#11. Reconnecting Deeper with: Narda Virellia (A Perspective on Physical and Mental Wellbeing) Pt. 2
Welcome to the second part of our talk with Narda! (If you haven't yet, please listen to the Part 1 of this first to get the whole story!) In this Part 2, Narda introduces us to Kasadaia: a blog with a play on the name that translates to "house of power" which focuses on empowerment of people specifically employees. She co-created this blog with her brother based on their personal workplace experiences, which she opens up about. She then talks about knowing our limits, respecting ourselves, and treating yourself well on the inside and on the outside, as these factors are key for our physical and mental wellbeing not just at work but in the general context as well. Towards the end of this episode, we also briefly touch upon her internship experience in Russia, and her wishes to move towards a career with a cause that she's passionate about. - Feel free to share with us your thoughts and opinions by following and leaving us a message on our Instagram @deeper.talks, sending us a mail to hey.deeper@gmail.com, or leaving us a voice message!

#11. Reconnecting Deeper with: Narda Virellia (A Perspective on Beauty Pageants) Pt. 1
In this session, we had the lovely opportunity to catch up with one of our dear friends back from university, Narda! Again, we had such a great discussion with one another, hence we had to split this into two parts; don't forget to listen to Part 2 to get the whole story! In this Part 1, we talk about Narda's experience in Indonesia's most prestigious national-wide beauty pageants. Despite initially having doubts about joining due to the negative connotations that beauty pageants sometimes come with, she decided to change her perspective and do it for a greater reason. Her noble intentions truly showed result: she earned the title of runner-up back in 2018! Her story so far translates into something very meaningful: facing your greatest fear head on can be one of the most effective ways to overcome it. We may end up doing something that we never expected to be doing. And even if things don't always go according to plan, there is still a great possibility that they could fall into place beautifully. Keep your morals close to your heart, and realise your self-worth. - Feel free to share with us your thoughts and opinions by following and leaving us a message on our Instagram @deeper.talks, sending us a mail to hey.deeper@gmail.com, or leaving us a voice message!

#10. Reconnecting Deeper with: Felix Liman (A Discussion Around Being An Educator) Pt. 2
Welcome to the second part of our chat with Felix! Since in Part 1 we were left hanging on the financial aspect of being a teacher, in this Part 2 he first touches on exactly that. To follow, he also talks more about his experience so far as a teacher, specifically within this education system in our country, Indonesia, and what changes he wishes to see.

#10. Reconnecting Deeper with: Felix Liman (A Discussion Around Being An Educator) Pt. 1
In the first discussion of our new segment (or season; whichever you want to call it!), we had one of our university friends come on: Felix! It truly has been a while since we all talked together, which explains the long conversation. For that reason, we decided to split the episode into two parts; don't forget to listen to Part 2 to get the whole story! In this first part, we talk about how life has been for Felix after we all parted ways after graduation. Despite graduating with a degree in pharmaceutical sciences, Felix decided to take the education path. Since graduation and up until today, he works as a biology teacher in his previous school while also pursuing a master's degree in education at the same time. Aside from expressing that this field was indeed his true passion since he was young, he also highlights the struggles that teachers may face during the pandemic which he feels some people at times overlook compared to other professions.

#9. Let's Talk About: Our 2020
So.. it's been a while! Seeing that we are about to close the year, we decided to reflect on what has happened in the past year, what we learnt from these experiences, and what we wish to start (or stop!) doing from this moment onwards. Despite the rollercoaster that was 2020 (and this episode, similarly!), we touched upon QUITE a number of things that we can take away from our experiences; accepting yourself, moving on from the past, focusing on the present, being grateful... just to name a few of them! After you listen to this episode, we hope that you can also take a moment to reflect on how the past year or several months have been for you and what are some of the actions you can do to improve. Last but not least, thank you for sticking with us this far; we hope that some of our talks have been beneficial for you this season, and we hope to deliver more fruitful contents in the next! Your support means so much to both of us ❤. - Feel free to share with us your thoughts and opinions by following and leaving us a message on our Instagram @deeper.talks, sending us a mail to hey.deeper@gmail.com, or leaving us a voice message!

#8. Interview On: Raising Awareness on Money Management (feat. Angelica Too)
Does having a lot of money always mean that you are good at managing your finances? Similarly, does having very little of it mean that you are bad at managing your money? But if the answers to these questions are "yes", why do we still see some relatively wealthy people filing for bankruptcy? To discuss further into the significance of finance management in our lives, we invited Angelica: the great mind behind @themindfulspenderblog who is very passionate about raising awareness around this issue especially to our fellow young adults, some of whom are still financially illiterate. This episode, like the rest of the content on this podcast, does not focus on a "how-to" approach but rather an avenue to help us all think more deeply about the importance of managing our money--whether we have little or a lot of it--and the significant impacts that it can have on our day-to-day choices. (PS: For more on the "how-to"s, do checkout Angelica's thoughts and tips on @themindfulspenderblog on Instagram and more on her blog www.themindfulspender.co.uk !).

