A show about creativity, change, and the tender chaos of being human. Hi friends, I’m Estefi, your host. Join me on verbal escapades filled with curiously curated questions and off-tangent conversations rooted in real life. Sometimes, I’m joined by Meijun — my partner of 10 years and best friend for over 14 — as we navigate the nitty gritty of running a creative business while sharing a home, a vision, and caring for our Korean rescue pup-child, Guillermo. TakeThree Talks began as a space to share personal reflections during a season of reinvention and creative experimentation. Season 1 opens with stories of identity, creative growth, and becoming the humans behind TakeThree. Through journal entries, voice notes, and quiet revelations, we share what it’s been like to build a creative life — together. Season 2: The Travel Season — we take you elsewhere, literally. From silent meditation retreats in Chiang Mai to elephant sanctuaries, Japanese art islands, street food in China, and temple-hopping in Bangkok, we explore the stories, surprises, and soft culture shocks that come with long-term travel.

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,
No rides. No bathing. No gimmicks. 3-day stay at Kindred Spirit Elephant Sanctuary. Real conservation work, mountain hikes, and a deep connection to the land, the elephants, and the Karen community.
