Stephanie Tran is co-founder of Relating Between the Lines (RBTL), the life changing communication course that we both took. Kevin Do was a facilitator for both of us in RBTL. Somewhere along the way they started dating and got married.

In this episode we talk about When KDo Met Steph, girl-bossing so hard your body starts to deteriorate, healthy masculinity, being novices at having fun, and how to navigate situations where pursuing your dreams can hurt your partner.

Among our friends, none has embraced their fandoms as whole-heartedly as Phil. He is unabashed in his deep love for anime and power rangers, even throughout a process of going on 100 first dates (which led to him meeting his now-wife!).

Phil inspires us to love what we love, out in the open. So in this episode, we geek out about our anime origin stories and learn about how Phil’s passions have defined his 9-5 working in tech, and 5-9 as an anime merch influencer.

Ruth is one of our most prolific side project friends, and also one of our most prolific parent friends. Sometimes those two identities intersect, like when Ruth builds kids play areas in community spaces to make San Francisco a more kid friendly city.

In this episode, we talk about joyful parenting, and how a brief stint in hospice care shifted her towards an anti-perfectionist mindset.
