Tran’s Talk
Comedian Robin Tran thinks that it’s absurd when comedians call themselves “modern day philosophers” unless she’s talking about herself. Listen as Robin gives her insights about the world and takes you through the recesses of her brain by talking at length about topics that aren’t fit for the stage.

The Consequences of Blowing Up Your Whole Life on Purpose
In episode 4 of Tran's Talk, I talk about blowing up my entire life and the moment I hit rock bottom which finally made me let go of lifelong childish fantasies. All of my life, I've clung onto "woe is me" as an escape, but I learned the hard way that what I'm experiencing is just life and I need to actually live it, so I'm saying goodbye to learned helplessness. I also talk about intentional solitude vs. isolation, the addiction to external validation, surrendering to sadness, and minimizing meta feelings. Throughout all of this, I've learned resiliency, independence, and how to have more confidence. I've always identified as a shy introvert, but I talk about how I'm not sure if that's true anymore after weeks of socializing. Hope you enjoy this episode!
