Now that we're a little bit more adjusted to the 9-5 in our mid-twenties, the time has come to look for some hobbies! Whether you prefer your hobbies to be calming or exciting, hands-on or virtual, social or solo, there's something out there for the little child in all of us! However, our guest today talks about the meditative, primal nature of her hobby, ceramics, and it does make us intrigued to get our hands on some clay (or slime...or floam...). Join us as we discuss our perspectives & approaches to hobbies in our adulthood! Support the show

Vacations are always exciting (someone pls implement summer vacations for adults!!!) but part of the fun lies in the prepping & packing process ;-) From packing cubes to travel size toiletries, nothing is sexier than a perfectly planned capsule wardrobe organized neatly inside the perfect size suitcase.

This month, Crystal & Jeesoo ran a 5k together! We discuss how our running journeys have morphed from running the mile in middle school to incorporating runs into our 9-5s. Do we enjoy running now?

We have a lot of complicated feelings about our period. We’re no longer the shy teenagers at school who whispered about our periods, but we’re not necessarily the biggest fans of the monthly ritual either, especially not when it comes with cramps, acne, and mood swings.

Tune in to hear us connect with Melinda and Uma from @lets.sync.health about periods & sexual health. Let's Sync is a platform & community to learn and chat on all things gender and health in an open, inclusive, and encouraging way. They believe that together, we can all become more informed and confident on these topics.

It's been almost exactly 1 year since Crystal has moved to New York City - and, over that past year, many more of our friends have been moving to "The Big Apple" as well!

Today we discuss how NYC has brought out different sides of Crystal and impacted things like financial priorities, making plans, and not yelping at subway rats!Support the show (https://ko-fi.com/eatyourcrust)

Recently we've experienced some changes in our approach to friendships and the life cycles of friendships themselves. Whether this is due to our age creeping through the mid-twenties, the long distance we're experiencing between more and more of our friendships, or even the general lack of time we feel with work taking up a larger part of our work day, making new friends and balancing time between friendships is becoming a bigger challenge in our day to day. Today we discuss how we've been dealing with all of these things and share some of the ways we've been tackling changes in our personal friendship as well!This is the last episode of 2021! Thank you so much for your support and love, and for hanging out with us every Wednesday this year.
