About this podcast
Welcome to TakeThree Talks — a podcast by TakeThree Studio.
A show about creativity, change, and the tender chaos of being human.
I’m Estefi, your host. Join me on verbal escapades filled with curiously curated questions and off-tangent conversations rooted in real life. Sometimes, I’m joined by Meijun — my partner of 10 years and best friend for over 14 — as we navigate the nitty gritty of running a creative business while sharing a home, a vision, and caring for our Korean rescue pup-child, Guillermo.
TakeThree Talks began as a space to share personal reflections during a season of reinvention and creative experimentation.
Season 1 opens with stories of identity, creative growth, and becoming the humans behind TakeThree. Through journal entries, voice notes, and quiet revelations, we share what it’s been like to build a creative life — together.
Season 2: The Travel Season — we take you elsewhere, literally.
From silent meditation retreats in Chiang Mai to elephant sanctuaries, Japanese art islands, street food in China, and temple-hopping in Bangkok, we explore the stories, surprises, and soft culture shocks that come with long-term travel.
