Friendship Life-Cycles
Recently we've experienced some changes in our approach to friendships and the life cycles of friendships themselves. Whether this is due to our age creeping through the mid-twenties, the long distance we're experiencing between more and more of our friendships, or even the general lack of time we feel with work taking up a larger part of our work day, making new friends and balancing time between friendships is becoming a bigger challenge in our day to day. Today we discuss how we've been dealing with all of these things and share some of the ways we've been tackling changes in our personal friendship as well!This is the last episode of 2021! Thank you so much for your support and love, and for hanging out with us every Wednesday this year. We will be back with a new season on Wednesday, January 12th, 2022, so keep your eyes peeled for a fresh episode from us!

Homestay and Boarding School
For many of us, the immigration experience is linked through our family - either someone in the family immigrated first or we immigrated alongside our parent. But for a lot of us, immigrating was more of an independent adventure! Today we bring on our friend who has been through both a homestay and a boarding school, and discuss the differences between the cultural experience, parenting style, and long term impacts between the two.Support the showFollow us on social media @eatyourcrustpod
