Accelerated by a global pandemic, youth are experiencing a mental health crisis unlike anything we've seen before. There aren't enough clinical providers. Lack of providers makes support inaccessible. Support is reactive rather than proactive. Educators are burnt out. Clayful provides coaching for every student - when & where they need it. We chat with founder Maria Barrera about: About Maria Maria ran her first coaching session when she was 15. Then as a tutor, and now as founder of Clayful, Maria has always found joy in coaching others through everyday life stressors and challenges. This led her to start a tutoring company while getting her engineering degrees at Stanford University, to leading growth, product, and marketing at edtech leader Nearpod, and to being a part of the early team at HR-focused, a16z-backed, ChartHop. Now, she is building Clayful to be the support she wished she had had (and that would have saved her lots in therapy bills!). With Clayful, kids have access to personalized resources that improve their mental wellness, regardless of socio-economic status.

Posting online is scary - especially when you come in with preconceived notions of what it means to gather a following and to put work into that. We spoke with Sharon Lee, a TikToker best known for her LA recs, loving advice from her dad, and hot takes on media, about her journey into TikTok - how she hated (and still hates) influencer culture, how she positions herself to make this endeavor meaningful, and how she even deals with negative feedback from judgmental friends and getting canceled.

Previously on the podcast, Erica came onto the podcast to chat about how we can all level up our lives with side quests. As we dug a little deeper in our questions, at one point Erica shares that it gets into her life philosophy of believing the journey is more important than the destination (it’s even her go-to second date question). But what if you’re more like us and have habitually cared about the destination, but still crave the ability to feel freedom/agency to start a new hobby? We’ll share our perspectives as trained main questers and some of the mistakes we’ve learned as we’ve embarked on new hobbies and side quests. Previous episode: Level up with a side quest ft.

Malicious compliance, quiet hiring, worker hoarding, career cushioning, and quiet quitting are movements in the ever-shifting relationship between employer and employee in this economy. We break down what these terms mean, and talk about how social media influences our relationship with labor and autonomy. We end by talking about the most recent round of layoffs by big tech, and predict what’s going to happen next.

Have you ever wanted to hide a part of your identity or life from someone? As we grow older, we naturally become more aware of what biases and connotations our identity and history hold, and we could either look forward or be really reluctant to witness reactions and judgments from others. What if we took those insecurities, those what if’s, and leveled the playing field for all your love interests and gave you all the chance to present yourself the way you want to be presented? Here's your Valentine's Day watch, PINK LIE, a show that's equal parts spicy and sincere, and we're so excited to dive deep into our review and reflections with our good friend and former guest, Vanuyen Pham.

What can you do to ensure that lunch with your parents & partner goes well...especially if your parents have disliked your partner for the last 7 years? This week, Da Eun shares her dilemma, and Sophia shares her perspective/advice. “My partner and I have been dating for over 7 years now. But what most people don’t know is that my parents have not liked my partner. There are several reasons for their judgment, some of which I understand, some of which I don’t relate to. Whenever my relationship was brought up at home, one of us would always start crying. Because those conversations were filled with so much strife, it became easier to not talk about it. It’s probably been 5 years since I have spoken about my relationship in depth with my parents. Add the pandemic on top of that and my parents being on the other side of the world, there was really no chance to advocate for my relationship. However, my parents are finally visiting me in the US, which could be an opportunity for my partner and family to spend time with one another in the form of a meal together. [...] (1) Should I bring up the idea of a meal together with my parents? (2) What can I do to ensure the meal goes well?” How to support bamboo & glass: 🌿Share thoughts and ideas with us via Instagram @bambooandglass 🌿Share our Instagram posts & episodes with loved ones - we're on every podcast platform 🌿Treat us to a coffee through Buy Me a Coffee 🌿Invite us to your company/org/school to lead a workshop!

Last week, Da Eun asked for Sophia's advice regarding the workplace. Today is Sophia's turn to ask for Da Eun's advice. TODAY'S TOPIC: I notice that overall, you’re very proactive in maintaining friendships and making new friends. For example, there are many times when a friend from hs reacehs out and you make time to catch up. Also, when you see someone interesting on LinkedIn, you’re great at reaching out and following through on scheduling time to get to know each other. I want to be like you, but I think some barriers for me are: Do you have any tips on navigating these particular barriers?

Da Eun: We’ve been friends for almost a decade now, hard to believe, but we always have so much to learn from each other given our expertise, our lived experiences, and the synergy that is our friendship. Today, I need your advice, Sophia. Sophia: And I’ll need your advice, Da Eun, in the next episode. Hopefully, people can gain some more insight into the vulnerable aspects of our friendship, and also hear our personal thought processes when it comes to supporting our loved ones. TODAY'S TOPIC: Dear bamboo & glass, at work, I lack a lot of confidence and catch myself having incredibly invasive self-talk. I tell myself “oh my goodness, everyone thinks I’m a fraud and I am not capable. They’re just tolerating me at this point.” “how I could I be so dumb? There’s no way I can keep up.” I’m tired of how that can ruin my day and week so easily, and I know that it’s the meaning that I put behind these incidents that give it so much power. How can I get rid of this self-talk, especially when I am prone to believe it’s over 60% true?

"A professional change in midlife can provide a much-needed reset—at least when you’re looking for a career that more closely aligns with your passion. But finding what you love, especially once you’ve gone down an entirely different path, can feel impossible." On bamboo & glass, we talk about the abundant possibilities of who we can choose to be, and one pillar we discuss is career. We all know the career jump is challenging. It’s oftentimes where most of us get stuck: the fear of pursuing our dreams or stepping outside of our comfort zone. But what we don’t talk as much about are the questions and sobering realizations we continue to have months, even years into the new venture, and how we relate that back to our “old selves.” We'll hear two past guests, Karen Mok and Serena Lee Kim, share their meandering journeys of wandering through career, unpacking success and passion alongside reinventing and redefining their identities.
