ease

when i was younger, having a big group of friends felt like everything. i wanted to fit in, be liked, and feel like i belonged somewhere. but as i've gotten older, i've started to realize that having a lot of friends doesn't necessarily mean feeling connected.in today's episode of ease, i'm reflecting on how my relationship with friendship has changed over the years. we're talking about growing apart from people, feeling misunderstood, learning to appreciate the friendships that make us feel seen, and realizing that not every connection is meant to last forever.maybe friendship isn't about how many people we have around us, but how we feel when we're with them. let's get into it!

why are we so embarrassed of who we used to be? i used to hate when people would send me old photos of myself. instead of feeling nostalgic, i'd immediately cringe.in today's episode of ease, i'm looking back at the versions of myself i spent years trying to distance myself from and wondering why i was so embarrassed of someone who was literally just figuring life out. we're talking about wanting to fit in, childhood insecurities, and how some of the things we once wanted to change about ourselves eventually become the things we love most. maybe growing up doesn't have to mean rejecting who we used to be. let's get into it!

this week, we’re chatting with fashion designer Bi Pham about growing up as an immigrant, figuring out what he actually wanted to do with his life, and finding his place in the fashion industry. we get into his family’s move from vietnam to the u.s., why he initially pursued science, and what eventually led him to fashion. plus, Bi shares stories from his time on Project Runway, talks about reconnecting with his vietnamese culture through design, and why fashion has become about so much more than just clothes for him. let’s get into it!follow Bi Pham: instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bi_element/

what if consistency isn’t about having the perfect routine or suddenly becoming a completely different person? this week, i’m talking about my complicated relationship with consistency, why doing the same thing every day feels nearly impossible to me, and what i’ve learned from having to show up for something every single week. we’re talking creativity, confidence, keeping promises to yourself, and the boring little things no one talks about when you’re working toward something you really want. maybe consistency is less about doing everything perfectly and more about proving to yourself, little by little, that you’ll keep showing up. let’s get into it!

this week, we’re chatting with feng shui educator, architect, and author Anjie Cho about how the spaces around us can influence our energy, emotions, and everyday lives. we’re getting into what feng shui actually means, how different areas of our homes can connect to things like abundance and relationships, and how the objects we surround ourselves with might be affecting the way we feel without us even realizing it. plus, Anjie shares simple ways to shift the energy in your space, work with what you already have, and create a home that feels more supportive of the life you want to live. let’s get into it!follow Anjie Cho: website: https://www.anjiecho.com/ instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anjiecho/?hl=en linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anjie-cho-23189525
