Some losses change you forever. When someone you love is gone, the world feels a little quieter, a little heavier, and sometimes you don’t even know how to take the next step. In this episode, come sit with Caroline and me as we explore what it means to love deeply, to lose deeply, and to slowly learn how to live again.If you’ve ever tried to act okay on the outside when your heart is breaking on the inside, you’re not alone. Healing isn’t linear, and it’s never rushed. But talking about it, naming the pain, and finding small pockets of comfort… that’s where the light starts to come back._______________________________________________________________Host: @danielkuilan | @carolinetambunan Video: @ccc.athhhAudio: @johnnny_wangDesign: @shrnwng

You know the drill… Different states, different schedules, and time zones that just don’t cooperate. One of you says good morning, the other says good night.

So how do people actually survive long-distance love without going crazy? Because let’s be honest, love is already hard... adding WiFi to the mix? That’s next level.

In this episode, Caroline and I interviewed Larah to spill the tea on her own LDR life. How to keep the spark alive, deal with the overthinking, and not let distance turn your relationship into a full-time stress job.

New city, new college, new circle. And yeah, basically starting over again.

Leaving home means saying goodbye to your old gang and stepping into a whole new environment. Suddenly, you’re figuring out who to sit with, who to makan with, and how to make friends without looking too eager. Starting fresh doesn’t have to mean starting alone.

In this episode, Caroline and I interviewed Catherine Ooi and talk about what it’s really like to form a new circle. How to find genuine connections, handle the awkward moments, and build friendships that actually last.

#118 Recipe for a best friend 

Do best friends come with a recipe car, and what’s the secret ingredient?

LOYALTY is a must, a little bit of chaos, and the readiness for late-night mamak sessions or a green tea matcha latte!  

But seriously, is there such a thing as the perfect recipe for a bestie, or do we all just wing it and see how it turns out?

In this episode, Caroline and I cook up the ultimate best friend recipe. What makes a friendship last, what makes it flop, and why the best ones are always a bit rojak but still the best kind.

So… are we dating or just vibing with feelings and zero clarity?Welcome to the situationship, where you do all the couple things, minus the actual commitment. We’ve heard how it’s cute, less confusing, but it’s probably messing with your sleep schedule. Aren’t you in love? In this episode, Caroline and I untangle the messy world of situationships with our friend Chin. We talked about why we end up in them, the emotional chaos they bring, and how to figure out if it’s love… or just convenience without commitment.____________________________________________________Host: @danielkuilan | @carolinetambunan Guest: @ceekeeiaVideo: @ccc.athhhAudio: @johnnny_wangDesign: @shrnwng

You’ve cried together, ranted for hours, survived chaos side by side… but is your friendship built on healing or just shared pain, and you’re kinda enjoying the gossiping! Why does it feel so deep so fast? Is it a real connection or just a coping mechanism in disguise? And how do we tell the difference without ghosting our entire friend group? In this episode, Caroline and I dive into the complex dynamics of trauma bonding in friendships. Is it loyalty or codependency? Or you’re caught between bonding and burnout?__________________________________________________________________________Host: @danielkuilan | @carolinetambunan Video: @ccc.athhhAudio: @johnnny_wangDesign: @shrnwng

God! I’m horny! Yes, we said it… and honestly, you’ve probably thought it.

I mean, let’s be real about this. Navigating faith and desire is not exactly the easiest combo. Whether you're single, dating, or just trying to KEEP IT TOGETHER, what do you actually do with all these feelings without spiraling into shame? 

In this episode, Caroline and I did our best to study and get brutally honest about hormones, holiness, and the awkward prayers no one talks about. Can you be spiritual and sexual? After all, you’re not broken, you’re just human.

Why it hurts, what’s keeping you stuck, and how to finally take out the emotional trash without texting them one last time. __________________________________________________________________________

He’s sweet, kind, and treats you well, but suddenly you’re wondering if someone better is out there. Is it intuition? Is it fear? Or is it just social media messing with your standards again?In this episode, Caroline and I dive into the grass-is-greener dilemma. Are we chasing perfection that doesn’t exist? How do you know if it’s just a phase… or a sign to move on?Let’s talk real expectations, romantic FOMO, and figuring out what matters in a relationship. Because sometimes, “better” isn’t about them, it’s about you.__________________________________________________________________________Host: @danielkuilan | @carolinetambunan Video: @ccc.athhhAudio: @johnnny_wangDesign: @shrnwng

You’re both mad. No one wants to back down. And now it’s a full-blown silent war over who should apologize first. Sound familiar? In this episode, Caroline and I unpack the art of the apology… Actually, more like sharing our own scars from previous battles hahaha! We’re talking about pride and petty attitudes. We learned and talked about why saying sorry feels like surrender, why some people just can’t do it, and whether being the first to apologize makes you weak.____________________________________________________________Host: @danielkuilan | @carolinetambunan Video: @ccc.athhhAudio: @johnnny_wangDesign: @shrnwng

Losing someone to suicide hits differently. It’s confusing, heartbreaking, and leaves a kind of pain that words can’t really touch. Sometimes it’s anger, sometimes it’s guilt, and sometimes it’s just numbness. 

