Find Someone Who

Who gets to be seen—and who holds back?
From speakeasy stages to classroom “performances,” this episode dives into the courage it takes to show up.

What happens when you walk into a room… and suddenly realize you’re the only one who looks like you?

In this episode, Annie shares her experience attending a speakeasy-style storytelling event—only to find herself as the only person of colour in the room. That moment sparks a deeper conversation between Annie and Lilah: What exactly is a “speakeasy” event today? Why do people sign up to stand on stage and tell their stories? And why does that idea feel so uncomfortable… even for us?

We explore the psychology behind “putting yourself out there,” and unpack the cultural differences between Asian and North American perspectives on visibility, confidence, and self-expression. As instructors—people who perform in front of others every day—we reflect on the surprising truth: even we hesitate to take the stage.

So… what does it really mean to be seen?

誰能被看見？誰選擇退後？
從 speakeasy 到教室現場，我們談勇氣，也談文化。
當你走進一個空間，突然發現自己是現場唯一一個「看起來不一樣的人」時，會是什麼感覺？
在這一集中，Annie 分享了她參加一場類似地下酒吧（speakeasy）形式的說故事活動的經驗，卻發現自己是現場唯一的有色人種。這個瞬間，開啟了她和 Lilah 之間一場更深入的對話：現代的「speakeasy」活動到底是什麼？為什麼有人願意主動站上台分享自己的故事？而為什麼這件事，對我們來說卻如此困難？
我們一起探討「展現自我」背後的心理動機，也聊到亞洲與北美文化在「表現自己」、「被看見」這件事上的差異。身為每天都在教學、某種程度上需要「表演」的老師，我們也誠實面對一個矛盾：即使如此，我們依然對上台感到猶豫。
那麼，被看見，究竟意味著什麼？

What does it take to cross the street in Southeast Asia? According to Lilah… nerves of steel and a solid survival strategy 😄
In this episode, Lilah shares eye-opening (and slightly terrifying) stories from her travels in Vietnam and Thailand, where traffic rules feel more like… suggestions. She breaks down how drivers and pedestrians actually negotiate the road—and the unexpected “skills” she developed just to make it across the street safely.
Then, Lilah and Annie bring it back home to Vancouver, where traffic comes with its own quirks: questionable parking jobs, infamous potholes, and the everyday challenges of getting from point A to point B.
From cultural comparisons to chaotic crosswalks, this episode is packed with relatable moments, laughs, and a fresh perspective on something we all deal with—traffic.
As always… hilarity ensued.
在東南亞過馬路需要什麼？根據 Lilah 的說法——膽量、技巧，還有一點點「生存本能」😄
在這一集裡，Lilah 分享了她在越南和泰國旅行時既驚險又有趣的交通體驗。在那裡，交通規則有時更像是「參考用」，駕駛和行人之間彷彿在進行一場默契十足的「路上協商」。她也聊到自己為了安全過馬路，慢慢培養出的各種「生存技能」。
接著，Lilah 和 Annie 把話題帶回 溫哥華，聊聊當地的交通日常：讓人傻眼的停車技術、無所不在的坑洞（potholes），以及每天通勤時的各種小挑戰。
從文化差異到街頭觀察，這一集充滿共鳴與笑點，也帶來對「交通」這件日常小事的全新視角。
當然，笑聲依舊不斷。

We’re back!
After a refreshing spring break, Annie and Lilah reunite to kick off Season 3 by catching up on everything that happened while we were away.
Lilah takes us along on her incredible journey through Thailand and Vietnam—sharing highlights, surprises, and a few moments that didn’t quite go as planned. From vibrant street scenes to the discovery of a new self-care routine, her trip is full of stories you won’t want to miss.
Meanwhile, Annie stepped into a different kind of classroom experience during the break, teaching in a more conversational, less academic English program. She reflects on what it was like to shift gears, connect with students in new ways, and rethink what language learning can look like outside a traditional setting.
It’s a relaxed, story-filled episode to ease back into the season—full of travel tales, teaching insights, and the kind of honest conversation you’d expect from us.
🎧 Tune in and start Season 3 with us!
我們回來啦！在一個充實又放鬆的春假之後，Annie 和 Lilah 再次相聚，一起為第三季揭開序幕，聊聊這段時間各自的精彩經歷。
Lilah 帶我們走進她的泰國與越南之旅，分享旅途中難忘的亮點、文化衝擊，還有一些不太按計畫進行的小插曲。從熱鬧的街頭到深刻的文化體驗，這趟旅程充滿故事，絕對值得一聽。
而 Annie 則在春假期間進入了一個不同型態的英語教學環境——一個更著重口語交流、較少學術壓力的課程。她分享了這段教學經驗帶來的轉變與反思，也重新思考語言學習在不同情境下的可能性。
這是一集輕鬆又充滿故事感的回歸集，陪你一起慢慢進入新一季的節奏。旅遊、教學、還有我們一貫真誠的對話，都在這一集裡。
🎧 一起收聽，和我們展開第三季吧！

We can’t believe it — it’s been ONE year! 🥳
