It’s been 3 years since we left our corporate jobs to work on ABG full time, and although our work looks very different from those days, there are some perks that we still miss. From benefits, to even just office supplies – what are the parts of working in Corporate that worked for us? Do we miss the “stability” of a corporate career? And, on the flip side, what are we very happy to have left behind?__________________________________________Hosts: Melody Cheng, Janet Wang, Helen WuContributing Editor: Haemee KangEditor: Michelle Hsieh__________________________________________P A R T N E R S• Honey: Try PayPal Honey for free at JoinHoney.com/ABG• Lululemon: Shop the Hotty Hot Shorts and more at lululemon.com__________________________________________C O N N E C T W I T H U S• Subscribe and Follow us @asianbossgirl on Apple Podcasts/Spotify/Amazon Music/YouTube/Instagram/Twitter/Facebook• Listener Survey: Let us know your thoughts on the podcast here• Shoutouts: Give a shoutout on the podcast here• Email: hello@asianbossgirl.com__________________________________________S U P P O R T U S• Merch: asianbossgirl.myshopify.com• Donate: anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/support• More about us at asianbossgirl.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Today, we’re talking about sex. No, not the juicy details! But the awkward conversation you may or may not have had with your parents (for me, my auntie) about the birds and the bees. Are you feeling awkward yet? haha In this episode, I also recount how the conversation of sex was brought up and how my mother showed up for me in a way I never expected.__________________________________________Host: Melody ChengEditor: Victoria Cheng__________________________________________C O N N E C T W I T H U S• Subscribe and Follow us @asianbossgirl on Apple Podcasts/Spotify/Amazon Music/YouTube/Instagram/Twitter/Facebook• Listener Survey: Let us know your thoughts on the podcast here• Shoutouts: Give a shoutout on the podcast here• Email: hello@asianbossgirl.com__________________________________________S U P P O R T U S• Merch: asianbossgirl.myshopify.com• Donate: anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/support• More about us at asianbossgirl.com Learn more about your ad choices.

When it comes to conflict with friends and family, it can be difficult to clearly express and elucidate your emotions. Particularly when you factor in cultural differences and generational gaps. Relating Between the Lines (RBTL), a school for relational education, has made it their mission to equip people with the tools they need to navigate these conversations.The co-founders of RBTL, Stephanie and Norman, join us to share how their personal experiences informed their emotional development and walk us through techniques for how you can improve your relationships and communication skills. Through live and online learning experiences, RBTL helps people embrace conflict, befriend emotions, listen deeply, and express authentically. As a first-generation Chinese-Vietnamese American woman, Stephanie seeks to empower Asian women to believe in their natural gifts, step into leadership roles, and take up space through mastery and embodiment of their emotional intelligence and soft skills.Norman is on a mission to “queer-eye” communication by sharing what he’s learned as a gay neurodivergent (ADHD 2e) man trying to find a sense of belonging in a world that is not designed for people like him.__________________________________________Hosts: Janet Wang and Helen WuContributing Editor: Haemee KangEditor: Michelle Hsieh__________________________________________P A R T N E R S• Stitch Fix: Get 25% off your purchase at stitchfix.com/ABG• Relating Between the Lines:Self-Guided Course - Get 10% off the RBTL Self-Guided Course at https://bit.ly/rbtl-sgc-abgCohort-Based Course - Get 10% off the RBTL Lite or Signature 6-week experience after you apply and are accepted into the October 2023 cohort at https://bit.ly/rbtl-abg Referral Name - AsianBossGirl__________________________________________C O N N E C T W I T H U S• Subscribe and Follow us @asianbossgirl on Apple Podcasts/Spotify/Amazon Music/YouTube/Instagram/Twitter/Facebook• Listener Survey: Let us know your thoughts on the podcast here• Shoutouts: Give a shoutout on the podcast here• Email: hello@asianbossgirl.com__________________________________________S U P P O R T U S• Merch: asianbossgirl.myshopify.com• Donate: anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/support• More about us at asianbossgirl.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Today’s guest answers all of life’s burning questions. “I feel like I’ve lost myself. I don’t know who I am anymore. How do I find myself again?” “How do I live a more intentional life?” “I want to be present for my family and make Partner, but how can I do both?” “What are some tactical ways to overcome burnout?”Bea Kim is an Executive & Life Coach who primarily serves working parents, high-potential leaders and executives, and she has worked directly with larger companies like Google, Adobe, and Facebook. She is also a group coach for the Stanford Graduate School of Business.Helen here! I am all about tactical advice, and less about the woo-woo (even though Wu is my last name ;)). Bea Kim provides just that in this episode – tangible ways to lead a more intentional life. Straight from our editor: “Bea is so insightful and such a great speaker! I feel like I learned a lot that could be applied to my life, even though I'm not a parent.”If you resonated with this episode, share in the comments of AsianBossGirl’s latest Instagram post.I hope you enjoy!#SpillTheBabyTea__________________________________________Host: Helen WuEditor: Victoria Cheng__________________________________________C O N N E C T W I T H U S• Subscribe and Follow us @asianbossgirl on Apple Podcasts/Spotify/Amazon Music/YouTube/Instagram/Twitter/Facebook• Listener Survey: Let us know your thoughts on the podcast here• Shoutouts: Give a shoutout on the podcast here• Email: hello@asianbossgirl.com__________________________________________S U P P O R T U S• Merch: asianbossgirl.myshopify.com• Donate: anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/support• More about us at asianbossgirl.com Learn more about your ad choices.

