the use of ai in education

womanhood

In this episode, we unpack our experience of modern womanhood and the complexities of living in a period of recent social progress. We discuss whether the benefits and harms associated with being a woman stem from the same beliefs, and whether the benefits still come with hidden costs. We then turn to modern dating norms and the transactional elements that can show up across different kinds of relationships. Tune in to hear us explore how these beliefs shape relationships, and what fairness, autonomy, and partnership look like in an evolving world.

making sense of art

In this episode, we dive into the messy, intimidating, and alluring world of art. We talk about what art means to us, how it feels to engage with it without formal training, and the ways we’ve tried to define art for ourselves. Tune in to hear our takes on the head–heart dichotomy, how much artist intent really matters, and if meaning can emerge even from technically-driven or purely aesthetic pieces. We also explore our trust issues with interpreting art, how credibility shapes our reactions, and how certain mediums are easier to interpret than others.

buying into beauty culture

In this episode, we unpack our tangled thoughts on beauty, body image, and what motivates us to pursue self-betterment. We talk about buying into beauty culture, the strange tension between body positivity and wanting to change, and whether we’re all just gaslighting ourselves a little. We also explore the potential connection between posting on social and creating art, aesthetic vs. candid photos, and whether you can truly grow without being a little unhappy with where you are.

social media

Tune in this week to hear Amy and Grace delve into their hesitancy to not post on social media. They share what it has meant to them in the past, the way these views have changed, and their current idea of the pros and cons of being active online--how it may perpetuate comparison, be a medium through which to brag, and lead to a lack of vulnerability, but also how it can stimulate connection and maintaining long-distance friendships.
