WEBVTT 00:00:00.010 --> 00:00:03.089 Are you feeling lost? Well, you've come to the 00:00:03.089 --> 00:00:06.650 right place. Welcome to Lostish, where we, Rose 00:00:06.650 --> 00:00:09.349 Chachko and Emanuella Kathreptakis share what it's 00:00:09.349 --> 00:00:12.169 really like navigating your 20s. We're two semi 00:00:12.169 --> 00:00:14.609 -lost girls figuring out careers, relationships, 00:00:15.070 --> 00:00:16.789 wellness, purpose and everything in between. 00:00:17.269 --> 00:00:19.929 Each week we dive into the highs, the lows and 00:00:19.929 --> 00:00:22.269 the lessons of chasing your dreams, finding happiness 00:00:22.269 --> 00:00:24.870 and learning to embrace the uncertainty. We're 00:00:24.870 --> 00:00:26.710 not here to pretend like we've got it all together. 00:00:26.969 --> 00:00:49.100 We're simply just figuring it out with you. And 00:00:49.100 --> 00:00:51.140 it's finally come to fruition. It has. I think 00:00:51.140 --> 00:00:53.420 what we should start off by saying is like, we're 00:00:53.420 --> 00:00:56.600 just two ordinary girls. Yep, no influences. 00:00:57.200 --> 00:00:59.579 We don't have a following on Instagram. We're 00:00:59.579 --> 00:01:03.570 just literally kind of lost. We're lost. We're 00:01:03.570 --> 00:01:05.870 lost, hence why we're here today making this 00:01:05.870 --> 00:01:09.569 podcast. Yeah, so why did we decide to do this? 00:01:10.129 --> 00:01:13.209 Well, Rose and I met four years back. Four years 00:01:13.209 --> 00:01:15.689 back. Day one of university and we're about to 00:01:15.689 --> 00:01:18.370 graduate with our bachelor's in media and communications. 00:01:19.189 --> 00:01:22.890 Which kind of means nothing. Yeah. And the reason 00:01:22.890 --> 00:01:26.680 we say that is because... We recently came to 00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:29.659 an epiphany that we're coming so close to the 00:01:29.659 --> 00:01:32.079 end of university which should be this like eye 00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:34.359 -opening, wow I know exactly what I'm gonna do, 00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:37.579 we're like in our early 20s, just graduating, 00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:40.579 we've got that paper in our hands, but we don't. 00:01:40.579 --> 00:01:42.780 But like what now? What now? We really don't. 00:01:42.780 --> 00:01:45.120 What do we do with this piece of paper? We're 00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:47.340 genuinely so confused and we had this conversation, 00:01:47.420 --> 00:01:50.900 we were like, we were actually... in Fiji doing 00:01:50.900 --> 00:01:54.180 a volunteering program which was amazing and 00:01:54.180 --> 00:01:56.700 we were sitting in the pool right after volunteering 00:01:56.700 --> 00:01:59.180 at one of the schools and we were like what the 00:01:59.180 --> 00:02:02.299 hell are we doing with our lives? We are exactly 00:02:02.299 --> 00:02:04.299 where it's supposed to be right now in a pool 00:02:04.299 --> 00:02:08.060 in Fiji Should we change our career path? Like 00:02:08.060 --> 00:02:09.620 what do we want to do? We're coming so close 00:02:09.620 --> 00:02:11.759 to the end of university and I think we very 00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:14.460 quickly realized that it's a very very universal 00:02:14.460 --> 00:02:16.960 experience. Oh for sure anyone that you talk 00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:19.800 to is like I don't know what I'm doing even the 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:22.419 most successful people like I have a lot of friends 00:02:22.419 --> 00:02:25.960 who are very very successful and they're still 00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:28.439 so confused in life and they're still like yeah 00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:31.000 I've got this and I've got a beautiful relationship 00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:33.939 and I've got you know money and I'm doing my 00:02:33.939 --> 00:02:36.240 dream job, but I still don't know if you hear 00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:38.759 from everyone though even celebrities even anyone 00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:41.740 actually a Tate McCrae interview that I watched 00:02:41.740 --> 00:02:45.840 of her saying that one of her songs was inspired 00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:47.780 