How to Survive the Newborn Phase

Mel and janet talk about the first few months of having a baby. Mel says it's not easy but you will get through it, i promise. Janet: Don't be afraid to ask for help. We needn't stop expecting mobs to be super heroes all the time. And share with me who's in your metaphorical village that you want to give thanks to.

Episode notes

Welcome to the very first episode of Spill the Baby Tea!! I’m your host, Helen Wu-Wang, and I am so excited to create a space for all of us to candidly talk about all things motherhood and parenthood. As a first-time mom to an 8-month-old baby boy and a busy working parent, I am here to share with you all what it is really like to juggle both. From breastfeeding and all the ups and downs of that journey, to why my husband Philip and I decided not to show our baby’s face on social media, to what my confinement period led by my super traditional Chinese mom was like, to finding the balance between entrepreneurial aspirations and being a present and intentional parent... there’s so much to cover. For those of you who know me from the ABG podcast, you know I’m going to keep it real with y’all. We’re in this together!

For today’s episode! I’ll be covering the following:

[01:19] – My Giggle and Drool of the Week

[02:33] – Three reasons why I wanted to start this series

[05:20] – Who’s in my metaphorical village (which is really a euphemism for who’s taking care of my baby?! lol)

My village allows me to pursue my dreams, like this one – in growing the AsianBossGirl podcast and in producing Spill the Baby Tea for y’all. So of course – they had to be my very first topic. I am so excited to learn and grow together with you all in this lifelong journey of parenthood. If you enjoyed this episode or have any topic suggestions for me, please connect and let me know! You can reach me on Instagram @hwuwu or email me at hello@asianbossgirl.com.

After you’ve taken a listen, let me know in the comments of our IG post here: Who’s in your metaphorical village! Who would you like to give your thanks to? <3

I hope you enjoy!
