This is the first episode of our discussion podcast, Conversations with Michelle and Jacky. We aim to spend each episode with an individual from our lives that we find interesting and engaging and have an extended conversation about their personal histories, influential life events, hobbies and interests, core attitudes and beliefs, and future aspirations. These conversations are relatively free flowing and the ultimate point is to help us gain greater insight into these individuals that capture our interest. Our first episode features a back-and-forth between Michelle and Jacky as we use the questions from Story Corps (https://storycorps.org/participate/great-questions/) to learn about each other. We cover topics such as cultural identity as a second generation immigrant, cultural norms around relationships, pivotal positive and negative experiences in our lives, the lessons we derived from those experiences, parental influence, death anxiety, and much more. We tend to go on A LOT of tangents. Please leave some feedback on whatever platform you listen to this on!