by a conversation that she actually had with 00:02:47.780 --> 00:02:51.340 her dad okay about how she literally doesn't 00:02:51.340 --> 00:02:53.319 understand how people can go their whole life 00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:56.460 not fulfilling their dreams and I was like That's 00:02:56.460 --> 00:02:58.780 wild. That was another epiphany moment that I 00:02:58.780 --> 00:03:01.840 had that wanted me to start this podcast. It's 00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.000 actually just one of my fears really is I get 00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:07.340 to the end of my life and I haven't done what 00:03:07.340 --> 00:03:10.740 I want to do. And even if I don't know what I 00:03:10.740 --> 00:03:14.219 want to do, I'd hope I'd figure it out by the 00:03:14.219 --> 00:03:18.199 end of my life, which is a long way away, hopefully. 00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:22.500 yeah so i guess the name lostish came from this 00:03:22.500 --> 00:03:24.520 exact feeling that we're having right now is 00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:26.819 kind of kind of being lost like having a sense 00:03:26.819 --> 00:03:29.379 of direction being able to get through life if 00:03:29.379 --> 00:03:31.520 we didn't even pursue our dreams we could stick 00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:33.979 around in the jobs we had now our dead -end jobs 00:03:33.979 --> 00:03:36.639 you know going around in all these circles and 00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:38.659 we'd probably end up you know living the life 00:03:38.659 --> 00:03:41.500 that a lot of people end up living um but we 00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:44.800 didn't want to do that so we decided to call 00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:47.300 it lost -ish because we're kind of lost that's 00:03:47.300 --> 00:03:50.280 where the name came from and the reason why like 00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:53.539 we wanted to do this was not only to help people 00:03:53.539 --> 00:03:56.699 around us like honestly if anyone listens to 00:03:56.699 --> 00:03:59.379 this if one person listens to this and gets something 00:03:59.379 --> 00:04:02.060 out of it that's all we can ask and it sounds 00:04:02.060 --> 00:04:05.139 very cliche but it's genuinely very very true 00:04:05.139 --> 00:04:07.539 we're doing this as a journey to help ourselves 00:04:07.539 --> 00:04:10.250 and to help everyone who listens in the podcast 00:04:10.250 --> 00:04:12.530 yeah in the process and you know it could be 00:04:12.530 --> 00:04:14.389 for people in their 20s it could be for people 00:04:14.389 --> 00:04:16.490 in their 30s if people in their 40s listen to 00:04:16.490 --> 00:04:19.970 this like great like this is something that can 00:04:19.970 --> 00:04:23.689 help everybody and it can help us as well yeah 00:04:23.689 --> 00:04:25.430 so we're really really excited and obviously 00:04:25.430 --> 00:04:28.389 this is the first episode so it's just a little 00:04:28.389 --> 00:04:31.750 trailer just a little introduction where we're 00:04:31.750 --> 00:04:35.310 going to cover some topics such as we're going 00:04:35.310 --> 00:04:38.529 to talk about relationships wellness mental health 00:04:38.529 --> 00:04:42.149 happiness finding your path ditching the script 00:04:42.149 --> 00:04:45.069 and just going what with what you're you what 00:04:45.069 --> 00:04:47.430 you want to do in life yeah we definitely hope 00:04:47.430 --> 00:04:51.240 we can spark some inspiration for you guys and 00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:53.899 we thought that we would be sort of a good example 00:04:53.899 --> 00:04:56.360 because we have very different, we've experienced 00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:58.220 very different things in our lives but I think 00:04:58.220 --> 00:05:00.300 in combination it's a very powerful thing to 00:05:00.300 --> 00:05:03.329 bring together and hopefully we can. be of inspiration 00:05:03.329 --> 00:05:06.670 to some people. And I think that also ties into 00:05:06.670 --> 00:05:10.949 why we chose our podcast photo. Why did we choose 00:05:10.949 --> 00:05:14.029 our podcast photo, Manuela? Well, I'm happy to 00:05:14.029 --> 00:05:18.129 answer. It was my idea. So we were picking between 00:05:18.129 --> 00:05:21.170 so many different photos and we thought, oh, 00:05:21.170 --> 00:05:22.870 what are we going to go for? Do we want to go 00:05:22.870 --> 00:05:25.170 for the like more like striking, close facial 00:05:25.170 --> 00:05:27.970 expressions, like in your face kind of thing? 