Another honey lemon shot but this time we have my fiance joining me because in this episode we're diving deep into our couples therapy experience. This was something I had been wanting to do with my partner Len for years but he had major reservations about it. I thought it was important to talk about why we decided couples therapy was right for us but also how we both gave each other space to be ready for it.Len also discusses in depth why he was so against therapy at the beginning and how his thoughts have changed. Most importantly he came to these conclusions on his own and in his own time. Have you been to couples therapy or even individual therapy? How did it work for you?If you want to connect with my silly goofy fiance you can find him here.Want more Honey Lemon?Follow us on IG @thehoneylemonpodThis podcasts features music created by Mod8rn Sounds.Don't forget to rate, review, subscribe and do all those lovely wonderful things if you want to support the pod and support me!

We're back! Took a little break (not on purpose) but back with a passion! This episode is all about sibling order and chatting about my experience as an eldest child. There are so many ways our upbringing and life can affect us and I thought it was so interesting to dissect how the order you were born in can affect your personality. I definitely comb through all of the traits of each sibling you could be and I would love to hear from you if you think these traits were true to you. Of course life experience and nuance will always be present but this is just a fun way to understand ourselves a bit better don't ya think? Want more Honey Lemon?Follow us on IG @thehoneylemonpodThis podcasts features music created by Mod8rn Sounds.Don't forget to rate, review, subscribe and do all those lovely wonderful things if you want to support the pod and support me!

Our next guest is an entrepreneur, producer, creative consultant & a marketing girly all in one.  Her lifelong passion for global cinema has led her to work with some of the most creative companies (TIFF? You might have heard of it) and people in the world. Through her experiences, she recognized that there was a need for a formal voice to speak on behalf of South Asian cinema and guide talented South Asian filmmakers on how to bring their works to international audiences.  This is how she founded her company Viewfinder Film Productions. This bio doesn't even cover half of the accolades Dilani has achieved but I’m going to let her talk more about it in this episode.I found this episode was a great way to end off this year. Dilani, though she had a very similar upbringing to my own, had a totally different perspective on life and it was a breath of fresh air to focus on the positive and be reminded to do so in this episode. Find more from Dilani!Follow her on Instagram here.   Keep up with her work for Viewfinder Film Productions here.

It's been a while Honeys! Two solo episodes in a row? Who am I?!I had a few reflections after coming back from my trip so this is more of a audio journal of things I learned not only about myself but about my parents while on vacation. When I came back from vacation I had quite a few people messaging me and telling me in person they were surprised that I went away with my parents and actually didn't pull my hair out? I was actually surprised myself but in a good way! This trip really made me see my parents and their relationship in a different light. I was able to appreciate them a little more and I even felt like I understood them a bit better.If you've ever felt like the child that needs to be the mediator or the third parent, you'll resonate with this episode. Maybe it's an eldest daughter thing?? Maybe not. Overall I realized all them years of therapy have worked! Want more Honey Lemon?Follow us on IG @thehoneylemonpodThis podcasts features music created by Mod8rn Sounds.Don't forget to rate, review, subscribe and do all those lovely wonderful things if you want to support the pod and support me!

Hey everyone!  Thanks for tuning in and being patient with me.  I was actually supposed to release a solo episode last week but my family suffered a very sudden loss. My cousin Delicia passed on from this world at a whopping 22 years of age. I talked a little bit about it at the beginning of this episode and it's a strange but poetic coincidence that this week's episode is very much centered around grief and how sometimes beautiful things can come out of that space with time.   My cousin was an amazing person and this episode is dedicated to her.  If you want to learn more about her story you can do so here.  As an accomplished singer and musician it is her family's wish to set up a scholarship in her name.  If you feel so moved to contribute it would mean the world. Now to introduce this week's guest! Taegan Maclean is a Writer/filmmaker exploring his life and the world around him one word at a time.  He created his deeply personal and insightful newsletter titled One Word  in 2022 and he took on the ambitious task of adapting it into a monthly video docuseries format this year. I think his story really shows what can happen when you are truly aligned with a passion project and lean into your most vulnerable self.  Grief is a difficult thing and we all get through it differently.  Taegan was open about his struggles grieving the loss of his father which ultimately shaped the creator he is today.Find Taegan's One Word  Newsletter featuring his full collection of written pieces and his video series here.  His latest documentary titled Woodbine, is a beautiful love letter of sorts to his father and I encourage you all to grab a hot beverage and take it in!  Find One Word on Tiktok here.Find One Word on Youtube here.Want more Honey Lemon?Follow us on IG @thehoneylemonpodThis podcasts features music created by Mod8rn Sounds.Don't forget to rate, review, subscribe and do all those lovely wonderful things if you want to support the pod and support me!

Shots! Shots! Shots! Back again with a solo ep.  This episode is more of a gab sesh.  I dive a little deeper into my healing journey, what sparked it and how it affected other aspects of my life. Have you ever heard of the Saturn return?  Well I also explain what that is and why it's important when it comes to levelling up your cosmic self.Do you ever feel like you healed too much and now you don''t like anybody?!  Cz same.  Not really... but yes kinda.  Healing can be isolating because you are literally shedding the person you used to be and becoming someone new.  New habits, new ways of thinking, new priorities and that can be tough when your environment hasn't necessarily changed.  Anyways, I get into it it all... not sure if it makes sense but we are trying not to overthink this week.  Want more Honey Lemon?Follow us on IG @thehoneylemonpodThis podcasts features music created by Mod8rn Sounds.Don't forget to rate, review, subscribe and do all those lovely wonderful things if you want to support the pod and support me!
