As many listeners may already know, Janet is going through the process of freezing her eggs. At the time of this episode’s release, she just finished her first cycle, and she’s planning to do 1-2 more cycles to collect additional eggs. Fertility is still a topic that is not often talked about, so today, Janet is here to share her personal experience and walk us through every step of the process: why she decided to freeze her eggs, how her day-to-day life was affected, and some helpful tips she’s learned so far in her journey. She’s here to shed light on parts of the procedure that may seem scary to some (costs, medication, etc.), the ups and downs of the egg freezing process, and how this whole experience has given her more awareness of her own body. For more information about egg freezing and IVF, you can also listen to our episode with Dr. Huang.Resources:• Reproductive Partners• ReUnite Assist (ReUniteRX.com)• FertilitySavings.com__________________________________________Hosts: Melody Cheng, Janet Wang, Helen WuEditor: Michelle Hsieh__________________________________________C O N N E C T W I T H U S• Subscribe and Follow us @asianbossgirl on Apple Podcasts/Spotify/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.

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.

Hi, it’s Janet! Most of you know that I’m an avid yogi, meditator, plant-based eater and all-around wellness enthusiast. As a 2nd generation Asian American woman, I often find myself experimenting with Western health trends against the context of the Eastern philosophies I was raised with. I’ve shared parts of my wellness journey in various ABG episodes, but there are pieces I have yet to reveal. Listen to this episode for a thorough recount of my journey to wellness (so far). I explore what it means to live well and talk about periods in my life when I felt unwell and how I sought to feel better.My goal with this show is not to provide formal medical or health advice - I am not licensed to do that. Nor am I trying to push any one type of diet, workout, spiritual practice, etc. I am merely a youngish middle-aged person who is trying to live my life well, and in doing so, like to expose myself to lots of different practices and perspectives which I want to share with you in the hopes that it enlivens your own personal journey to living well.If you enjoyed this episode, I’d love it if you leave a comment in our IG post with one thing you’re doing for your wellness and which of the 6 dimensions it addresses (not sure what the 6 dimensions are? You’ll have to listen to the episode to find out!)Resources: What is Wellness? -The Global Wellness Institute7 tips to live a happier life -Mayo Clinic3 Key Indicators of a Life Well Lived -Psychology Today  __________________________________________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/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.

Our guest today is SuChin Pak, who is best known for being the first Asian American correspondent at MTV in the early 2000s, and one of the few Asian women we got to see consistently on our TV screens as teenagers. She started as a teen reporter on her local news channel, but didn’t expect to pursue a career in media – there weren’t others like her in the field back then. But thanks to her inspirational work, many of us are now able to consider creative careers that we didn’t think were possible before. Currently, she co-hosts the podcast “Add to Cart” with comedian and actress Kulap Vilaysak, and recently wrote the introduction for the anthology series: My Life: Growing Up Asian In America.Join us as SuChin shares her experience of entering the world of journalism during a time before social media, and how her career has informed her thoughts on community building and identity. Which Asian Americans inspired you growing up, or motivated you to pursue your career?__________________________________________Hosts: Melody Cheng and Janet WangContributing Editor: Haemee KangEditor: Michelle Hsieh__________________________________________P A R T N E R S• NEIWAI: Get 25% off your purchase with code ABG25 (now until 9/16/2022) at neiwai.us/3I7f3Cw• Gusto: Gusto: Get 3 months free at gusto.com/abg• WeBudding: Use promo code “boss” to get 50% off at en.webudding.com/boss• Shopify: Get a free 14 day trial and full access to entire suite of features at shopify.com/abg__________________________________________C O N N E C T W I T H U S• Subscribe and Follow us @asianbossgirl on Apple Podcasts/Spotify/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 are celebrating Asian men in pop culture and media: those who made an impact on our lives growing up, and those we now admire for using their platforms to advocate for their community. These men have certainly proved that society’s measure of “hotness” has expanded beyond the notion that Asian men are not appealing, and should continue to expand. We reveal who our first Asian male celebrity crushes were, which actors we would want to star alongside in our theoretical biopics, and discuss how our personal definitions of “attractiveness” have changed over time. Who are your past and current Asian celebrity crushes, and why?

