Losing Motivation: Slumps & Climbing out of them
Hi hi hi, welcome to another episode! Hope you're well :))) Today let's discuss fear's partner-in-crime - SLUMPS! It's hard to figure out why they happen, but we can take a little guess & suss out the best way to get out of them (which is what we do in today's episode as it just so happens!) Fresh from our own little slump, let's discuss why looking in on yourself and focussing on that tunnel vision can help you out more than you think (I don't know if the tunnel vision thing is an accurate phrase to use, I can't drive) This episode is a continuation of our 'Burnout' episode from 2020 - scroll back and have a listen to that if it takes your fancy! As always, don't forget to subscribe! For more, see @yessjesspodcast on Instagram, @YessJess on YouTube, and @yess.jessxoxo on Tiktok! Sending love, take care!

Let's Talk About Fear (and no, I don't mean the Lily Allen song)
Oh my oh my, I wish there was a wizard that could make me brave!! Unfortunately, all you'll get today is me (hi). Today, instead of me telling you how to feel or how to think, let's just share our fears. We can't always control how we feel (and that sucks a lot of the time) but what we can do, is talk and listen and share. Dispensing advice is easy (kind of) but actually doing life, doing the work, pushing through the fear of the unknown/the future/daily life - now that's hard. So today, I just wanted to share more of what I'm working through, my thoughts on the fear of growing up & not being afraid of fear itself. A lot of rambling today, prepare your ears, but if you just needed a bit of comfort/wanted to feel like you're talking to a friend, this is the episode for you!
P.S. we're not referring to anxiety/a recognised medical condition in this episode, definitely not qualified to talk about that and no advice given in this episode should be understood as relating to medical issues.

Hope you enjoy today's episode!

Talk That Talk! w/ Roa's Podcast: The K-pop Industry & its Women
On today's episode of Talk that Talk! I'm joined by Roa, a fellow podcaster and k-pop stan! Let's find out more about Roa's biases, her groups she supports and loves, and the mottos she lives by in life! We also deep dive and look at the Western resistance to K-pop music & look at the different constructs placed upon the different genders. We also couldn't go through an episode without mentioning powerful women we look up to such as Jessi, Hyuna, Chungha, and Hwasa, and the great things there doing, and we *manifest* some hopes for these icons!

Check-in//Check-out (Feb): idk maybe it's growth or something....
Aquarius season is over, cry babes, let it all out that the most ICONIC season of the year is done. What are we supposed to do now? While there's no way for March to be anywhere as iconic as February, we can still manifest some stuff and that's exactly what we're gonna do! In today's episode, we review your positive moments from YOU the listener, look at February and the hot girl tiktok mindset we tried to manifest and think about what we want for March. We also acknowledge the emotional growth we might have had (even when we really didn't ask to grow or be tested on this) and praise ourselves a lil bit. Hope you enjoy this ep!

Hahaha...oh no: The Sh*tey Voice in the Back of Your Head
February's first episode deals with the sh*tey voice in the back of your head, the one that tells you you're not good enough, that you're not as smart as you think you are or that you're not going to be great. We talk about identifying what the voice sounds like in order to KILL IT and prevent it from coming back in the future. Growing up and glowing up means healing from past trauma and sometimes the things that affect us in ways we don't even realise (and most of us are so used to the little voice we don't even think about it twice when we accept the things it says as truth!) Hope you enjoy this episode, sending love and comfort to you all. For more, follow @yessjesspodcast on Instagram :)

Christmas Special: I Got Tipsy and Did the Proust Questionnaire!
This year has been so, so naughty so let's do something nice! I saw Stephen Colbert drink and do the Proust Questionnaire a few days ago, so I drank and did the Proust Questionnaire. In this episode, Jess answers questions like the quality she likes most in a man, when she needs to lie, what she dislikes the most & her greatest fears, among others! We recommend trying the questions yourself, it's a great little exercise of introspection and self-understanding! Hope you all have a happy holiday & the end of the year! Sending love and support. Rooting for you all always!! :)

Skincare!
In episode 2, we discuss the stereotypes and perceptions associated with hobbies related to our physical appearance, specifically skincare and its reputation for being associated with people who are shallow or frivolous. We also look at self-esteem, the science of skincare, which ingredients are Jess' faves, and why we should make conscious decisions, even if we only have 3 products in our skincare routine! Also featured is the charity SolidariTee, YouTube channel 'Psych2Go', and a new multi-lingual release from Angèle and Dua Lipa. A longer one today, whack it on in the background, learn through osmosis, and use it to fill the lockdown silence. Remember to stream the new BTS album on Nov. 20. For more info, see @yessjesspodcast on Instagram. Hope you enjoy this episode! It's a joy to share one of my favourite hobbies :)
