my secrets to passing 95% of job interviews 🤫
OK, it's time to reveal some of my secrets. Somehow, I've managed to land most of the jobs I've applied for and in this episode, I dissect why I think that is the case and how you might be able to apply some of my learnings in your future job interviews to get the offer. I'm a product manager in tech and have landed roles in places like Atlassian, Google, McKinsey and Canva. I am a
I felt like I lost a part of myself... | elian & davo
This is a pretty personal episode and not one I'm happy to be in the position to create. Last year, I tore 3 of my 4 knee ligaments in a skiing accident, derailing a lot of my hopes and plans for my year before 30. At the same time, I had friends going through very similar situations. 6 months before me, Davo ruptured his achilles playing badminton. About 3 months after me, Elian tore his acl and
should you quit your job? 🤔
The great millennial crisis. Quit your 9-5. Romanticise your life. Chase your dreams. Content these days central heavily around themes of self-discovery and quitting our jobs to do what we love. But should YOU quit your job? In this episode, I talk about my experiences with quitting my job, different case studies of content creators leaving corporate, frameworks to help you make your decision and
The risks of starting a business with a friend | Tash @sonderandstories
Last year, Tash and I took a big leap in our friendship...and started a business together! Now, are we still even friends? In this episode, we reflect on the journey of Sonder & Stories (a curated wedding book for couples) and our partnership, sharing what we've learned from the highs and the lows. We take an audit on our partnership so far and reveal things that we hadn't spoken about to each
If you're burnt out, you need to hear this ☹️
Feeling burnt out at work? In your mid to late 20s? Yeah, same. In my funemployment break, I took some time to reflect on how I was feeling in my career and how I could prolong a refreshed, hopeful mind once I re-enter the workforce. It can feel quite spoilt or privileged to talk about burn out, in a time where people are just trying to survive, get a job and earn a living. I'm thankful my experie
How to build a brand | @sammyrubiejane
I'm back with a topic I've been very interested in, and with one of the best girls to speak about it to! I brought Sam on this episode so we could talk about creativity, building a brand (both personal and business), developing your own style and vision and more. These topics are not just relevant in the workplace but also in your lives - wherever it is you show up. I was excited to learn about ho
The FULL review of Singles Inferno S5 | cam & tash
Singles Inferno S5 has concluded and we're still being FED with reunion episodes and social media updates. A couple of years ago, I brought in Cam & Tash to recap Singles Inferno S2 - can you believe it has been that long?? Today, I brought the band back together to go through our thoughts and opinions on Season 5, which has been the JUICIEST yet, thanks to a certain someone ahem, mina-sue. We
Are you a girl's girl or a guy's girl? | lucy and ash
I'm so excited about this episode - today, I brought in Lucy and Ash to talk about the difference between girl's girls and guy's girls. We went DEEP into some of the topics surrounding friendship, particularly between genders, and I learnt how girl's girls would react to several hypothetical scenarios pulled from Love Island! In this episode, we talk girl groups, loyalty, pick me&#
30 things I want to do by 30
Following up from last episode, we're kicking off the new year with a brand new Bliss Bakery episode. I wasn't going to do new years resolutions this year but then I got thinking, and I decided it wouldn't hurt. In this episode, I talk about the ideas of setting goals and alternative frameworks, why putting what you want out there isn't the worst idea and my illogical fear of turning 30. What are
7 questions to ask yourself before 2026
What a year. 2025 came with highs and lows, and many key life milestones. It's incredible to recap on what happened this year and use this framework of 7 very insightful questions to help guide your reflection for 2025. What were you most proud of? What gave you energy? What do you need to do less of? Listen along as I reflect on my year and guide you to do the same for yours, so we can be more aw
I'm an overachiever who's achieved nothing.
I've lived my whole life as an overachiever with perfectionist tendencies, and recently I've been coming to terms with what that means for when I'm not achieving anything. It's been tough on my mental health recently and reflecting on my journey to date has forced me to face what I've actually been doing with my life up till now. The short story is I'm not very happy with it. The long story...well
Moving overseas in your 20s | kyla
Hello! I'm back with a great episode with Kyla on her move to London for a year. Lots of my friends are in their work abroad phase, with people all around the world: in London, New York, Canada etc. I chatted to Kyla to break down her experience, how she made it happen and what it's actually like to live and work overseas. This is a must-watch for anyone considering doing something like this in yo
should you live with friends? | cam & lucas

