#91: Let's BeReal About Deleting Instagram
Another episode about Instagram??? At least it’s not manifestation! “End Instagram” has been all over our feeds- and with good reason. Not only does the algorithm not work for anyone (except to show us ads), Instagram is basically Tik Tok at this point. On this week’s episode, Nadine and Tarini...
-
#90: Don’t Tell Us You Have Curly Hair Unless...
On this week’s episode, Nadine and Tarini discuss all things curly hair. But not how to take care of it (Ashley Tisdale already put out a video on that- IYKYK). Instead, it’s about how curly hair is trendy and how it feels for people who have struggled with their hair forever. And while it may be...
-
#89: The Most Controversial Topic on Earth: Women’s Bodies (Pt.2- Reshaping Minds Instead Of Bodies)
On last week’s episode, Nadine and Tarini discussed the implications of overturning Roe v. Wade in the U.S. and its impact around the world. This week’s episode continues the conversation in a different way. Women’s bodies are constantly policed, whether through policy or in media. This week’s...
-
#88: The Most Controversial Topic on Earth: Women’s Bodies (Part 1- Roe v Wade)
The last week in politics has been… harrowing to say the least. The over turning of Roe v. Wade- which protects the right to an abortion- casts a dark shadow on the work countless people have been doing to push equality and democracy for everyone- especially those most marginalized. On this…

#87: What Have You Heard About Heard?
Even if you haven’t kept up with it- you’ve kept up with it (just ask Tarini). The Amber Heard vs Johnny Depp trial has been all over social media and it seems that everyone has an opinion. On this week’s episode, Tarini and Nadine discuss some of these opinions they’ve seen online. This trial…

#86: What Matters Is The Journey and The Destination
Nadine and Tarini are feeling anxious. What about? They’re not sure. On this week’s episode they talk about understanding the root cause of their anxiety, letting go of the “all or nothing” mindset, and question the famous saying: “what matters is the journey, not the destination” - isn’t the...
-
#85: Take It To The Polls
Surprise! We're back after a quick hiatus! Nadine talks about voting in the Lebanese elections for the first time with her family, leading to a conversation on the importance of staying political engaged in every election. Nadine cries at the polls (any poll! voting, instagram...etc), and Tarini...
-
#84: Saturn Has Entered The Chat*
It was Nadine’s birthday this week!!!! Which means she’s one year closer to turning 30. While at one point that may have caused her anxiety (we just can NOT check the next box over on the doctor’s office form that asks your age, IYKYK) with age comes wisdom and this year it’s ~no big deal~ (in…
more -
#83: Give Me A Break
The pandemic taught us many things but one of the most important ones was the need to rest. On this week’s episode, Tarini and Nadine discuss how rest as we know it has evolved over the course of the pandemic. It continues to do so, as things start to reopen and people look towards a “post...
-
#82: We Can’t Keep Up With The Kardashians
The devil works hard but Kris Jenner works harder. Which is probably why the Kardashians have finished (what feels like) their 100th season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians and, before that’s even completed, launched their new show (we don’t know what it is called because we have not kept up…
more -
#81: SIGNed, Sealed, Delivered
At this point, this podcast should be renamed to some version of The Secret. Nadine and Tarini are back this week with, as what should come as a surprise to absolutely no one, an episode is all about signs. Whether you believe in divine intervention or not, some “coincidences” make it hard to...
-
#80: 20 Questions With An Influencer
Last week, Nadine’s credit card struck again and she bought another meet and great with an influencer. This one wasn’t a one on one but a group q&a where people started asking… personal questions. Influencers are a new wave of celebrities. They’re the version of celebrities we feel closer to…
more -
#79: Neither Here Nor There
While it feels like we’re out of the pandemic, we’re actually not. And it’s in fact quite the opposite- coronavirus remains raging across the world, mutating faster than Nadine can swipe her credit card (so you know it’s fast). On this week’s episode, Tarini and Nadine discuss this dissonance and...
-
#78: CTRL-C/CTRL-V
You know what they say, imitation is the greatest form of flattery. And it is, in a way. Inspiration is found everywhere and social media has made it so easy to be inspired. Whether it’s other artists or even just content you see on people’s platforms, it’s a great way to stay on top of trends…
more -
#77: The Ritual Behind Rituals
Rituals are meant to calm us, keep us grounded, help our wellbeing- but what if they no longer serve that purpose? Enter Tarini and Nadine: lovers of rituals but haters of actually doing them lol. Okay, that’s only half true and while they have definitely mastered the art of creating these so...
