hot pursuit by AsianBossGirl

“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.

The end of June and the beginning of July marked the middle of the year. We often take time to practice goal setting at the beginning of a year, and actively review and reflect events, actions, and behaviors at the end of a year. But this year, we have decided to do a mid-year check-in. What did we envision going into this year? Is it shaping up as we’d hoped? What’s next? Listen in as we share about a new romance potential, thinking about fertility as a single woman, the crossroads of new motherhood and work, and much more. How about you?

Work-Life Balance - How do we do it? Are we able to do it? Is it non-existent in our lives? We talked about this topic in Episode 9, but that was in 2017 when our lives looked very different. Five years later, we revisit this topic and share our current work-life balance experiences as entrepreneurs with public-facing personas while managing family relationships, dating, and taking care of ourselves. With many shifting to work-from-home policies, we want to know how all of you are managing work-life balance too - please share your experiences in the comments!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:- Credit Karma: Find the card for you at creditkarma.com or download the Credit Karma app- European Wax Center: Get your first wax FREE at your local European Wax Center- StitchFix: Get $20 off your first purchase at stitchfix.com/ABG- Truebill: Start canceling today at truebill.com/ABG- Vaccines: Find vaccines and boosters near you at vaccines.gov- Vegamour: Get 20% off with code abg at vegamour.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.
