bts returns with arirang, meg unpacks constant comparison & internalised tall poppy syndrome | fingers crossed ep. 36

BTS is officially back after nearly four years, and we're breaking down their new album Arirang and the new Swim music video starring Lili Reinhart. Erica’s a longtime fan and Meg might be a new convert (potentially).


Then we shift gears into something much more personal as Meg opens up about her recent therapy session where she unpacked how she constantly compares herself to others, her thoughts on changing career paths and life direction, and a realisation that's been sitting with her for years: she's always felt bad for trying. We get into internalised tall poppy syndrome, the fear of standing out or aiming too high, and what it actually takes to push past that.


We also touch on enneagram types, marketing thoughts, a potential back scratch business idea, and why being ambitious feels so uncomfortable sometimes.


A mix of pop culture excitement and deeply vulnerable self reflection.


🎙️ Fingers Crossed is a mental health and life podcast hosted by Erica and Megan.
