hot pursuit by AsianBossGirl

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.

One of the most difficult life transitions someone can go through is letting go of a relationship and going through the process of a divorce. It’s a deeply personal journey, so we are extremely grateful that our dear friend Cathy Nguyen is joining us today to share how her experience with divorce has given her a new perspective on motherhood and self-love. Cathy has been on the ABG podcast before, but you may also recognize her from Wong Fu Productions’ “Strangers, Again” and “Strangers Never Again” series, or her social content featuring her incredible relationship with her daughter, Isla.__________________________________________Hosts: Melody Cheng, Janet Wang, Helen WuContributing Editor: Haemee KangEditor: Michelle Hsieh__________________________________________P A R T N E R S• Coffee Meets Bagel: Download Coffee Meets Bagel, the dating app for serious daters here• Honey: Try PayPal Honey for free at JoinHoney.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.

In the face of pervasive racism and stereotyping, particularly in recent years, it’s important for all minority communities to stand together in solidarity.

How did their mixed families, and the way that society viewed them, affect their personal cultural identities?Janine is an actress, who you may recognize from Wong Fu Productions’ Yappie, Everything Before Us, or Traif: An Unkosher Series. Ryan is an actor and content creator who uses his story and voice to encourage others of mixed ethnic/cultural backgrounds to fully embrace who they are.

We’ve discussed cultural identity many times on this podcast, but today we wanted to put a more personal lens on the topic, and talk about experiences and habits that make us Asian. Going beyond outward appearances, what are ways in which we find comfort and pride in being Asian? Whether it’s celebrating cultural traditions, or realizing that you’re slowly morphing into your grandparents/parents, the answer to this question looks different for every individual. __________________________________________Hosts: Melody Cheng, Janet Wang, Helen WuContributing Editor: Haemee KangEditor: 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.
