by Amanda & Esther
Our mission is to have candid conversations that dig a little deeper using an evidence-based framework. We want to stimulate critical thinking about everyday issues and how they link to us as Christians, ABCs (Australian-born Chinese) and millennials. We talk about life, purpose, happiness, having a healthy relationship with money, investing, raising positivity, goals and inspirations, and how these fit in with our faith. We explore positive psychology, cognitive bias, neuroplasticity, behavioural economics and the science of life!
