With the rising cost of living affecting us all, everyone’s feeling the need to cut back. Fortunately, there’s a solution: work two jobs (#2kerja)! Certain quarters have bestowed upon us the indispensable advice to work one job by day and an online business at night, like some sort of hyper-productive Batman, except you’d be the exact opposite of a sexy billionaire playboy/girl / Dark Knight of Justice!

So listen in to the Teh Halia Crew. as we talk about the feasibility of actually taking two jobs, what we think of the calls of the rich and privileged who tell the poor to just work harder ‘cause they need to pay off their ruby studded top hats, and how this affects the far-off dream of that mythical "work-life balance".

As always, please like us, leave some thoughts down in the comment section, and feedback too for us to improve. Email us too at teh.halia.podcast@gmail.com

What happens when the girls take over?

This week on Teh Halia, the boys shut up for once and let the women talk!

Ezmira, Dianah and Pond sit across Lean In Malaysia's Abir, Afifah and Ashley to share what it means to be a feminist today, and in Malaysia. They also discuss female perspectives in the workplace, female participation in politics and the economy and what options are available for the urban feminist who struggles to balance career ambitions with pressures to conform to social expectations. Also: could Datuk Vida of Qu Puteh fame be an unlikely feminist icon?

All this and more on this week's Teh Halia Podcast, as the crew quits mansplaining and we listen in on some real heroes!