#7. Let's Talk About: Parents - Then and Now
[Pre P.S. > https://cutt.ly/9gomHnO < Follow this link for the website and questions that we referred to in this episode!] In this reflective episode, we discuss about our thoughts on and relationship with our parents, which we find to have changed as we got older. We begin by remembering about how we used to think about our parents when we were younger. We then move on to discuss about a point or period in time when we started to see them differently, in such a way that shapes our perception of them today. Throughout this reflective session, we recall the importance of respecting and appreciating our parents. Although we might not agree with some of their ways, and despite the flaws, our parents ultimately just want the best for us; it is hard being a parent, let alone a perfect parent.

#6. Let's Talk About: (Reverse) Culture Shock
Having to move from one environment to another is unquestionably difficult, especially if these two places pose different norms and cultures. In this episode, we're back to just the two of us again! As Nadhira prepares to return back to Indonesia more permanently after quite a while, we decide to touch upon culture shock and reverse culture shock; what they are, and the possible reasons behind why they happen. We also reflect on what we both previously have experienced firsthand: what Nadhira felt about the culture shock when she first moved to Qatar and then about the reverse culture shock whenever she goes back to Indonesia, and how Jessica tackled the reverse culture shock when she moved back to Indonesia after spending some time studying abroad in Malaysia and in the UK. We hope that this discussion can be beneficial and relatable to you, especially to those of you who might have just moved abroad for the first time and those of you who have just returned back to your home countries after having spent a considerable amount of time abroad.

#5. Interview On: Starting Small in a Big World (feat. Hollysia Alda A.)
Last time, we thought about how to try to make it in the corporate world. We then thought further, however, about how we could approach our career by being an entrepreneur instead (especially given the current situation, where the job market isn't at its friendliest!). Yet, some of us may be afraid to start, because of the risk that comes with starting your own little business from scratch, especially if you have minimal experience AND that market is already saturated. So, we decided to talk to our friend, Holly, who tackled just that; at 16 years old, she had the initiative to start her own online shop by herself, which still lasts until today. Despite her relatively young age and zero initial experience, she was able to make use of the existing resources around her and figure it out, slowly but surely, with strong passion and hard work. In this episode, Holly tells us about what sparked her idea and how she gathered the required resources to start. She also shares with us the valuable points, both the good and the bad, that she learnt so far as she grows with her business. This definitely is a fun yet fresh insight on the online shop world for us.

#4. Interview On: Working Out the Work Life (feat. Arief Afandi)
It is no doubt that, for many of us, transition from the university to the working environment is not easy. So, we wanted to get some tips from our friend-slash-senior Arief here who, at face value, seemed to have had a smooth move into the work life. Not only did he secure a job in a top tech company directly upon graduation, he was then accepted in another equally top one 5 years later! However, as he uncovers it in this episode, we did not expect him to have had quite an internal struggle in both his transition and the beginnings of his career. Even so, instead of dwelling in these struggles, we think he truly embodied the famous phrase: "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade". Arief starts by telling us how he faced the moments before and during the first few years of career, before enlightening us with some tips which are equally important to those who are about to enter and who are already in the labour force. He then left us with a story about a bizarre question: "are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?", which actually translates into a deeper meaning.

#3. Interview On: Advice to Your Younger Self (feat. Azizah Fauzi)
We believe that it's always good to reflect on and draw lessons from our past encounters in life, perhaps some useful tips that you could hypothetically tell your past self and also remind your future self of. In this more casual episode, we caught up with Azizah, a dear, supportive friend of ours. She shared with us one or two advice that she would tell her younger self 5 years ago based on her experience, which also made both of us contemplate on similar experiences that we've went through as well.

#2. Let's Talk About: Insecurities
Some of us are less confident than others, and this is often a consequence of being insecure about certain aspects of ourselves. In this episode, we discuss about our thoughts on the topic of insecurity, why they arise, and how we've tried to deal with them. Nadhira joins Jess as she takes an emotional trip down memory lane and reflects on her childhood experience, realising how overcoming certain insecurities may not be as easy as others, but that we owe it to ourselves to continue trying for the sake of our well-being.

#1. Let's Talk About: Comparison
In our first ever episode (yay!) we talk about our take on the comparison game; how we may compare ourselves to others around us sometimes, and how it can either have a negative or a positive effect to our state of mental well being, depending on the way we perceive and react to these comparisons that we make. Aside from sharing our thoughts and opinions (and, of course, some tips!), Jessica also briefly discusses Festinger's social comparison theory, and Nadhira opens up about a relatively recent experience connected to this topic.
