We kind of grow up alongside the content creators that we love. And for some of us, our favorite content creators are the ones who wear their heart on their sleeve.  YouTuber Joelle Park has videos spanning over 7 years of her life. Her channel features everything from high school/college advice videos, heartfelt videos addressing important topics like racism and internalized misogyny, and goofy vlogs with her friends and family. Not only do we love her fun content, we love her for her raw, open vulnerability with her viewers.  Today we discuss trends in media and the expectations they place on creators, the balancing act of pushing out content you enjoy vs. content that does well, and the impact of filming vlogs on self-confidence.  Follow Joelle on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/c/JustJoelle1Follow Joelle on IG @joelleololFollow Eat Your Crust Pod on IG @eatyourcrustpodSupport the showFollow us on social media @eatyourcrustpod

When life feels like it’s running a million miles per hour, taking care of the big things feels much more urgent than the little things. But often times, it’s the little things that bring the most joy!  Inspired by Ingrid Joy Fetell Lee’s Joyful Planner, which encourages us to actively plan for joy rather than expect it to spontaneously stumble into our lives, we express our gratitude about the little things we’ve been doing in the past few months that have brought us joy.  Wishing everyone a happy Thanksgiving from our families to yours ♡  Check out Ingrid Fetell Lee’s Joyful Planner Follow us on IG @eatyourcrustpod Support the showFollow us on social media @eatyourcrustpod

Birth control can be intimidating. There’s so many different shapes, sizes, and forms of use, not to mention the horror stories you hear through WebMD or your friends. Whether you see them as a pesky chore or a form of empowerment, it’s an essential part of many of our lives. Today we tackle our experiences with different types of birth control, any side effects we’ve experienced, and the involvement of our male partners in our BC journey!     Follow us on IG @eatyourcrustpod Support the showFollow us on social media @eatyourcrustpod

Gender expression is often taught to us through things like TV shows, school uniform rules, or conversation with our parents. But when you grow up in between two different cultures, it can mean you’re exposed to double the stereotypes and expectations! Today we take a blast to the past to observe the various gender roles we’ve picked up through our favorite Asian dramas and celebrities, and explore how these portrayals translate to female empowerment and LGBTQ acceptance in society and our families. Our guest, Karen, is a fellow podcast host of her own show Mx. Asian-American, where she explores the Asian-American experience in all aspects of life. Check out the episode that Crystal and I did on Karen's podcast (ep#24 - East vs. West with Crystal and Jeesoo)! Follow Eat Your Crust Pod on IG! @eatyourcrustpod Follow Mx.

Silicon Valley is the pinnacle of technology - so much so that you can’t go anywhere without being reminded of it!

Not only does she demystify the world of tech in her informative YouTube videos, she also makes coding seem fun and chill through her co-working streams on Twitch.
