Navigating Biases, Sexism & Dating: A Gender Conversation

Sun, 01 Jun 2025 15:34:13 GMT

In this long-awaited episode recorded back in March, I sit down with my best friend Shu Ling for an open and honest conversation on gender, one that’s been brewing for a while. We explore everything from dating norms and financial expectations in relationships to workplace sexism, hiring biases, and the pressure women face to “do it all.”

Together, we reflect on personal experiences, cultural shifts in parenting and careers, and the silent costs of raising a family. From the roles of female bosses to how gender dynamics play out at home and work, this episode dives into the many layers of what it means to navigate the world through a gendered lens.

It’s vulnerable, real, and just the kind of conversation we wish more people were having. Tune in for stories, insights, and a whole lot of truth.
