hot pursuit by AsianBossGirl

"Love is Blind" is a reality love show that allows single individuals to date and build meaningful connections before ever setting sight on one another. Once individuals are engaged, they meet and see if their connection can carry them through a successful wedding day and beyond. In this episode, we get to chat with two of the contestants from Season 2, Natalie and Deepti, who both met their fiance on the show. Deepti joins the conversation a little later, but it's worth the wait - she shares what it was like behind the scenes for her & Shake. Listen in as we chat about what it was like to date in "the pods", their thoughts and feelings about their partners, and what happened after the show. Leave a ♥️ in the comments if you're a fan of the show, Love is Blind!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:- AcornTV: Get 30 days free with code abg at acorn.tv- Cozy Earth: 35% off at cozyearth.com/abg- Modern Fertility: Get $20 off at modernfertility.com/ABG- Ritual: Get 10% off your first 3 months at ritual.com/ABG- Third Love: Get 20% off first order at thirdlove.com/abg- Wondery: Even the Rich: Patty Hearst and Rich and DailyS 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.

Finding love through our podcast is something Janet & Mel both thought they would potentially achieve. A lot of their friends joke around asking if anyone has slid through the DM’s or if listeners have sent potential matches & the answer is no LOLHowever, it looks like some of our guests are having better luck finding love through our ABG podcast. If you remember Ep 66 & Ep 68, we brought on our good friend Anna Lee to talk through her coming out story. We later found out that another ABG listener, Amy, really connected with Anna’s story and made her move.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:- Pill Club: Give $10 donation to bedsider.org for your purchase at thepillclub.com/abg- Stitch Fix: Try Stitch Fix Freestyle at stitchfix.com/abg- Ritual: Get 10% off your first 3 months at ritual.com/ABG- Wondery: Even the Rich: Patty Hearst and Rich and Daily- Third Love: Get 20% off first order at thirdlove.com/abg- Oral Essentials: Get 15% off at getlumineux.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.

It's the month of Valentine’s Day, so I'm sure your feed is not short on sweet, lovey-dovey content about romance. But let's be real - romantic love isn’t all butterflies and rainbows, and especially in our mid-20s and onward, it often takes on a different weight. Romantic love during this period in life can be incredibly complex – working through each individual’s past relationship “traumas”, ourselves changing and figuring out who we are and what type of partner we are most compatible with, and not to mention differing communication styles and potentially different future goals that evolve during the relationship. Often times a breakup is not just a “change of heart”, but due to multiple factors. To kick-off "the month of love", we are dedicating an episode to that period when a romantic relationship starts to devolve, and eventually ends.

It occurs when you feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, and unable to meet constant demands.This is a topic that we have been seeing EVERYWHERE - We're seeing people post about it on social media, hearing about and seeing it amongst our friends and family, reading about it in articles…and we personally were feeling it HEAVILY at the end of the year.
