HI FRIENDS 🎙️
Welcome to TakeThree Talks
Hi friends, I'm Estefi and I'll be your host, in this podcast you will join me on my verbal escapades filled with curiously curated questions and vulnerable off-tangent conversations.
Ep.09 | @takethreestudio: our first born.
People are constantly confused about who we are and what we do, and we decided to make this into our communication strategy, so here’s a podcast where we confess a few more details about who we are and what we do.
Ep.07 | @meijuncai: the man born with all the ice breakers.
I wanted all of you to get to know Meijun a tiny bit better! I want you to know why I think he is the man born with all the ice-breakers and I ask him 11 questions so we really get to know him. Of course, this episode is full of off-tangent conversations! Enjoy <3
Ep.06 | @itsallaboutestefi: a journey of self healing through my instagram account.
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.
Ep.04 | We need couples therapy, does that make us a bad couple?
We’ve been dating for 6 years now and we realized we needed an extra set of hands, asking for help is a sign of strength. We responded 17 questions about couple’s therapy and spilled all the vulnerable tea we could.

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,
In today's episode, we candidly discuss co-creating, facing fears, trust, roles, boundaries, and communication. We also share advice for those thinking about starting a new hobby, stream of income, or changing their career.
