It is finally the actual end of the year and the Pine and the Water sit down to look back at the worst cold they've had in a long time. The struggle is sometimes to just slow dowsn in order to get better, because maybe one day there won't be a "getting better" if we don't learn now. PS: they might be breaking up and this might be the last ACOT episode (shhh). Cause apparently they're too busy and we know w...

Mika and Majo review their summer for 2024 and while it was not as outdoorsy as they’d have liked, they did manage to enjoy the season with silent discos, airport odysseys and wardrobe fittings for their new show SBSH. Not that we’re getting jealous here at ACOT or anything… 💅

On this Cup of actual Tea, the Pine and the Water visit the idea of archiving our lives–something a lot of us are doing lately–purposely or not. This quickly went from existencial to a ranty debate on the artificiality of taking photos for the grid. But enough about them, what's your take? 🧋

Have you had an interaction with someone that reminded you of an NPC? The Water has, and she's not in love with it. Today The Pine and the Water try to figure out social maintenance of casual interactions, which then takes to listening to others and the issues of the political divide. All is wrapped up in what Majo "mentally wrote" as the third act of the episode: Dune and the refreshing taste of stepping away from we...

After coming back to do another Pockets in the Universe episode about her relationship with her weight, body image and health, the Water spills the tea with us on the things she didn't share then. Geeking out about the science behind our physical health and sharing real life experiences on the matter, they revisit social pressures, lacking education and the need to stop comfort culture.

Are relationships independent or are they interconnected? Would you have an open relationship? If so, would you want to be in the know or stay in the dark? We dissect the Pine's journey through her experience with relationships.

Before wrapping 2023, we round up our thoughts about our creative journey–again. Even though the Water hates the term, they both get into what this work in progress has meant for each of them: how is it going with the company? What are their thoughts on the newest project they're working on? Posted waaaay after Christmas, but here for you to enjoy and wonder about your own creativity, career and work journey.

Mika and Majo have been talking to Gen X women about the differences between our generations. They say us Millennials are made of crystal, but we see Gen X is made of stone. Is our fragility part of our strength or is it ruining us?

The Pine and the Water are at that age where their friends are getting married. Is it a social signal? A spiritual ritual? Or ‘just a paper’? Mika and Majo are not too convinced marriage is the way to go. Join us till the end for a bit of a therapy session on why even be in a relationship at all?

After another edition of The Water is away, Mika and Majo look at their time apart and their chaotic weeks. Scheduling and productivity hacks can help but after being interviewed on ¿Y ahora cómo se le hace? [What do you do now?] They realize it's all about recovering.

HR has failed The Pine. She argues for mental health awareness and, in true Mika fashion, stands up against blindly following rules. However, the Water is not convinced. Calling it like she sees it: our generation tends to be coddled and it needs to stop.

The Water is finally back AGAIN. However, The Pine's mom just left after visiting Vancouver for a few days, which turned this Cup of Tea into a family dynamics therapy session. Can we break the cycle of unapproachability between our generations?

After last week's telling of the Pine's lake adventures, it is the Water's turn. This time, Majo and her family make a trip to Tequis, one of Mexico's Pueblos Mágicos. Not only did they buy quartz and other very heavy rocks at the artisan market, but Majo realises she can't let fear drive her life the way sometimes it does her grandma's.

The Water travels–again–to México, leaving the Pine alone–again. And after the traditional roundup of airport experience, they delve into the feeling of being home after a while, now feeling like a visitor. But that’s not all, they reminisce about their young-adult lives (or should we say, emerging-adult lives) as they realize millennials have taken the midlife crisis and turned it into the quarter life crisis.

The Pine and the Water get inspired by the Huberman Lab, as we all do, and try starting new habits. Although it is hard, they try to make it as accessible as possible–Atomic Habits style. They both aim to bike or run daily for a week, stay tuned. And speaking of running, the Pine brought up Is Up to the Women by Eleanor Roosevelt to discuss the pros and cons of girls being taught basic household skills early in life.
