hot pursuit by AsianBossGirl

It's been a while since we caught up with you all on our dating adventures on the apps, so in today's episode, we share some of our recent experiences -- conversations via text, a video chat, a couple of in-person dates, drafting and sending hard messages, and getting unexpected responses. We're curious what dating has been like for all of you these past couple of months -- let us know 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:- Aurate: Get 20% off with code ABG at auratenewyork.com/abg- Bloom: Go to bloomnu.com/ABG for 15% off. - First Republic Bank: Visit firstrepublic.com- Peloton: Visit onepeloton.com- Wondery: Even the Rich: Patty Hearst and Rich and Daily- 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.

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.

Today we’re going to be talking about Burnout. What is it? Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress. 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. So we want to take some time today to get into the topic of burnout, and more importantly, what we can do about it.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:- US Bank: Send a personalized red envelope E-card with lucky money quickly to friends & family.

Welcome to a NEW YEAR! In this FIRST episode of 2022, we focus on goal setting in a non-traditional way. Instead of discussing our goals in a list format, we opted for a future self journaling exercise inspired by Jenn Im's vlog where she journals a "future day-in-the-life". This activity can help focus one's desires and goals. Listen in as Mel, Helen, and Janet each share a "future day-in-the-life". What do each of our journal entries reveal about the life we want? Try this exercise out yourself and let us know if you enjoy it!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:- Lumineux: Get 15% off your order at lumineuxhealth.com/abg.- Pill Club: Give $10 donation to bedsider.org for your purchase at thepillclub.com/abg- Preply: Get 50% off your first lesson at preply.com/ABG- Prose: Get 15% off your first order at prose.com/abg- Truebill: Save money at truebill.com/ABG- Silk + Sonder: Get 15% off a subscription with code ABG15OFF- StitchFix: Try Stitch Fix Freestyle at stitchfix.com/abg- ZocDoc: Sign up 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.
