ego and made me really sad for like three days before I realized that truth hurts and this is something I can absolutely change. Moving forward I am going to be more conscious of this toxic behaviour and stop. In this super meta episode, we dive into why I tend to interrupt Dejan, surprisingly there are a bunch of different reasons and ways that I can better hold space for him in this podcast. This episode is in response to a few reviews that we recently red and I just want to say thank you so much to everyone that takes the time to leave us a review - it means the world to us when you take the time to say something nice or constructive about our work. We are so grateful and as a result we want to share the best versions of us with you all always. hosted by @yourgirlneens and @dejansdayoff / find us on IG @neensanddeens. interested in advertising on our show? email us at neensanddeens@gmail.com

I don't believe in "finding success" anymore. It's lofty and idealistic but I believe that all of us have success in some form, it's just about recognizing it. This week we talk all about when we started to consider ourselves successful, why success is a myth and how we deal with imposter syndrome as it comes up. hosted by @yourgirlneens and @dejansdayoff / find us on IG @neensanddeens. interested in advertising on our show? email us at neensanddeens@gmail.com

Let’s talk about friendship breakups. In this week’s episode we dive into the major friendship break ups that have helped shape us into who we are today. I broke up with my friend around the same time I started my Youtube. And before I met Dejan, he had a best friend and they were inseparable, but after a huge fight, they couldn’t find a way to make it work again. Friendship break ups are hard af and dare I say it, worse than an actual break up.

it's Nina's 25th birthday! we thought it'd be fun to reflect on five lessons we learned too late in life inspired by one of my favorite podcasts, bobo & flex :) lessons like, you don't need to be with every single person you find attractive and have a better work ethic (I'll let you guess whose is whose haha) so even though you're gonna have to make your own mistakes to learn from them, give this episode a listen and don't say we didn't warn you! hosted by @yourgirlneens and @dejansdayoff / find us on IG @neensanddeens. interested in advertising on our show? email us at neensanddeens@gmail.com

raising an interracial baby is going to have it's own set of challenges, especially because we aren't interracial ourselves. how will we deal with conversations about race with Blu? how do we even feel about our own identities? how do I teach Blu about Vietnamese culture when often times I don't even feel Vietnamese "enough"? there are so many unknowns but we are trying to tackle them one podcast episode at a time. hosted by @yourgirlneens and @dejansdayoff / find us on IG @neensanddeens. interested in advertising on our show? email us at neensanddeens@gmail.com

this isn't something I ever thought I'd be doing but I am the breadwinner and Dejan is my "sugar baby". it was a long road to get here and we in no way have it all figured out. I wish I had all the answers but this is a hard relationship dynamic to navigate because of our internalized sexism. this is probably one of our most honest talks/arguments on this podcast lol so hope you enjoy! hosted by @yourgirlneens and @dejansdayoff / find us on IG @neensanddeens. interested in advertising on our show? email us at neensanddeens@gmail.com

people are always telling Dejan he's a great dad and he is, but they don't know that. all they see is him walking around with Blu and changing his diaper in public. the bar is set so low for fathers while mothers rarely get praise, the only praise we do get is whether or not we've bounced back enough yet. this week we're talking all about the sexist expectations that are set on mothers and fathers and how we tried our best to navigate this conversation pre-baby. hosted by @yourgirlneens and @dejansdayoff / find us on IG @neensanddeens. interested in advertising on our show? email us at neensanddeens@gmail.com

was college worth it? I am not sure if we even know at this point. there are so many things we learned in and out of the classroom and so many ways in which we've grown as people and young adults but was it worth the time and money? did it prepare us to find jobs? in the episode we talk about how college failed us but also how it shaped us into who we are today and that's a balance we're kind of okay with. hosted by @yourgirlneens and @dejansdayoff / find us on IG @neensanddeens. interested in advertising on our show? email us at neensanddeens@gmail.com

guess who is who! I've been thinking a lot about how the way I was raised has shaped the ways I express and understand emotions, deal with stress and value my own self worth. we both grew up with very different experiences and while we had great childhoods, there are definitely negative affects associated with the ways we were parented. this is by no fault of our parents because they did the best they could with the resources they were given by their own parents and all we can do is hope to do the same for our child/future children by understanding the weight of our words and actions. this conversation was a real tough one for me and I hope some of y'all can relate out there. hosted by @yourgirlneens and @dejansdayoff / find us on IG @neensanddeens. interested in advertising on our show? email us at neensanddeens@gmail.com

this has to be our most requested topic yet. as we talked about our parents' expectations in dating, our own dating patterns and how our culture and surroundings impacted those decisions, we started to unpack the possible reasons why we've surprisingly only ever been in interracial relationships. there is a much larger conversation about race to be had about this topic and maybe one day we'll have better clarity on our own situations but for now, enjoy this stream of consciousness. hosted by @yourgirlneens and @dejansdayoff / find us on IG @neensanddeens. interested in advertising on our show? email us at neensanddeens@gmail.com
