07. On Social Media: How to Curate our Digital Archive & Identity

In this episode, we’re talking about how we actually use the inspo we save (instead of just hoarding it), the cringe-worthy phases of figuring out our online identities, and why your ‘someday’ saves deserve a second look today. Whether you're a content creator or someone looking to understand your digital footprint, this episode is an honest talk about the good, the bad, and the ‘why did I post that?!’ of being online in your 20.

06. Why Can’t We See Our Own Beauty? & How to Rewrite our Narrative

Why is it so hard to see our own beauty? In this episode, we get real about the moments that makes us doubt our beauty: whether it’s scrolling through Instagram and comparing ourselves to models or hearing well-meaning (but hurtful) comments from family about our weight, skin, or features. Elisa opens up about a recent tough morning where she found herself nitpicking every little thing about her appearance, and how growing up in a culture that focused on her looks shaped her self-image. Doris shares her journey of letting go of silly labels and learning to build her confidence by showing up to the promises she makes to herself. We talk about why it’s so easy to believe the negative stories, and how we can start rewriting them. This is a conversation about learning to love ourselves beyond just our appearances and truly believing in our value.

05. How do I "Play" When Life Feels Heavy?

This week, I’m sharing something that’s been on my heart in a solo-episode: How to hold onto lightness even when life feels overwhelming. Between moments of joy and deep stress, I found myself questioning: How do we make space for play when we have real responsibilities, real struggles? In this episode, I talk about why playful exploration isn’t about ignoring the hard stuff but about carrying it differently. I share my personal experiences, mindset shifts, and how reframing our narratives can help us build the lives we dream of without waiting for everything to be “perfect.” Because happiness isn’t a reward, it’s a tool. Let’s learn to use it. If this resonates with you, share it with a friend who might need it. And if you haven’t yet, subscribe so you never miss an episode! Let’s curate our stories together.

03. 26 & Having Fun: A Birthday Interview with Doris Wu, Founder of With Love Archive

This episode was recorded on my 26th birthday! I brought on my university bestie, Elisa, to chat about all the things—what I’m looking forward to this year, the highs and lows of building With Love Archive, and the lessons I’ve been learning along the way. We also dive into how alike (or not alike) we are, why it’s okay to not have it all figured out, and how to embrace the messy, beautiful journey of life. Whether you’re navigating your 20s, chasing a dream, or just love a good heart-to-heart with friends, this episode is for you!