In this episode, Caroline and I talk to Lynnette about the heavy reality of suicide trauma. How it affects those left behind, what grief can look like because it’s not that simple, and how we can take small steps toward healing, even when it feels impossible.

This conversation is raw, it’s real, and if you’re carrying this kind of pain, you’re not alone. 

You can look for Lynnette or her team at https://remindpsych.co/ 

“In the hustle and bustle of daily life it’s easy to handle the tangible, the concrete and the obvious. We get caught up in many small goals; from traffic jams to reaching the next career level, from getting a degree to getting married, we just hop from one goal to another mindlessly because society has deemed it valuable. In the midst of this, we often lose sight of what matters the most to keep us going, our core, our values; the sanctity of our Mind that holds these together. Here at Re:mind, the Mind and it’s wonders to help people thrive is and has always been our priority.”

This isn’t just another deep conversation, this one matters. When it comes to sexual abuse, so many people stay silent out of fear, shame, or not knowing what to do next. But silence doesn’t mean healing. And you don’t have to go through it alone.In this episode, Caroline and I talk to Lynnette about what really happens after the unthinkable! We discuss what to do, who to turn to, and how to take the first step toward healing. It’s heavy, it’s real, and it’s a conversation we need to have. You are not to blame. You are not alone. And there is help.You can look for Lynnette or her team at https://remindpsych.co/ “In the hustle and bustle of daily life it’s easy to handle the tangible, the concrete and the obvious.

“You should smile more.” or “Last time ah, we didn’t have phones and we turned out fine.” or “If only you were hardworking like your neigbour.”

Have you ever received advice from adults that are… CRINGE! Oh, we’ve heard it all. From outdated life hacks to guilt-tripping wisdom no one asked for. Sometimes it’s less “helpful” and more “can you please stop”

In this episode, Caroline and I had dig in the life of Joel and together share on the unnecessary advice we’ve gotten from well-meaning and lowkey clueless adults. Why do they do it? How do we respond without being rude? And is there ever a moment to just nod, smile, and walk away?_______________________________________________________________Host: @danielkuilan | @carolinetambunan

We all know that one person who loves to roast, tease, and push limits.

But when does ‘just joking’ turn into just hurtful? Is it on the person telling the joke or the one receiving it? And are we all just being too sensitive… or are some jokes too much?

In this episode, Caroline and I had a great time with Joel to unpack the fine line between humor and harm. When is it all in good fun, and when is it straight-up toxic?

We talked about boundaries, and why ‘it’s just a joke’ shouldn’t be an excuse for immaturity.

Is dating someone older totally fine or kinda sus?

Some say age is just a number. Others say it’s a major red flag. But where’s the line between a healthy, mature relationship and a confused state of dating?

In this episode, Caroline and I had a great time with our friend Angelica who shared her own perspective of dating and marrying someone younger. We dive into the age gap debate, does dating someone older really make a difference? What are the challenges?

And most importantly, will your friends ever stop judging?

#105 How to know you’re over your ex?

So, you think you’re over your ex… but are you really?

Yes… you’re not crying over old texts anymore, and their name doesn’t send you into an emotional breakdown moment. But what about when you hear your ‘us’ song? Or when they suddenly pop up on your feed looking like life is treating them better? 

In this episode, Caroline and I break down some of the signs that you’ve officially moved on—no more fake healing or ‘I’m totally fine’ lies. Because let’s be real, getting over someone isn’t just about time—it’s about mindset.

Oh… She’s just a friend…

You’re in a relationship, but you still have that one close friend of the opposite gender. Totally normal, right? Or is it a recipe for disaster? 

Does it build trust or just blur boundaries? And let’s be real… Are you actually fine, or are you just pretending it’s not confusing?

In this episode, Caroline and I dive into the friendship vs. relationship tug-of-war. When is it healthy? When does it get messy? And how do we handle it without starring in our own relationship K-drama series?

Is friendly flirting okay?

#102 Flirting… Friendly… Flirty?

Totally harmless, right? Some say being playful is just part of human interaction. What is playful, and what is flirty? Others think it’s basically emotional cheating. So where’s the line? Is friendly flirting just flirting with danger?In this episode, Caroline and I dive into this hard-to-navigate situation. When is it all fun and games, and when does it cross the line? We talked about mixed signals, boundaries, and confusion.
