My soulmate. My other half. "You complete me." "Love's first kiss." The idea of us needing one, end-all-be-all romantic partner to become "whole" is a tale as old as time. But is this idea a healthy one, or does it take away our own power and agency? In this episode, Meg & Fran try to re-define the idea of "soulmate" in a way that puts ourselves first.

This is .sales.14 & cracking up at the first question we got when we looked up "frequently asked questions Asian-Americans get" (according to Google & Yahoo! Questions, but we can attest that almost all of them are accurate). We didn't know what to talk about during our newest episode, so we randomly decided to tackle some good ol' microaggressions. Are you BIPOC? If so, what microaggressive comments make you crack up/frustrate you/make you throw your hands up in exasperation/[insert all other emotions here] in various settings or scenarios? We'd love to hear from you. DM or email us at [email protected]. (and we thought this would also be a good opportunity to remind everyone to keep saying their names and that black lives still matter!)

(Yes Fran was fully drinking wine while recording this episode...) Meg and Fran (Megan Del Castillo, ) talk about getting sucked into comparing our "progress in life" compared with others, especially when we've gone through something specific, which turns into the "lens" we view this "progress." (For example, losing a child and seeing everyone having kids, or going through a breakup and seeing everyone in a happy, committed relationship.) And yes, we talk about not giving any "sh*ts" (no, it's not the "sh*ts" you're thinking.) Click the LINK here: https://linktr.ee/deepconvospod for the full episode, where we discuss strategies on how we stay on our own journey but still investigate these thoughts instead of suppressing them. And let us know how you deal with the "pits of comparison!"
