In this week's episode, I talk about the trend that has been blowing up everywhere (esp TikTok) and that is the THAT GIRL trend. Personally, I can appreciate why people find it inspiring and motivating, but I also wanted to discuss why I think it can be exclusive more than inclusive, as well as why I think it can set unrealistic expectations. Not a hater, just expressing my opinion. Let me know what you guys think about this trend too! x Find me on @urbigsistasha (instagram), @tashakarina (YouTu...

Let me know if you also have a set of mood boosters! Find me on @urbigsistasha (instagram), @tashakarina (YouTube) and @...
In this week's episode, I present to you one of the most over used (well deserved to be) phrases out there at the moment - COMPARISON IS THE THIEF OF JOY! Especially with the growing amount of social media apps that are shoved in our faces all day, err day - I discuss some ways to help navigate using these without it totally consuming you and encouraging anxious or insecure emotions. I know, it's easier said than done but personally, I found myself feeling anxious and just worse after scrolling ...
In this week's episode, I talk about what accountability is and why it is so important! I believe it's a fundamental factor in creating healthy and worthwhile relationships. We also touch on self awareness - how to be and why lack of could really stink a person up. Remember, it's not about critiquing and being hard on yourself all the damn time. Instead, it's about allowing yourself the ability to know when you are in the wrong as well as when you are in the right! Find me on @urbigsistasha (ins...

Happy New Year my babies! Welcome to season 2 of the podcast. I am so excited to be back and chit chatting with you guys again :) This week, we are talking about my reset routine actions - whether it's for the new year or just for a Monday. I've always felt that whenever I feel overwhelmed after the weekend or any sort of break, by completing a couple of reset actions, I settle my anxieties and feel much more prepared. Do you have any particular reset actions that you rely on when feeling overwh...
As if it's the week of Christmas already! I hope you're all feeling that festive holiday spirit, though with the whole *pandemic* it's put a little bit of a downer on my Christmas but we move. This week's episode is all about the year that was 2021 and my recap of it. I'm sure I can speak for everybody when I say that this year was weird and different and all types of hectic. But I can't help but just try and be hopeful for the new year ahead. If like me, you love resolutions then I share with y...
Ben and I are celebrating our 6 year anniversary this weekend and so that had me reminiscing. I then saw just how much I have changed (for the better) because of his influence. So I thought I would share with you guys some of the most important things I learned from Ben that quite frankly, upgraded me as a person :) So if you want to hear what I have to say, then give it a listen! Hope you enjoy this ep x >> INSTAGRAM @bigsistasha >> YOUTUBE @tashakarina >> MY STORE @thespiltmi...
We're halfway through November and if anyone thinks it's too early to talk about Christmas, I will personally come and fight you xo Just kidding, but last year was so terrible in that we didn't know if we could celebrate with our loved ones and there were no lights to be seen and no mulled wines to be enjoyed with friends, that we decided to just prolong this year's festivities to make up for it. But don't get it twisted, as much as I love Christmas, I also know that it is one of, if not, THE MO...
Before anything, my apologies for going MIA on you guys again. Some things came up and I had to prioritise myself, so that I can truly give this podcast my all. But I am back and I'm most def better! This week, you might be wondering why I have uploaded on a Monday when it's Wednesdays that we listen to YBST?! Well on the date of upload (25th Oct), it will be my 28th birthday. So I thought to make it a little different and special, this episode will be a message to 26 year old Tasha at 11:59pm w...
This week, I share with you guys ten tips that I curated from my years of being a Uni student, as I thought this may come in handy as Uni is just around the corner!

This week, I share with you guys my five favourite morning habits (*these are non negotiable and occur 95% of the year*). They're easy but have such a massive impact on how my morning goes. Fun fact - they say that it takes 21 days to build a habit and so, do try a couple of these (if you don't do them yet) for 21 days and see if it's a habit you want to incorporate in your mornings foreverrrr!

This week we are joined by our very first guest on the podcast! Since I'm everybody's favourite big sister Tasha, I thought it would only be right to introduce and feature my little sister herself, Alex. We talk about our University experience, me who graduated a *while* ago and my sister who is currently going into her final year. We discuss how online learning and the pandemic has affected her and why staying at home might be the best thing you can do as a student!
So today I am just going to be putting myself on blaaaast and risking making myself look like a horrible person because we are diving in to my top 5 toxic traits and habits. Why, you might ask? Because I want to also talk about how I came to realise these toxic traits and what I do to try and tackle them/keep myself in check. Doing so, I can then continue trying to be a better person - cheesy I know! Hope you enjoy this ep x >> INSTAGRAM @urbigsistasha >> YOUTUBE @tashakarina >>...
I know, I know - it's been a month since I last uploaded. I wasn't trying to ghost you guys or anything I swear! My mental health was in desperate need of TLC, so I listened :) It's these little habits that I have acquired over the years that help me get through the bad days and look after myself a little better. If you want to know what these are, then this is the episode for you!
For today's episode, we talk about the 'it' topic of the season - HOT GIRL SUMMER! We dive into what this means to you and more importantly, what it means to me hahaha! But in all seriousness, I take you through what this means for me, a cuffed up girl in her late 20s with a 9-5 job plus commute. What does your Hot Girl Summer look like?
For today's episode, we talk about confidence and knowing your self worth! I share with you how I got to the point of self-confidence that allowed me to really push through with my podcast, YouTube etc. What are your confidence boosters?
For today’s episode, we talk about all the pressures, worries and expectations that come when you’re in your late 20s! Is it the big 30 that we’re worried about or just the idea of a new chapter?
For today's episode, we keep it chatty and light - discussing how I've been feeling with lockdown slowly lifting. It all seems to be moving towards the right direction but is anybody else feeling a *little* strange/anxious?
For today's episode, we get a little deep and a little reminsce-y (is that a word?). I will be talking about my story as a Filipina child who moved here to England - including discussing my life back home and what the reality of moving abroad was like for me, and further to that, how I felt as one of the very few people of colour in my school and my hometown.This episode will touch on those important subjects, as well as allowing you to get to know me a little better!
Meet your new favourite big sister, Tasha! Just like any big sis, I will be preaching, nagging and giving my advice whether you like it or not. So grab yourself a wine, mimosa or a cup of tea and talk to me!
