Ep. 29 | Because shame can't live in the light [RE-release]
Hello from a cozy, rainy Quito! I've revisited my 2021 episode, finally feeling brave enough to connect with it. But before we dive in, let's catch up. Get ready for a wild, beautiful, and vulnerable ride.
Ep. 16 | it's rant time on: manifesting my social life, but not really, and is my relationship status enough?
this one needs no description, just listen.
....Ep. 15 | I'm not trying to be more consistent, I'm simply trying to listen more. ..No estoy tratando de ser más consistente, estoy tratando de escuchar más. ....
….I am constantly learning to trust life a little bit more, and the quotes I shared in the episode really shook me so I thought I NEEDED to share them. So yeah, I’m trying more than ever to trust life, to trust myself, to bet on myself, and to listen, to myself and my creative heart. ..Constantemente aprendo a confiar un poco más en la vida, y las citas que les compartí en el episodio realmente me conmovieron, así que dije que NECESITABA compartirlas. Entonces sí, estoy tratando más que nunca de confiar en la vida, confiar en mí misma, apostar por mí misma y escucharme a mí misma y a mi corazón creativo. ….
....Ep. 13 | Broken Crayons Can Still Color. ..Ep. 13 Los crayones rotos todavía pintan. ....
….It’s been a minute since I shared a life update, I’ve learned a lot this past couple of months and have a lot to share, well and a lot of tangents to go on, teehee. ..Ha sido un ratito desde la última vez que les dí un update de la vida, y es de esas conversaciones que he querido tener, y bueno nos vamos por la tangente, full, jeje. ….
....Ep.11 | Why do birds sing? ..Ep.11 | Porqué cantan los pájaros? ....
….Another off-tangent vulnerable rant. ..Otra conversación vulnerable y obvio me voy por la tangente. ….
....Ep.06 | @itsallaboutestefi: a journey of self healing through my instagram account. ..Ep.06 | @itsallaboutestefi: un viaje de autocuración a través de mi cuenta de instagram. ....
….My story, a journey through instagram captions, curating a space filled with body neutrality, mental health awareness, a place to start unpacking trauma, healing to move forward and forgiving myself. ..Mi historia, un viaje a través de los captions de Instagram, curando un espacio lleno de neutralidad corporal, conciencia sobre la salud mental, un lugar para comenzar a desempacar el trauma, curarme para seguir adelante y perdonarme a mí misma. ….
Why did we create TakeThree Talks?
Having a podcast has always been a dream of mine. Hi, it’s Estefi again. Here’s why we created the podcast: In late 2020, Meijun and I were approaching burnout at an unsustainable pace. Meijun was focused on finishing projects, watching Netflix, and playing video games. I felt a persistent urge to share, connect, and do more than graphic design. I'd been an avid podcast listener since 2016, appreciating its intimacy and vulnerability. Creating this podcast wasn't about ego; it was about healing, expressing myself, and feeling worthy and connected.
Another reason for the podcast was to stop constantly retelling our story. Starting couples therapy during the burnout phase made me realize I was tired of recounting our past to new people or friends. I wanted to share our story in detail over the first three episodes, and then move forward.
Creating TakeThree Talks wasn't an easy decision. I struggled with doubts about my talent and the perception of our relationship. Editing was particularly challenging; I'd edit out uncomfortable parts, only to feel inauthentic later. Eventually, I decided to stop editing episodes with Meijun, which helped me feel more authentic.
These episodes are an invitation to get to know me, us, and others we meet. They're filled with nuance, tenacity, and vulnerability, touching on mental health and personal struggles. Expect off-tangent conversations that will make you laugh, feel, and ponder. At least one or two episodes will likely leave you feeling existential.
With love,