On this podcast, we try to be as open and candid as possible. But realistically, our public persona only represents 5% of our lives. So, we wondered how much your assumptions about us match up with what’s really going on. From our personalities (Is Helen the most outgoing?) to our careers (Is ABG writing another book?) to our future plans (Would we ever move out of LA?) - are your assumptions about us correct?__________________________________________Hosts: Melody Cheng, Janet Wang, Helen WuEditor: Michelle Hsieh__________________________________________P A R T N E R S• ZocDoc: Download the ZocDoc app for FREE at ZocDoc.com/ABG__________________________________________C O N N E C T W I T H U S• Subscribe and Follow us @asianbossgirl on Apple Podcasts/Spotify/Amazon Music/YouTube/Instagram/Twitter/Facebook• Listener Survey: Let us know your thoughts on the podcast here• Shoutouts: Give a shoutout on the podcast here• Email: hello@asianbossgirl.com__________________________________________S U P P O R T U S• Merch: asianbossgirl.myshopify.com• Donate: anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/support• More about us at asianbossgirl.com Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode is not about trying to convince anyone to meditate, if they aren’t somewhat interested already. I think most people I’ve spoken to don’t need to be sold on meditation and would like to start meditating, but the common hang-ups I hear are: "How do you meditate? Like what is going on when your eyes are closed? What am I supposed to be doing?" and "I've tried meditating before - I've downloaded apps, watched videos, or attended a short session - but I always fall off the habit. How do I develop a meditation practice or ritual?If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a meditating emoji in the comments, and if you feel so inspired, please share with me where you are in your meditation journey!__________________________________________Host: Janet WangEditor: Victoria Cheng__________________________________________C O N N E C T W I T H U S• Subscribe and Follow us @asianbossgirl on Apple Podcasts/Spotify/Amazon Music/YouTube/Instagram/Twitter/Facebook• Listener Survey: Let us know your thoughts on the podcast here• Shoutouts: Give a shoutout on the podcast here• Email: hello@asianbossgirl.com__________________________________________S U P P O R T U S• Merch: asianbossgirl.myshopify.com• Donate: anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/support• More about us at asianbossgirl.com Learn more about your ad choices.

As a society, we typically eat three meals a day, so nothing brings people together as much as food. Especially GOOD food. Today’s guest is a model turned therapist turned chef - Ronnie Woo, the author of a new cookbook, “Did You Eat Yet?” which celebrates his Asian and American heritage. What should you cook for someone on a 1st date? What dish will help you lock in a relationship? And what makes food sexy? __________________________________________Hosts: Melody Cheng, Janet Wang, Helen WuContributing Editor: Haemee KangEditor: Michelle Hsieh__________________________________________P A R T N E R S• Issuu: Sign up for FREE or get 50% off a premium account with code ASIANBOSSGIRL at issuu.com/podcast__________________________________________C O N N E C T W I T H U S• Subscribe and Follow us @asianbossgirl on Apple Podcasts/Spotify/Amazon Music/YouTube/Instagram/Twitter/Facebook• Listener Survey: Let us know your thoughts on the podcast here• Shoutouts: Give a shoutout on the podcast here• Email: hello@asianbossgirl.com__________________________________________S U P P O R T U S• Merch: asianbossgirl.myshopify.com• Donate: anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/support• More about us at asianbossgirl.com Learn more about your ad choices.

"Bad" Habits. Are they really that bad? In today's episode, I bring on my first guest onto this mini show. You may know her from AsianBossGirl, Helen Wu! We share our most embarrassing habits (who else picks their noses?), the bad habits we do behind closed doors, the habits that annoy us like no other, and the bad habits we were able to transform into good. What are some habits you're trying to get rid of?__________________________________________Host: Melody ChengEditor: Victoria Cheng__________________________________________C O N N E C T W I T H U S• Subscribe and Follow us @asianbossgirl on Apple Podcasts/Spotify/Amazon Music/YouTube/Instagram/Twitter/Facebook• Listener Survey: Let us know your thoughts on the podcast here• Shoutouts: Give a shoutout on the podcast here• Email: hello@asianbossgirl.com__________________________________________S U P P O R T U S• Merch: asianbossgirl.myshopify.com• Donate: anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/support• More about us at asianbossgirl.com Learn more about your ad choices.
