opening up about our insecurities (part 2)

new year, new us

Over a year has gone by... We are returning with exciting stories and thoughtful reflections from 2023, all embedded within a comprehensive list of our favorites of the year: from what we are binging on Netflix and the hobbies we’ve picked up, to a break-down of our diverse Spotify Wrapped and overseas travel mishaps. Tune in with us as we catch up with one another about how school, work, and relationships fits all into the complex adulthood puzzle, tied together with a few too many bad jokes and some *casual* takes on happiness. Don’t worry, we will be uploading bi-weekly now.  Be sure to follow us on all streaming platforms, as well as on Instagram @⁠ThisIsLifeBrewing⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/thisislifebrewing/] to be notified of future updates and episode releases!

the asian immigrant experience (ft. jonah)

Being an immigrant of any country comes with an experience like no others—one that often involves the confronting cultural divides and exploring one's personal identity. In this episode (with the help of a special guest, Jonah), we discuss the our experiences growing up as third and first generation Asian immigrants, views on the state of Asian representation and assumptions in modern society, as well as the effects of misinformation brought on by COVID to the community. We sincerely hope for this episode to spark conversation on these important issues, so feel free to reach out to us on our Instagram @ThisIsLifeBrewing [https://www.instagram.com/thisislifebrewing/] as well as our email thisislifebrewing@gmail.com about your thoughts and experience on this topic.
