hot pursuit by AsianBossGirl

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.

And together, through all the ups and downs, the many trials and tribulations we’ve all inevitably faced throughout this year, and the moments of happiness and gratitude that have lifted us and kept us moving from day to day, we have all made it through to the end of a wild year.

It’s been awhile since we’ve had an episode on female sexuality. We know this topic can be a bit taboo in our culture, and maybe among some of your friendship circles as well. As Asian women, our relationship with our sexuality can be incredibly complicated and nuanced. At times it may be disheartening that we cannot control society’s dialogue about Asian women and sexuality, but we can start by controlling our own personal narratives with our sexuality.Join us for a conversation with Anna Lee, co-founder of Lioness, the women-led sexual health startup that built the world's first and only smart vibrator that gives biofeedback data to help people learn more about their own bodies and improve their understanding of sexual pleasure. Anna is a big advocate in Lioness’s mission to expand research in sexual health and to destigmatize female sexuality.This episode was edited by Michelle Hsieh.Below are some of Anna's fav IG accounts:asiansforsexpositivityevery1deservessexedpolyamorouswhileasiantalk.tabuthesexedShadeenFranciskinseyinstitutegigienglewhatsmybodydoingjayda_kissedqueersextherapyOther great resources:The documentary: "A Sexplanation" with Alex LiuThe book: Come as You Are: Revised by Emily NagoskiThe book: Bonk by Mary Roach______________P A R T N E R S mentioned in this episode:- Skillshare: Get 1 month free trial of premium membership at skillshare.com/abg.- Modern Fertility: Get 30% off your Modern Fertility Prenatal Multivitamin starter kit at modernfertility.com/ABG30 - Issuu: Get a free account or 50% off your premium account at ISSUU.com/podcast with code ABG- BetterHelp: Get 10% off your first month at betterhelp.com/ABG- Aurate: Get 20% off your order at auratenewyork.com/abg with code: abg- Quip: Get your first refill free and up to 40% off bundles at getquip.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.

In light of Thanksgiving, we wanted to share an older episode that is close to our hearts & serves as a reminder for us to be thankful (prev. Ep 91).People, Places, and things - in the most simple and direct translation, they are simply the definition of a noun. But these nouns are what make up experiences, the many experiences throughout our lives that have shaped us into who we are today. From the people who left a lasting impression on us, the places that are painted with memories, to the inanimate objects that feel more living than not...all of these experiences have left a lasting impression on us for different reasons. Today, we’ll be sharing our significant memories, specifically the people, places, and things that have made an impact on our lives.We hope you all have a great Thanksgiving!This episode was edited by Michelle Hsieh.______________P A R T N E R S mentioned in this episode:- Notion: Get started at notion.so- Athletic Greens: Get a free 1 year supply of Vitamin D & 5 free travel packs with your first purchase if you visit athleticgreens.com/abg- Neiwai: Get 20% off your first Neiwai order at https://neiwai.us/AsianBossGirl with code ABG- Prose: Get 15% off your first order at prose.com/abg- Olive & June: Get 25% off your order at oliveandjune.com/abg with code abg.

Many large life milestones typically occur in our 20s and 30s - Things like work promotions, moving to new cities, developing serious romantic relationships, buying a home, getting married, starting a family, etc. - all events and occurrences that are markers of growth and progress. Between these milestones are periods that can often feel like stagnancy. Nothing’s really wrong in life - in fact, things can feel pretty stable and ok, but so stable and ok that you feel like you’re on auto-pilot - not really inspired and not really excited, and not really growing. You find yourself wondering “what’s next”? Listen in as we talk through Mel's current state of transition, and as Helen and Janet share their past experiences with feeling lost and stuck too.

In today’s episode, we dig a little deeper with our parents, to hear & share the stories that they never told us. As we get older, we realize we (their children) are the only ones who will live to carry on our parents' journeys and legacies. From stories of their adolescence playing on the rooftops of a small village in China, to pains they felt in being separated from their own parents as they assimilated to America, to their meet-cute at a random mahjong night...we share all of this in today's episode. We hope these stories get some light as we pass down these never-been-shared tales from our parents & encourage you all to have these convos with your family members as you sit down for the holidays. ______________This episode was edited by Michelle Hsieh.P A R T N E R S mentioned in this episode:- Modern Fertility: Get 30% off your Modern Fertility Prenatal Multivitamin starter kit at modernfertility.com/ABG30 - ISSUU: Get a free account or 50% off your premium account at ISSUU.com/podcast with code ABG- AcornTV: Get 30 days free with code: abg at acorn.tv - Skillshare: Get 1 month free trial of premium membership at skillshare.com/abg.- First Republic Bank: Check them out at firstrepublic.com- Boll & Branch: Best Deals of the Year Going on now from 11/1-11/11 with promo code abg at bollandbranch.com.- Luna: Go to lunablanket.com & get 10% off with coupon code: ABGS H O U T OU 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.