00:05:27.970 --> 00:05:30.509 And we know it's not the most serious thing about 00:05:30.509 --> 00:05:33.759 this. However, We are perfectionists. And this 00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:36.420 was something that we had asked quite a few people 00:05:36.420 --> 00:05:39.199 before and then came to the realization that 00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:42.360 why did we choose the latter? Well we thought 00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:45.560 okay first of all I don't think and I may be 00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:47.180 completely wrong maybe I'm not looking at the 00:05:47.180 --> 00:05:49.980 right podcasts but I have not seen a podcast 00:05:49.980 --> 00:05:53.240 with a ladder on it and I thought okay it can 00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:56.160 be something that distinguishes us a little bit 00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:59.800 from the rest Because that ladder is kind of 00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:02.139 to symbolize we wanted to symbolize we wanted 00:06:02.139 --> 00:06:05.540 to be a motif of kind of Like growth and and 00:06:05.540 --> 00:06:08.180 leading going up starting from the bottom getting 00:06:08.180 --> 00:06:11.379 to the top and we thought okay And all the steps 00:06:11.379 --> 00:06:13.040 along the way all the steps along the way. It's 00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:16.220 a no -brainer, but Because our thing was like 00:06:16.220 --> 00:06:19.319 lost kind of lost each we were like we still 00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:21.899 we're still powerful We still know what we're 00:06:21.899 --> 00:06:25.829 doing. Yeah, partially. We still you know are 00:06:25.829 --> 00:06:27.970 taking the steps to get there, which is why the 00:06:27.970 --> 00:06:31.410 outfits were what they are. You got that contrast. 00:06:31.490 --> 00:06:33.509 You got that, you know, corporate girlies, but 00:06:33.509 --> 00:06:35.589 on a ladder with a red background, which kind 00:06:35.589 --> 00:06:38.689 of makes it playful. Anyway, enough about the 00:06:38.689 --> 00:06:42.410 podcast photo. We are so excited to start this. 00:06:42.430 --> 00:06:44.790 Like we genuinely are. We're going to have... 00:06:44.790 --> 00:06:47.410 We were so nervous. We actually were. We were 00:06:47.410 --> 00:06:49.410 like, oh my God, like I feel like I'm about to 00:06:49.410 --> 00:06:52.569 perform in front of an audience. But no, it's 00:06:52.569 --> 00:06:55.490 literally just us on this couch. No one around. 00:06:55.490 --> 00:06:57.689 We're in an empty space in an empty room with 00:06:57.689 --> 00:07:00.939 like two lights. We just wanted to make it super 00:07:00.939 --> 00:07:03.939 cash and we want you guys to go on this journey 00:07:03.939 --> 00:07:06.540 with us and we can kind of all help each other. 00:07:06.819 --> 00:07:08.639 I also want to mention that we're going to have 00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:11.920 some really amazing guests on the podcast, some 00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:14.379 familiar faces that you may know as well. And 00:07:14.379 --> 00:07:16.959 hopefully that'll grow along the way. Yep. Yep. 00:07:17.339 --> 00:07:19.439 Absolutely. And then, you know, who knows where 00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:21.899 it could go from there? Who knows? We're just 00:07:21.899 --> 00:07:23.680 doing this because we want to and we love it. 00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:26.459 And if this could help one person or if one person 00:07:26.459 --> 00:07:29.519 sees this and goes, I actually need this and 00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:31.699 I really, really resonate with what you guys 00:07:31.699 --> 00:07:35.639 are saying. We've done our job. Yeah. Fully agree 00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:39.199 with you. Fully agree. Well, I'm excited. Yeah. 00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:43.060 Well, stay tuned. Stay tuned. For more episodes 00:07:43.060 --> 00:07:43.779 of Lost Ish.
