Ever had to explain that employment break to a recruiter? Or go through extra effort to write an essay to explain a gap year for your business school application? The concept of gap years has been infamously frowned upon, and today our guest Yamini (IG: @yaminitalgaonkar) shares her personal story of why she decided to take the challenging step to quit her job and take a break for herself. Travel, social work, hobbies, passions, or just a simple break - we discuss some great reasons to take that gap year, but we also talk about why few organisations do not consider personal development as important as professional experience. We also dish out some advice on how we can make that gap year look good for you, and how you can handle that on your next job hunt. Beware, there&#39;s some slight Management Consulting and Investment Banking bashing that happens too, listen at your own risk! #podcasts #podcasters #podcastlife #worklifebalance #burnout #gapyear #employmentbreak #recruiting #selfdevelopment #travel #hobbies #passion #socialimpact #ngo #investmentbanking #consulting We hope you enjoy it and stick around for future episodes!

&#34;We are all a little weird and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join with them and call our mutual weirdness - love&#34;. Dr Seuss beautifully explained what love is, and today&#39;s episode talks about how we can find the perfect someone to share this love with. We talk about how the &#34;process&#34; of marriage has changed over generations and ages - and the stark difference between the Western and Asian culture. With the help of our guest Rajdeep &#39;Reva&#39; Kalsi (IG: @revaoninsta) we identify the reasons behind why &#39;finding the perfect life partner&#39; has become difficult in this day and age, what factors should ideally be considered, and if pop culture and movies have influenced our take on long-term relationships. #podcasts #podcasters #podcastlife #relationships #dating #lifepartners #love #marraige We hope you enjoy it and stick around for future episodes!

Memories of high school either bring tears of joy or shivers of fear - but why this varied reaction? From talking about teenage pregnancy to dealing with a confused sense of identity - our guest Mauricio (IG: @mauricio.schz ) shares his highschool experiences - both the goods and the bads. We discuss how the intersection of highly competitive academics, coming of age, and the peer pressure to be &#34;cool&#34; all accumulate to add an extra layer of stress. We talk about things we changed between high school and undergrad, and also talk about advice we would give our 15 year old selves if we could go back in time. #podcast #podcasters #podcastlife #relationships #wellbeing #highschool #selfdiscovery #friendships We hope you enjoy it and stick around for future episodes!

&#34;Reading is to the mind what Exercise is to the body&#34; - this quote perfectly summarises our guest Kevin Li&#39;s feelings towards reading - something that frees him and relaxes him after a long day, while keeping his brain running. (IG: @ye.kevin.li) In today&#39;s episode, we talk about the beginning of our reading journeys, our favourite books as children - and how those favourite books changed throughout the years. We discuss why reading is such a good habit to develop - and what have been our personal takeaways from this habit of reading.

Have you ever wondered why do we compare ourselves to other people, even when it makes us unhappy? Is it to benchmark your own successes with respect to others, or is it to self evaluate and enhance yourself - especially with a group of peers with similar paths and backgrounds? Today, our guest Milagros Wong (IG: @milagroswongt) talks about why humans tend to have upward and downward comparison trends, and how both have their own pros and cons. We also discuss the toxic traits of comparing yourself to others, and talk about ways to avoid the negatives affecting us - by keeping your journey your own.You can also follow Mili&#39;s food instagram account @lagastroagenda We hope you enjoy it and stick around for future episodes!

Can you remember the number of cold emails sent out to strangers, or the number of hands shaken at networking events? We all know that networking is key to securing a great job, but how do we differentiate between relational networking vs transactional networking? Our guest today, Taj Sohal, shares his networking experiences when he started out in his career.

We all have our favorite shows to binge on, again and again and again. Sometimes, we prefer to watch something familiar instead of exploring a new show or a genre. Today, along with our guest Angie (IG: @angiegro92), we discuss why we sometimes go back to our favourite shows - is it comfort, tradition, or the sheer laziness of finding something new?

Have you ever been at a crossroad in life, in which you need to decide between something you &#34;want to do&#34; vs something you &#34;have to do&#34;? What do you choose? Does intrinsic motivation play a defining factor in this decision? Or do you look at things more logically - looking at the long term implications?

We have all either friendzoned someone, or been friendzoned ourselves. The word &#34;friend&#34; is supposed to be positive right? But why is being &#34;friendzoned&#34; a negative concept?

TikTok really saved our lockdown phase, didn&#39;t it? Although established since 2016, TikTok took over the world in 2020. You could spend hours drowning in the widest variety of byte-sized information, and you would still not get bored. So what made Tiktok so famous, and so addictive - especially with GenZ?

Having grown up in a scientific academic background in our teenage years, we were explained about most of the natural phenomenon that occur around us - using science. Yet, in the 21st Century today, we still believe in a &#34;higher power&#34;, even though many brush off this idea, considering it to be irrational - especially because we have the scientific evidence for most occurrences in evolution and society. Today, our guest Mario Samanta (IG: @mariosamanta) shares his thoughts on why religion still exists in today&#39;s society - and whether external factors like tradition, community, purpose, and comfort in God have key influence on people in today&#39;s world.

Have you noticed that in many cases, it is strangers who seem to support you in your ambitions more than your friends do? Why would strangers who have no idea about you, be so much more likely to help you and support your ventures? And why would your closest people not support your dreams, or even dismiss them altogether? Jealousy, protectiveness, or just sheer disinterest? Our guest today, Deeksha Juneja, helps us identify few key pointers that affect this, while also discussing ways in which we can get the perfect support from the right mix of people around us.

Do you remember the fun times we spent as children - cycling around the block, swimming at the beach, or playing video games at your friends place? Have you ever wondered why we stopped doing these things which we clearly enjoyed so much? Was it because of additional responsibilities, greater career focus, loss of interest, or did life just get in the way? Today, we discuss our most beloved childhood passions along with our guest Gonzalo Irujo, and we try to decode why we stopped doing the things we loved as children.

We&#39;ve all heard this - people being called &#34;good at math&#34; just because they&#39;re Asian, or women being called &#34;understanding and warm&#34;. How is it possible that these seemingly positive stereotypes can have a negative impact on people?