-
#76: The Power of Negative Thinking
This week’s episode isn’t one Tarini and Nadine thought they’d be recording. If you had told them even just a year ago that they’d be talking about the REAL secret (which is that the secret isn’t real- iykyk) they’d have told you to stop speaking negativity into existence (lol they hate…
more -
#75: December 32nd
New year SAME US and we’re not mad about it. 2022 is straight up looking like 2020 take two- but maybe this is the year we finally learn that New Year’s is not a big deal and we don’t need to make a million resolutions to change into any better version of ourselves. It’s just another day, another...
-
#74: On A Positive Note
Nothing has us feeling more negative than a positive COVID test. When the emphasis for so long has been on what individuals need to do, it can feel like a personal failure when you see a positive test result but on this week’s episode, Nadine and Tarini break down why that isn’t true. Having…
more -
#73: Progress Over Perfection
The last episode of the season!!!! And of course it’s about our favourite (worst) topic ever: the coronavirus. It’s only fitting considering our first episode this season was about the pandemic, that it’s also what the last episode is about. It’s been a hard year and a half and the pandemic has...
-
#72: Should I Stay or Should I Go?
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...
-
#71: Canada, Palestine, Kashmir: What is colonization?
It seems like every time you turn on the news there’s something new happening, and in the worst way. Nadine and Tarini have been trying to record this episode for weeks now but it’s impossible to talk about any one tragedy that’s taken place in the world without talking about them all - because...
-
#70: The Burnout Of Consumption
There is a lot going on in the world right now, and it’s not easy to keep up on a good day, let alone when it feels like everything is on fire around you. This week’s episode is about how to avoid feeling overwhelmed while staying educated about global affairs (fun not fun game: take a shot every...
-
#69: Doug, There's People That Are Dying
Tbt to when Nadine and Tarini thought this pandemic would end “and once it’s over, we’ll wish we’d made better use of this time”. Over a year into the pandemic, and with the situation seemingly only getting worse worldwide, the only thing that’s becoming abundantly clear is that there is no…
more -
#68: Are You Still Watching Ginny & Georgia?
Everyone’s been talking about Ginny and Georgia, namely Taylor Swift. After calling out the show and Netflix for a joke made against her in bad taste, instead of the show being held accountable, it instead got all the publicity it needed. As they say, no attention is bad attention. So on this...
-
#66: Girls Will Be Girls
March is International Women’s History Month and this past Monday we celebrated International Women’s Day. The fight for women’s equality is a definitely nothing new. It’s a tale as old as Adam and Eve - and, in fact, this week’s episode discusses just that. The oppression of women dates back to...
-
#65: Tell Me About Myself
The truest form of self care is learning more about yourself - and we all know how much YKWIM loves self care. There are a million tests you can take online (the Myers-Briggs, Enneagram type, to name a few) that we take the easy route by letting these online quizzes tell us about ourselves…
more -
#64: Catch Feelings Not Flights
... at least during a pandemic. But it seems like everyone’s sticking to the original version because every time we log on to Instagram, there is without a doubt a new person flying to Mexico (Ted Cruz, Ontario finance minister, that girl from your highschool who thinks she’s an influencer…

#63: Finding Kindness in Wellness With KrystalRoseFit
This week’s episode features YKWIM’s second guest! Say hello to Krystal of KrystalRoseFit, a holistic health coach and certified trainer blazing her own path in the health and wellness world. If you’ve ever listened to an episode you know the only thing we like more than saying “you know what I...
-
#62: Capitalism Never Sleeps
This Thursday was #BellLetsTalk Day - a term coined by Bell Media to dedicate a day to raising awareness about mental health. For every share, repost, and retweet, the company donates five cents towards mental health programs. While this may seem like an altruistic initiative at first, programs...
-
#61: Not Your Average Goop
Gwyneth Paltrow is heralded as the queen of health and wellness - creator of Goop and self proclaimed founder of yoga in the western world, she has become an icon in the health and wellness world but not exclusively for good reasons. The health and wellness world seems less like a place to learn...
-
#60: Wake Us Up When January Ends
Green Day sang “Wake Me Up When September Ends” because they clearly hadn’t lived through January in a pandemic before. The first episode of the new year is almost a follow up to the last episode of the last year. While 2021 holds a lot of hope for new beginnings, Nadine and Tarini just aren’t...
-
#59: Don’t Get Mad At Gravity
As this year comes to an end, there’s a lot to reflect on. 2020 has been a wild ride and not in a good way. We didn’t just have to change our plans for this year but literally cancel them completely. On this week’s episode, Nadine and Tarini discuss planning for an upcoming year when the only…
more -
#58: We Don't Have The Same 24 Hours In a Day As Beyonce
COVID fatigue is hitting Nadine and Tarini hard this week. But this week’s episode is not just about covid fatigue - it’s everything that comes along with it. While working from home has been great, there are also a few challenges. Like why does the internet always cut out and freeze when you’re…
more -
#57: The Power of PR
Welcome to the Pink Table Talk where Nadine and Tarini talk about what happens on the Red Table Talk. Just kidding but why does it feel like they always take on different news anchors’/ hosts’ personalities (remember the CNN anchor/ political analyst phase during elections) after watching their...