We have a candid chat on what its been like living together, what we've learnt about each other and how weird is it to be living with your landlords. Find out at the end if this experience has broken the friendship or made it stronger! For business or collaboration enquiries, reach out at: heylinni@gmail.com DM or follow me
the realisations of ageing 🙀
I can't believe it's October already - it literally felt like January just a few months ago. 2024 has passed in a flash and as we get to the end of the year, I reflect on how quickly time is passing and some of my anxiety on getting older and what that means physically and mentally. I'm sure a lot of you can relate to this episode. I'd love to hear your thoughts on whether you relate or how you ha
who the f*ck am i?
Hey...feeling lost? Same here... In today's episode, I needed a yapper therapy session, so I'm airing my deepest, rawest thoughts to you all on how I've been feeling about life, content creation, my identity and more. Come join me and spiral together. I'd love to hear if you're thinking about the same things, or how you've navigated life to "find yourself". Leave in the comments and let's continue
career changes in your mid-20s | @lifewithjinjin
It's that time where everyone is either moving overseas or changing their career. When you're in your late-20s, you start getting the itch to understand what it is you're doing and why you're doing it...and is it what you want to be doing for the rest of your life? I caught up with JinJin who had that itch, after having been in audit for a few years post-grad and then decided to quit her job witho
making your side hustle your MAIN hustle | @heyfionawang
At some point or another, we all dream about starting a side business - being our own boss, building something we're passionate about, getting out of the corporate rat race. Well, that is exactly what Fiona did. Multiple times! In this episode, I chat to Fiona, the queen of side hustles, and her journey across various ventures in social media, fluid art, building communities, agency and more. It's
should I take a sabbatical in my 20s? | jenny chu
Gear up for a cracker of an episode. Remember how I talked to Jenny a little while back about Ego is the Enemy? She was planning to go on a 1 year sabbatical at the time. Well I caught up with Jenny again AFTER her sabbatical and we talked about what she’s been up to, as well as how you might plan your own sabbatical, things to think about and her biggest learnings from the experience.🌻 If you enj
skincare secrets from a MECCA expert | lucy
As we shift into our late twenties (eek), skincare and beauty is something I've been taking more time to understand. What I quickly realised was that it wasn't so simple as cleanser, moisturiser and that's it. There's a whole world of different skincare products out there (11 step skincare routines!!) and I quickly got lost in it all. What's serum for? Do I need exfoliator? How often do I apply al
the great tech depression | tash
AND WE'RE BACK! Welcome to Season 3 of The Bliss Bakery. I know it's been a while and I'm going to be releasing episodes every FORTNIGHT, instead of weekly now, given an extra busy schedule at the moment since I started a new job. This episode was recorded with Tash a little while back, where we discussed the state of the tech industry following the golden years during covid. Since the boom, there
managing the grief of losing a loved one | lucy
Last episode of Season 2 of The Bliss Bakery! This one is super special and vulnerable as my good friend Lucy shares about her experience in losing a loved one and how she dealt with the aftermath to recover from the grief. I think this is so close to all our hearts because it is a fundamental life experience that is going to happen to everyone at some point. This shared experience is one we hardl
are we really strangers? | sam & tash
Hello hello, we're coming to the final episodes of Season 2 of The Bliss Bakery. Today, I want to help you get to know me and my friends on a deeper level, and as we get to know each other! We're playing a game called "Are we really strangers?", which is a card game with deep and personal prompts to learn more about how each of us think and our life philosophies. So much interesting conversation a
our experiences traveling for work | lucas
Hooray, it's a Lucas episode! If you recall, Lucas is my boyfriend of almost 8 years and in the past year, he's had a new job where he's travelling...a LOT. Like, almost every alternate week. This has changed the dynamic of our relationship and created new norms to get used to. It's pushed us both out of our comfort zones, as he tries to adjust to a constant travel mode and I adjust to being more
leading as a woman in business | @amzguo_ @her.seat
There are so many interesting facets about being part of diverse, minority groups - asian, young female in male-dominated industries like tech or in my guest Amy's case: the wine industry. I was super excited to have Amy join me in a conversation dissecting how our unconscious bias may affect how we behave in our careers, as females in leadership positions, despite still being early in our careers
Re-living our best travel experiences (Seoul recommendations!) | @rachfeeds
The last few episodes have been a bit heavy, so I've invited Rachel to join me today in a light and hilarious episode as we recap on our super fun time going to Seoul, Korea last year together! We travelled as just the two of us and managed to not get into any fights for 2.5 weeks, so we've got some good tips in this episode for that. But also, we just talk about the best places we went, travel re
tough times never last | davo
Tough times never last, only tough people do...brugbeiufiwbe. We all go through some tough times in our lives and overcoming adversity is just something everyone needs to experience to grow. But rather than being resilient, its even more powerful to be antifragile - a concept where as stress is applied, we become stronger from it. In this episode, I chat with Davo, a long-time friend from uni abou
Going through my quarter life crisis | vicky & elian
This year I turned 26 and I feel like I can no longer say I'm in my early twenties era anymore. I'm closer to 30 than I am 20 and that's just a little bit scary. Time somehow feels faster than ever and each birthday comes along quicker than the year before. With this comes the uneasy feeling of a quarter life crisis and plenty of existential questions like, "what am I doing with my life?", "what i
making social media your career | @martinaliang
Did you know that in today's age, 25% of kids in the US aspire to be social media influencers? The new age of social media and viability to make "influencing" into a sustainable career has skyrocketed. Especially since COVID, the number of content creators has grown with people discovering new and creative ways to share their passion, entertain and make a living right from their bedrooms. In this
ego is the enemy | jenny chu
To be somebody, or to do something. That is a question we all struggle with in our young adult lives. Do we want to chase the clout, be recognised amongst our peers? Or are we happier doing the things that we're truly passionate about, even if no one else cares? In today's episode, I bring in Jenny to chat about this interesting dilemma. Jenny and I worked together as grads before she left to lead
The reality of cancer | elaine m
Ohoho HELLO! The Bliss Bakery is BACK for Season 2 and kicking it off with a fascinating conversation to introduce you to a brand, new season of interesting topics, new guests (and some old faces) and crispier sound quality.

