The pandemic put a lot of plans on hold but what if… hear us out… we were okay with them being on hold. Pre-pandemic life felt like a WILD time. Imagine doing ALL those things in one day - we literally cannot. And while a lot of things that got put on pause indefinitely during the pandemic were bad, some things weren’t. On this week’s episode, Nadine and Tarini start talking about their plans that were put on hold - mainly, to !!finally!! move out and move in together. But, in true Nadine and Tarini fashion, nothing is as easy as it seems. And if they can’t have it all they don’t want it at all. In all fairness though, there *is* more to it. Tarini and Nadine discuss the pressure they feel as children in immigrant households with different values, what that meant growing up, and also what that looks like for them in the future. Whether it’s moving out, supporting your family, or staying in touch with your culture (take a shot every time Tarini says that in this episode), everything is not always as straightforward as it might first appear and in the wise words of Newton: every action has an equal and opposite reaction - and you can hear Tarini and Nadine discuss them all.
