The Weekly Standup

She might seem like she has it all together, but in this episode, Katryna opens up about the slump she was in and how she got out of it. We chat about what she's been reading, job interview updates, feelings of fulfillment, and needing to make changes in your life to get over the hump. This community is where we feel comfortable to share more of us, who we are, and what we're going through, so thank you for listening! We love you!

May is both and AAPI Heritage and Mental Health Month, and in this episode, Jada and Katryna dive into both. They open up about their personal heritage, what it was like growing up Asian American in a predominately caucasian community, how they care for their mental health, and more.

Over the weekend, Jada had a moment of clarity: she literally documents everything in her life. From taking photos of every matcha she's ever ordered to vlogging her everyday life — nothing goes undocumented. It got her thinking… why do we do this? In this episode, Jada and Katryna deep dive into the feminine urge to capture, archive, and aestheticize our lives through photos and videos. Is it about romanticizing our lives? Adding a little bit of ✨main character energy✨? Or is it just innate? Let’s talk about it.

Katryna & Jada have so much to catch up on! Jada went to Hawaii (again!), and Katryna's been busy attending exciting brand events for our faves Summer Fridays and SKIMS! We also get into de-influencing you because you do not need another lip balm or blush. Is the Always Pan really worth it? Do Lemme gummies really work? And do we really need to follow the latest trends? We're all guilty of impulse buying or wanting something because it feels like a status symbol, but maybe this episode will make you think twice and be more conscious of your consumption. Hope you enjoy listening!

Grab a snack, get comfy, and join us for a laid-back, anything-goes episode! Jada is over at Katryna's house for a fun sleepover. We let our minds wander and chat about everything from what our Roman Empire is, thoughts on K-pop, to the question of whether we feel more like "girls" or "women" as we navigate life.

In this episode, Jada and Katryna open up about the challenges and triumphs of navigating a tech career as young women or as Jada likes to say, a "girly pop". They give advice on how to deal with imposter syndrome, talk about where their drive and initiative comes from, and celebrate Jada's recent promotion to Senior Consultant / Software Engineer!

After ending the last episode sharing out favorite things, we thought we'd record a whole episode about what we're loving and the things that make us feel like ✨that girl.✨ In true Katryna & Jada fashion, it's a girly chit chatty episode and we hope it keeps you company on your commute to work or on your daily walks!