Singles Inferno S2: an entire recap and review of the series
OMG. SINGLES INFERNO S2. Were you watching it as avidly as we did every week? For 5 weeks, I was waiting for every Tuesday to watch the next 2 juicy episodes of Singles Inferno. Was Seulki going to end up with Jinyoung or Jongwoo? Was Soe going to get over YoongJae? Would Sejeong ever make it to paradise?? Now that the series is over and we have some answers, I sat down with my friends, Tash and C

Modern day dating | nicolle, rach & davo
Last episode of Season 1 of the Bliss Bakery and of course, I couldn’t do a season without talking about one of our favourite subjects - Modern day dating! Whilst I’ve been in a relationship for a long time now, I’ve brought in my crew of experts who can share the chaos and excitement of life in the dating world. In this episode I bring in the crew, Davo, Nicolle and Rach to share about their diff
The things they don't tell you about moving out | elian & vicky
When we're kids and we think about moving out of home, we dream about the parties, the freedom, the new recipes and no curfew. What we DON'T really think about is the increased responsibility, bills, rent, chores and more. This was definitely my experience moving out and whilst it has helped me become more independent along the way, it hasn't been a smooth ride to gaining that independence. In thi

maintaining balance in relationships | lucas
I've been in a relationship for 7 years with my boyfriend and we've learned so much along the way in terms of finding balance. It's important when you get into a romantic relationship that you don't lose yourself to it. We need to learn how to maintain our own individualism whilst sharing a life with the other person. How do we keep this balance? In this episode I bring in my best friend and boyfr
alone but not lonely
Feeling alone is a fundamentally human experience. At some point in our lives, we all have to experience what it is like to be lonely - and what's important is how we perceive that loneliness. Recently, I've been put in more of these situations and I wanted to reflect in this episode on the feeling of loneliness, why we feel lonely, whether it's a bad or a good thing and how I'm learning to handle
toxic friendships | lucia
We've all had a toxic friendship before - one where you feel yucky being in it but something keeps pulling you back. Friendships are a core part to life but also one of the most confusing things, in my opinion. How do you make friends? How do you keep it healthy? How do you know when to break up with a friend? In this episode I bring in my extroverted friend Lucia Tse, to talk about her experience
introverts at work | jane
My name is Rachel and I am an introvert. I knew I was an introvert from an early age, when my teachers would describe me as "reserved". But for the longest time, I believed this world was created for extroverts. It almost feels like you need to be an extrovert in order to be successful. It's not about what you know, but who you know... When I landed in my role as a product manager, this feeling on
is high school the best time of your life? | vicky
High school is the best time in our lives...heard that before? There's something about your high school years, where you're young and naive, un-jaded by the world yet. Life is carefree, you have virtually no responsibilities, you're surrounded by mates all the time and the only worries you're having are doing well in exams and friendship group drama. I had a pretty great time in high school and in
getting to work-life balance | renee
In your 20s, work becomes such a huge part of your life. We start our jobs, eager to please and ready to learn. We're striving to kick off our fruitful careers, grind hard in those early years and accelerate our journeys. It is so easy to feel like work consumes your life. The reality is, a lot of our cohort burns out from the stress, anxiety and demands of figuring out how to do work sustainably.
Hello world, this is me 👋

I am a product manager in the tech industry by day, content creator outside of work.
