#9 | 🗓 Halfway through the year! Reviewing personal OKRs
Hellloooo! We're halfway through the year, so what better time to review some of them OKRs. In this episode, I'm looking back at the OKRs that I set at the beginning of the year, seeing how they've progressed. Some are doing ok, some aren't 😅. But I think that is value in reflection evaluation as we continue in through the next half of this year.

#5 | 💰Let's get personal and talk about finances!
Let's have a conversation about personal finances! Money is an inherent part of life! It doesn't have to be a taboo topic. One of my favorite things to discuss is budgeting and how to go about it. When you're able to understand your money better, you're able to make decisions that help you achieve what you want to do in life. No this isn't a finance podcast, but hopefully some of these tidbits can be helpful on your journey!
If you're trying to find that budgeting app for you, check out You Need a Budget (YNAB) (https://ynab.com/referral/?ref=7ZITfQxr8m1NCTff&utm_source=customer_referral)! Give it a try for 34 days. They have a ton of great resources to get you started if you get stuck. If you have any questions, I happy to answer them.

Burnout is very real and understanding how to navigate it can be hard especially with the initial onset. In this episode, this is very much a reflection on my experience and what I learned from experiencing burnout for the first time.

#3 | 🏃🏻♀️ From Mass Media Arts to User Experience Design
Shifting careers isn't the easiest thing to do. There is a lot of unknowns involved in the process, but it's a very much a possible process. My name is Tien-Tien, and I'm a mass communications major turned designer based in Atlanta, GA. My journey into design was as untraditional. There were a lot of learnings along the way, and hope some of the tidbits that I gained can help others making that shift in their career.
