  • Why Are Young People Not Dating?
    Jun 3 2026

    “Dating apps are a good tool if we remember they are just that—a tool—and focus on meeting the people behind the profiles. We have to use them wisely, without unrealistic expectations.” — Grace Heng

    In a world of dating apps, instant messaging and limitless profiles, why are so many singles still choosing no one? In Singapore, two in five youths aged 22 to 29 have never been in a relationship—a statistic that feels both surprising and quietly familiar.

    Host June and Grace Heng, founder of Sacred Companion SG, unpack what lies beneath modern dating culture and single life today. Is it a lack of time, a fear of vulnerability, or the fatigue of starting over? Or is it something deeper—the challenge of building genuine connections in a fast-paced, swipe-driven world?

    For those navigating single life, this episode explores a question that lingers not just who to choose, but whether we are truly ready to choose at all.

  • Married Couples as Business Partners
    May 20 2026

    Building a business as a married couple presents unique challenges that go beyond strategy and growth.

    Have you taken the time to define what success means together as a couple?

    Host Delia dives deeper into conversation with Mathieu and Gladys, founders of Gosh! Kids Singapore, as they share genuine insights into what it truly takes to work alongside your spouse without losing sight of your marriage. They reflect on navigating conflict, clarifying roles, managing boundaries, and aligning values when work and home inevitably overlap.

    Their journey reveals how unresolved expectations, stress, and insecurity can strain a relationship, but as Mathieu puts it, “we can’t help but unite in purpose.” By redefining success, intentionally protecting family time, and choosing unity over individual agendas, they model what an aligned partnership looks like in both the family and business.

    This conversation offers thoughtful, practical insights for couples seeking to grow together while keeping their marriage grounded, resilient, and deeply connected.

    You can also listen to Matthieu and Gladys as they share, One Marriage, Two Dreams, One Shared Purpose.”

  • One Marriage, Two Dreams, One Shared Purpose
    May 6 2026

    What dreams did you bring into your marriage, and how have they evolved over time? How couples align individual dreams into a shared purpose?

    Married young and still carrying dreams yet to be fulfilled, host Delia welcomes Mathieu Tan and Gladys Soh, founders of Gosh! Kids Singapore, as they share their honest journey of aligning individual dreams in the early years of marriage. Rooted in a teenage friendship, the couple reflects on navigating differences at different stages, seasons of long‑distance living, and early expectations.

    Mathieu shares how Gladys’s passion for community work gradually reshaped his own goals into a shared mission. A defining turning point came when they moved to Japan to build family‑centred communities—an experience that tested them but ultimately strengthened their marriage. Together, they emphasise the importance of openness, mentorship, and healthy communication as couples learn to honour differences and take small, meaningful steps towards building a shared life.

    What is one small step you and your spouse can take together in this season?
