It’s our final episode of the year (and also coincidentally our 200th episode!) 2022 certainly flew by, and as we prepare for the New Year, we wanted to take the time to reflect on the 5 Ws (who, what, when, where, and why) of this eventful year, both as individuals and as a company. From in-person meetups all around the world, to the publication of our first children’s book “Lucky Cat,” to the launch of our mini-shows, we’re so proud of where ABG is today and excited for what 2023 may hold. __________________________________________Hosts: Melody Cheng, Janet Wang, Helen WuEditor: Michelle Hsieh__________________________________________P A R T N E R S• Lomi: Get $50 off your Lomi using code ABG at lomi.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.

A few years ago, Helen arranged two blind Holi-Dates for Mel and Janet. This year, we’ve certainly still got love in mind, as we’ve all found holiday romances of our own. So, instead of focusing on new romances, we wanted to learn more about what love is like for a couple who has been together for 8+ years: husband and wife, Helen Wu and Philip Wang! They sit down for an open and honest discussion of how they navigated the ups and downs of their relationship, the expansion of their family, and their proudest moments together as a couple. __________________________________________Hosts: Melody Cheng, Janet Wang, Helen WuEditor: Michelle Hsieh__________________________________________P A R T N E R S• McDonald’s: Get the Quarter Pounder with Cheese at a location near you!• Meditation for Women: Listen wherever you get your podcasts and visit linktr.ee/womensmeditationnetwork to learn more• Issuu: Sign up for FREE or get 50% off a premium account with code ASIANBOSSGIRL at issuu.com/podcast• Lululemon: Shop the best gifts now 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.

Winter holidays are the best time for gathering with friends and family to eat lots of food. But planning these events can get stressful quickly - that’s why potlucks are a great way to get together without too much pressure on the host. But have you ever wondered about potluck etiquette? What’s an acceptable dish to bring if you really don’t like to cook? How do leftovers get shared? We discuss these potentially sticky situations so everyone can avoid all faux pas and sail smoothly through the holiday season!Our most important etiquette tip is this: during this time of gathering, it’s important to keep everyone safe and healthy so all the festivities can be enjoyed.

“The 36 Questions That Lead to Love” by Daniel Jones on The New York Times challenges friends and couples to be candid through a series of personal questions. There are three sets of twelve questions each, with increasing levels of vulnerability. This activity is based on a psychology study that explored how intimate and honest conversation creates connection and increases closeness, even if the participants were strangers at the start. After starting a podcast and business together, we know a lot about one another, but we wanted to challenge ourselves in this episode to explore even deeper levels of closeness through this activity. Tune in as we share what our perfect day looks like, how often we sing to ourselves, and what one quality or ability we would want to gain.As yet another year comes to a close, it’s always nice to look back on past episodes and hear what’s changed over the years. Today we’re playing one of Janet’s favorite episodes: our very first episode of Season 4 (we’re now on Season 16!), which she loves for the intimate conversation we shared while recording. We answered Set I in this episode, but you can also go back to listen to Part 2 on Episode 37: 36 Questions to Fall in Love (Part II).Leave us a heart in the comments if you would explore these questions with a friend, acquaintance, or stranger!__________________________________________Hosts: Melody Cheng, Janet Wang, Helen WuEditor: Michelle Hsieh__________________________________________P A R T N E R S• Vaccines: Find vaccines and boosters near you at vaccines.gov• Issuu: Sign up for FREE or get 50% off a premium account with code ASIANBOSSGIRL at issuu.com/podcast• Sweet or Savory with Alyssa and AJ: Catch new episodes every week on Spotify or wherever you listen to your podcasts and follow them @sweetorsavorypod__________________________________________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 year has been jam-packed with new life experiences. As our baby reaches the ripe age of 1 (very soon!), I wanted to bring my husband, Philip Wang, on to the pod to talk about what it’s been like to take on this new identity of a parent. If we could turn back time, what is a piece of advice we would’ve told ourselves one year ago today? What is something we didn’t know or expect to happen in the first year as new parents that surprised us? Becoming a parent is a major life transition, and all transitions, no matter how eagerly anticipated, are accompanied by stress, fear, and lots of unknowns. We’re ecstatic that we survived the first year. And grateful that we can impart what we’ve learned to everyone that tunes in.Here are a few shortcuts if you’d like to hop to a topic that interests you![01:38] – My Giggle and Drool of the Week[09:09] – What would we tell ourselves as new parents, one year ago today?[28:49] – Something we didn’t expect to happen in the first year as new parents, that did happen![44:12] – Outro After you’ve taken a listen, let me know in the comments of our IG post if you related to this episode in any way. What are some lessons that you can share with first time parents? Is there anything we missed in this episode that you would like to add? As always, thank you for allowing me to share my personal journey with you all. I have so much more to learn and would love to continue connecting and learning from all of you out there. I hope you enjoy!#SpillTheBabyTea__________________________________________Host: Helen WuEditor: Victoria Cheng__________________________________________P A R T N E R S• Vaccines: Find vaccines and boosters near you at vaccines.gov• Lomi: Get $50 off your Lomi using code ABG at lomi.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.
