Welcome to golden summers â the kind that felt endless and full of wonder â at our grandparentsâ homes in small-town Himachal Pradesh and Utah . From catching minnows and gazing at a star-studded sky, to the soft ache of remembering whatâs now gone, we examine what made those days feel so magical. What is it like to go back (or not go back) to those places of our childhood as adults? Nostalgia brings a swirl of joy, longing, and a little bit of sadness too. We talk about recreating the essence of those summers in our lives now, and what it means to have the courage to create a new legacy. Tune in for heartfelt reflections, idyllic vibes, and a return to slowness and nature.

It has happened. Sara followed Kritiâs lead by falling headfirst into a blossoming love affair with Korean culture â because, apparently, all it takes is a charming Korean soldier, a moody bookshop, and a perfectly romantic kimchi scene to change your entire personality. We unpack our love for Crash Landing on You (the drama that started it all), and Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop (the book that made us want to quit everything and open a cozy bookshop). We recommend some K-dramas and books that have been feeding our souls, soothing our stress, and occasionally wrecking us emotionally in the best possible way. Seoulmates for life!

This week weâre joined by Charu, who took a leap of faith out of the corporate world and straight into a life more aligned with her purpose. She now leads Conscious Connected Breathwork sessions and is embracing a whole new adventure â living in South Korea! In this episode weâre talking: the courage to leave a career that no longer fits, breathwork as a tool for clarity and healing, finding yourself in your 30s (because self-discovery doesnât have a deadline), and, of course, ALL the adorable, aesthetic and downright whimsical things in Korea. đ§Š

Season 2 is here! Weâre kicking off 2025 with our first guest, Melissa. She shares her love of farm life, the story behind her Bold + Queer family history page and her heritage journaling process. We chat about setting goals, and share tips on balancing ambition with grace by leaning into the season. Saraâs heartwarming journal exchange with her dad might just inspire you to start your own, or maybe you'll take your cue from Kriti's List of Dreams?
