14. "De-mythifying" Creativity, And Other Relevant Rants
This week we talk about creativity and address the silly notion that creativity is only for stereotypical artists and that science is not a creative field. As per usual, we go into multiple rants (think capitalism, pay gaps between fields, and the likes). It's as Priyanka-Madi as it gets. Leave us a comment and tell us what you think!

13. What is the Universe??
This week we discuss our opinions about the way the universe works. Is everything utter chaos, or is there a predetermined order determined by the forces of the universe? In typical Priyanka and Madi fashion, this episode is full is disagreements, laughter, and the general understanding that humans don't really know anything about anything. Hope you enjoy!

11. Are we goal-oriented?
This week we're discussing different forms of motivation, specifically being goal-oriented or process-oriented.

10. Commitment (& All Related Phobias)
In this episode we're talking about commitment, but with a twist. We delve into ideas of how commitment (and related phobias) also is relevant to career related reflection, and discuss ways in which we experience said commitment phobia in our own lives. P.S. Per usual, there is a side tangential rant (this time relating to bachelor parties). P.P.S. Ironic that we talk about commitment phobia in our tenth episode! :) Head over to our Instagram to be notified of new episodes and find out more about us and our thoughts on life!

6. Vulnerability in Just Being
This episode is inspired by a quote from the popular Netflix reboot, Queer Eye — "Maybe I need to stop telling people who I am and let them see who I am." Priyanka and Madi delve into the various ways this quote resonates (and doesn't resonate) with them, and discuss the ways in which they manifest their own vulnerability.
