May is a very special month for us here at AsianBossGirl. For one, it is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, AAPIHM for short, and it is also Mother’s Day coming up on May 8th!In light of Mother’s Day coming up, and the three of us on this podcast, today’s discussion will be honoring OUR mothers and talking about what it was like for them as immigrant mothers in this country. While we’ve talked about their immigration stories in past episodes (their journeys to America), we never got to really ask them – “What was it like for you, as someone who left home, to raise a daughter here, in America?” This month, we are working with Old Navy on a campaign to celebrate our AAPIHM heritage. We are so pleased to be partnering with them on this very important conversation, so thank you, Old Navy, for sponsoring this episode.This episode was edited by Michelle Hsieh.___________________________L I S T E N E R S U R V E Y:Let us know your thoughts on the podcast hereP A R T N E R S mentioned in this episode:- Old Navy: Check out oldnavy.comS H O U T O U T !- Give a shoutout on the podcast here.S U B S C R I B E T O U S !- @asianbossgirl on Apple Podcasts / Spotify / YouTube / Instagram / Twitter / Facebook- More about us at asianbossgirl.comE – M A I L U S !- hello@asianbossgirl.comS U P P O R T U S !- merch: asianbossgirl.myshopify.com- donation: anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/support Learn more about your ad choices.

The episode we've all been waiting for! Our girl, Helen, is back on the pod alongside her hubs, Philip, to spill all the details of the day their lives changed forever! Take a ride back with us to when Helen went into labor for the very first time. From the morning of her contractions, to the moment it was time for her to go into "athlete mode" in the delivery room, to when they found out the gender of their newborn and how they both walked out of the maternity ward as changed people. Listen in on this very intimate conversation as we join our two good friends in sharing their labor & birth story.This episode was edited by Michelle Hsieh.___________________________L I S T E N E R S U R V E Y:Let us know your thoughts on the podcast hereP A R T N E R S mentioned in this episode:- Let it Out: Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen!- ISSUU: Get your free account or 50% off a premium account with code ASIANBOSSGIRL at ISSUU.com/podcast- Little Passports: Get 20% at littlepassports.com/ABG- Lumineux: Find them on Amazon & get $7 off!- Aurate: Get 20% off at auratenewyork.com with code abg- Comcast: Learn more & apply here and share with a business owner friendS H O U T O U T !- Give a shoutout on the podcast here.S U B S C R I B E T O U S !- @asianbossgirl on Apple Podcasts / Spotify / YouTube / Instagram / Twitter / Facebook- More about us at asianbossgirl.comE – M A I L U S !- hello@asianbossgirl.comS U P P O R T U S !- merch: asianbossgirl.myshopify.com- donation: anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/support Learn more about your ad choices.

The 30s are a decade where many (obviously not all) but many people experience 2 MAJOR life milestones: marriage and kids. We imagine that each of those events is like a door into a different room - on one side is the before, and after you step inside, you’re in a different room with different life circumstances - maybe kids more than marriage, but still - both are very life altering events. Mel and Janet are currently both in the same room - the one with no man and no babies!If you ever feel like all your friends are either getting married or having kids, while you’re just…not - join in on this convo!This episode was edited by Michelle Hsieh.___________________________L I S T E N E R S U R V E Y:Let us know your thoughts on the podcast hereP A R T N E R S mentioned in this episode:- First Republic: Visit firstrepublic.com- Framebridge: Get 15% off your first order with code ABG at framebridge.com- Peloton: Visit onepeloton.com- Third Love: Get 20% off your first order at thirdlove.com/ABG- Truebill: Visit truebill.com/ABG- Waterdrop: Get 15% off with code ABG15 at waterdrop.com- Zocdoc: Get the app for free at zocdoc.com/ABGS H O U T O U T !- Give a shoutout on the podcast here.S U B S C R I B E T O U S !- @asianbossgirl on Apple Podcasts / Spotify / YouTube / Instagram / Twitter / Facebook- More about us at asianbossgirl.comE – M A I L U S !- hello@asianbossgirl.comS U P P O R T U S !- merch: asianbossgirl.myshopify.com- donation: anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/support Learn more about your ad choices.

Ashley, being in her early 20's, graduated college in the pandemic and started her first corporate job. Haemee, being in her early 30's, uprooted her life in New York and moved to Los Angeles to shake things up. Both of these women are going through different things, but have the shared experience of going through changes and transitions.Tune in as we talk through these uncertain feelings and situations with Ashley & Haemee!This episode was edited by Michelle Hsieh.___________________________L I S T E N E R S U R V E Y:Let us know your thoughts on the podcast hereP A R T N E R S mentioned in this episode:- ThriveCausemetics: Get 15% off your first order at thrivecausemetics.com/ABG