-
#56: 'Tis The Season to Gift Consciously
Tarini and Nadine are self-proclaimed thoughtful gifters. As much as they love getting gifts (and they love getting gifts) putting effort into thinking of what to get, where to get it from, and giving a meaningful present is equally as fun for them. And not just making sure that giving the gift...
-
#55: I Need Somebody With a Human Touch
“‘Stop right now, thank you very much. I need somebody with a human touch - The Spice Girls’”- YKWIM. On this week’s episode, Nadine and Tarini talk about the impact the digital world has on our real world. Everything from how we think to how we act has been impacted by the digital world we live…
more -
#54: 25 Not Sitting on 25 Mill
Another year older, another wiser. At least, that’s what they say. But you know what else comes with another year? We don’t know, and while Nadine and Tarini don’t do well in uncertainty - it’s not wisdom for them - and that’s for sure. As Tarini’s birthday comes closer, so does her quarter…
more -
#53: Low Power Mode: On
Is mercury in retrograde? Is it a full moon? While it certainly feels like these are very strong contenders for why the last week has felt more like a year, the real reason is the 2020 U.S. elections. Nadine and Tarini are exhausted - and they aren’t the only ones. The general anxiety of the...
-
#52: Save Us Joe
This week especially, there’s only one thing on people’s mind - the U.S. elections - and rightfully so. Last week, Nadine and Tarini discussed the impact of the elections on the world, and this week, they have brought in YKWIM’s first guest! Give a warm welcome to Rishav - currently a fourth year...
-
#51: WTF is happening in the U.S. (and the world)
SEASON THREE HERE WE COME! We are back and better and we could not start this season without addressing the elephant in... the world. Whether it’s the coronavirus, the elections, or the general state of the world, the US seems to be the epicentre of all the madness (which, all things considered,...
-
#50: The Chilling Adventures of... Nadine’s Credit Card
As we all know, it doesn’t take a lot for Nadine to fall for good marketing. But this may be one of her most outrageous purchases yet. Welcome to the last episode of season two: the chilling adventures of... Nadine’s credit card. TBH quarantine or not it‘s been having the most fun — girl has been...
-
#49: Intersectionality
One of the main tenets as the conversation around race and racism continues is intersectionality. Coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989, intersectionality is the overlapping of a person’s identities as it relates to social structures such as race, gender, and class, to create a nuanced experience…
more -
#48: Hi, God? It’s YKWIM.
This week’s episode is taking a bit of a turn for the religious. Nadine and Tarini are talking about God. The number of times they say “oh my God” you’d think God would have heard them by now but it seems to be taking a little more than that. They discuss their relationship with their faith, how...
-
#47: Practice What You Post
YKWIM took a little break to reflect meaningfully on everything that’s been happening in the world. And this week’s episode is about exactly that. Tarini and Nadine talk about the reverberations being felt worldwide in the wake of George Floyd and how the world has been responding. Finally, it...
-
#46: In Tarot (and Zoom) We Trust
This week’s episode is like nothing we’ve ever done before - Nadine reads Tarini’s tarot cards! Nadine started reading tarot cards a year ago, and is slowly completing her transformation in to full shaman (half kidding) Tarot cards have been around for hundreds of years and are used to help guide...
-
#45: The Mind-Body Connection
May is mental health awareness month, and mental health is one of the biggest buzzwords nowadays. It’s all over social media and at the top of everyone’s mind. Everyone’s giving their opinion on self care and dealing with mental health - it’s hard to figure out what’s real and what’s been...
-
#44: Never Have I Ever... Auditioned For a TV Show
Quarantine has not been good for most things, but you know what it has been good for? Our Netflix queue. And one of the latest shows added to Netflix has been Mindy Kaling’s Never Have I Ever. The show follows Devi, a young Indian American girl in California navigating teenage life with her...
-
#43: Big Soul Energy
Taking care of your health has never been as important as it is right now. But this is not another episode telling you to journal or workout (although, guilty - we’ve been there). This week, Nadine and Tarini are talking all about taking care of your energy and of yourself ~spiritually~. Yes…
more -
#42: Quality over Quantity
Last week, Nadine turned 25 and had a quarter life crisis. But with age comes wisdom, and this week’s words of wisdom are all about relationships. On this week’s episode, Tarini and Nadine discuss what it means to be a good friend, outgrowing friendships, and learning how to level set for better...
-
#41: Conscious Consumption
Are celebrities ok? Asking for a friend. No doubt these are trying times and unsurprisingly it seems the world has turned to social media to deal with it. You can not go one minute without reading about what an influencer or celebrity is doing during their quarantine and why are so many people...
