Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

spring diaries #2: honesty in new relationships & finally letting go of toxic people
Q: Is it okay to keep secrets from a new partner about past infidelity?
The hosts share their personal experiences: honesty can be healing and strengthen trust, but the decision should consider how much the past still affects you and the relationship. If the past continues to influence fears and behavior, disclosure can help the partner understand you better; otherwise, it may not be necessary to reveal every detail.
spring diaries #3: how to fill your own cup when life feels overwhelming
Q: How did you deal with uni stress in the past?
Focus on prioritizing key topics, lean into what instructors indicate as essential, create a study structure, and seek support from lecturers when unsure; also emphasize social support and breaking up study with regular breaks to maintain mental health.
The girls are on fire (horse)
Q: What is one overarching intention you would like to set for this coming year?

Q: How was your New Year's Eve?
It was fun, especially with the interesting conversations and making new friends at a house party.