“Everybody knows that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell, but why can’t someone teach me how to do my taxes correctly?” We’ve all wished at some point in life that personal finance was taught in schools with as much emphasis as algebra and biology. Starting your first job and learning how to save, invest, and manage your money can be difficult without the help of an expert. Vivian Tu has made it her mission to make professional financial advice easily accessible. In 2021, she started posting videos as YourRichBFF to combat misleading information during the pandemic when many people were struggling to make ends meet. With her background on Wall Street at JP Morgan, her content helps the people who are “leftover” by the finance world - women, people of color, the LGBTQ+ community and low-income groups - who otherwise would not have access to that information. In this episode, we asked her all our burning finance questions to get her insight on what you should know before buying a home, running a business, starting a family, and more.__________________________________________Hosts: Melody Cheng, Janet Wang, Helen WuContributing Editor: Haemee KangEditor: Michelle Hsieh__________________________________________P A R T N E R S• Green Chef: Use code abg135 for $135 off 5 boxes + free shipping at greenchef.com/abg135• Tailor Brands Plans: Get 40% off at tailorbrands.com/abg *Not valid on LLC• Stitch Fix: Visit stitchfix.com/abg and get $20 off your first purchase• Everlywell: Get 20% off your first at-home lab test at everlywell.com/abg• WeBudding: Use promo code “boss” to get 50% off at en.webudding.com/boss__________________________________________C O N N E C T W I T H U S• Subscribe and Follow us @asianbossgirl on Apple Podcasts/Spotify/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.

“Claiming your right to exist without limits includes giving yourself permission to rest.” -@asiansformentalhealthConversations about mental health are never easy, but particularly for children of immigrants, children of culture, and the diaspora, navigating and prioritizing mental and emotional self-care can seem like an isolating and daunting task. Our guest today has made it her professional mission to provide encouragement and guidance on how to overcome cultural stigmas while remaining proud of your heritage. Dr. Jenny Tzu-Mei Wang is a Taiwanese-American clinical psychologist known for her words of wisdom on Instagram @asiansformentalhealth. She is dedicated to destigmatizing conversations about mental health in the Asian community and focuses specifically on the intersections of Asian American identity, mental health, and intergenerational and racial trauma. Grab a blanket and sit with us as we discuss identity and wellness, along with Dr. Wang’s new book, Permission to Come Home: Reclaiming Mental Health as Asian Americans.__________________________________________Hosts: Melody Cheng and Janet WangContributing Editor: Haemee KangEditor: Michelle Hsieh__________________________________________P A R T N E R S• European Wax Center: Get your first wax FREE at your local European Wax Center• Issuu: Sign up for FREE or get 50% off a premium account with code ASIANBOSSGIRL at issuu.com/podcast• Truebill: Start canceling your unwanted subscriptions & save money at truebill.com/abg• Gusto: Get 3 months free at gusto.com/abg__________________________________________C O N N E C T W I T H U S• Subscribe and Follow us @asianbossgirl on Apple Podcasts/Spotify/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 June 24, 2022 the Supreme Court voted to overrule Roe v. Wade, a landmark court case which granted federal protections for the privacy of Americans seeking to terminate a pregnancy. The legality of an abortion is now determined on a state-by-state basis, and already several states have implemented a total ban on abortion. This issue has been weighing heavily on our hearts for the past two weeks as we wonder what a Post-Roe America looks like. Whether abortion affects you directly or not, it is important to learn and share what the Supreme Court’s ruling means for abortion rights across America, and how the consequences will ripple out across the country. What are Trigger Laws? What does this mean for fertility treatments like IVF? How can we continue to protect the Right to Choose? “You don’t have to like abortion, but you have to respect other people’s rights, and that includes the right to safe, accessible abortion.” - @strong.ass.women For more resources on this issue, visit:AbortionFinder.org - Find abortion services and the most up-to-date information about State-to-State abortion laws.AbortionFunds.org - Donate or access funds__________________________________________Hosts: Melody Cheng, Janet Wang, Helen WuContributing Editor: Haemee KangEditor: Michelle Hsieh__________________________________________P A R T N E R S• U.S. Bank: Visit USBank.com• NEIWAI: Get 25% off your purchase with code ABG25 (now until 9/16/2022) at neiwai.us/3I7f3Cw• Shopify: Get a free 14 day trial and full access to entire suite of features at shopify.com/abg• Vaccines: Find vaccines and boosters near you at vaccines.gov__________________________________________C O N N E C T W I T H U S• Subscribe and Follow us @asianbossgirl on Apple Podcasts/Spotify/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.
