Part II of the Friendchip series is ready for your ears!

This was one of those conversations that had a lot of laughs but also a lot of . Making friends is one thing, but maintaining friends is another story! Some topics we cover: letting go of friendships intentionally/unintentionally, how we prioritize friendships, and reasons for drifting apart, and making assumptions.

Let us know what you think and if any of this resonates!!

Puns anyone?

We apologize for being a bit distant on the IG lately - truly, we’ve just been living life in moment! ☀️🍹💃🏽 And we hope you have been as well this summer 😎

But here we are, back at it with the FRIENDCHIP SERIES! ✨

In this series, we will be talking all things friendship! Life would be sad and lonely without friends, but man, it sure can be a struggle to prioritize hanging out when you got a buttload of “adulting” to do 😒 Life gets in the way, plans get canceled, mental health struggles, stress, all the things.

We hope you enjoy this upcoming series and would lalalalalalove to know what qualities you believe make a true friend? (You’re a truuUuuuUuuuuUuuue friend *Hannah Montana reference ifykyk)

Part 2 of the EMPTY OCEAN SERIES IS NOW LIVE! 🐠🗑🥤

In this episode, we wanted to discuss a recent event that is having a devastating effect on our oceans. The "Dead Zone" that has been appearing in the Gulf of Mexico over the last 50 years has repeatedly reached record size in recent years due to a 30% higher increase in nitrogen and phosphorus from the Mississippi river runoff. We share our experiences handling the increase in climate tragedies and address some steps to deal with climate anxiety.

PS: Have a great week everyone and please don’t hesitate to reach out, provide feedback, and let us know what you want to hear next!

📣 PSA: Stop Asian Hate Crimes

Since the beginning of the pandemic, there has been a massive increase in hate and violence towards Asian Americans. In 2019, roughly 200 hate crimes were reported. That number has skyrocketed to 3000+ since the beginning of the coronavirus due to dangerous rhetoric used by political leaders.

Please let us know your feedback/additional resources we can share & look at ourselves to stand in solidarity with our communities.

How to help:
1. Report a hate crime at StopAAPIHate.Org
2. Donate to HateIsAVirus.org, CAASF.org, & AdvancingJusticeAAJC.org
3. Educate yourself:
- to understand the recent hate that is growing since the beginning of the pandemic
- Asian American news resource
- national coalition addressing anti-Asian hate amid the COVID-19 pandemic

Just dropped the FINALE of the Identity Series! 👤

We had so much fun making this series for you and truly hope it gave you some insight into your own identity.

Stay tuned this week to find out what the next Tofu Talk series will be!

Wishing you a relaxing end to your weekend, and a fresh start to your week! We’re currently bracing ourselves for a nor’easter rolling in this week here in Boston 🥶⛄️ How’s the weather where you are?

PART 1 of the Identity Series is LIVE! 🥸

In this episode, we discuss our experiences growing up as minorities in majority white communities & how that shaped our perceptions of ourselves.

We touch on quite a few things - American society’s beauty standards 👱🏼‍♀️, confidence, and being introverts/extroverts. 🙇🏻

If you have ever been asked the question “What are you?!”, we think this episode will be especially relatable! We hope you enjoy this vulnerable conversation & if you like it, tag a friend in the comments or simply share it with a friend 🤙🏼

We are super excited to introduce our FIRST series! ⚡️ As you know, we love to talk about everything from personal development to food! In an effort to organize our MANY pieces of tofu, we will be choosing & announcing a series topic that will consist of 3 episodes all related to that topic! That’s right. Organization. Consistency. Well, at least we try 😅

With everything in life, this podcast is a work in progress & we’re excited to see how you enjoy this first series dedicated to the topic of Identity. 👤 The first episode of the Identity Series will be live THIS Sunday so stay tuned! 🔈

With that said, get off this app and go enjoy your weekend! 😉
