if your friend brought a greek yogurt bowl to the movies, would you think they're smart or depriving themselves? this episode was inspired by a viral tiktok of a couple doing just that and the internet went crazy. in this episode we talk about diet trends, the line between self care and over restriction, and body image. now, it seems like food is a statement everyone is reading into. follow us: @grownk1d @gaelaitor @_kaylasuarez j...

the new buzzword everyone seems to be talking about is “community.” and though we keep hearing about the importance of community and how we have to create it, nobody really talks about what it actually is. is it friendship? is it a support system? a social circle? though the line of friendship and community blur, in this episode, we talk about how we differentiate the two, the steps we’ve taken to build both, and why everyone seems...

it's been a few weeks since we settled into new york and we're here to answer the big question everyone asks... does moving solve all your problems? and the short answer is: it solves some and creates others. so we reflect on how the move has felt so far, the problems it’s helped us leave behind, and the new challenges we’ve been facing. follow us: @grownkld @gaelaitor @_kaylasuarez join our social club: https://form.typeform....

it’s no secret that everyone is applying for jobs but nobody’s hearing back… even the job market is ghosting us. in this episode, we get into the current school-to-work crisis, how our friends are dealing with it, and how we’ve been navigating it ourselves—kayla recently graduating debt-free from USC (thank you financial aid) and gael dropping out to take an entrepreneurial route. but whether you went to college or not, the result ...

we have officially moved to new york!!! and with this big move, came a mix of emotions—excitement for what’s ahead, and reflection on what we're leaving behind. though we're risking a lot with this move, we talk about not letting fear, guilt, and anxiety overwhelm us because #yolo. we're just a pair of grownkids trying to make our dreams happen and this move is one step closer to it. follow us: @grownkld@gaelaitor@_kaylasuarez ...

we discovered something very empowering this episode, and that is painting our faces as clowns. something about it made us feel invincible and intimidating muahahah. but in our clown getup, we got to chatting about gael's worst fear (eating a dozen crumble cookies), the ozempic boom, and why we hate coffee raves. follow us: @grownkld @gaelaitor@_kaylasuarez join our social club: https://form.typeform.com/to/eBSho4lE overshare w...
