hot pursuit by AsianBossGirl

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.

This is one of the few shows all three of us have watched besides "Crash Landing On You", which was also a South Korean Series, so you know we had to do a review of this show too. There are so many reasons why the world is obsessed with Squid Game and this episode will be dedicated to our review of this phenomenon that has taken over all our social media feeds and Halloween costumes. There will be SPOILERS!!

However, thanks to modern assisted reproductive technology, there are different options available to a couple. Today, we will be mainly focusing on in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and egg-freezing.We brought on a special guest & infertility doctor, Dr. Huang. He is Board Certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility. He’s also a clinical instructor at the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine. Today, he will be walking through the IVF & Egg Freezing process and answering our listener-submitted questions.

**Disclaimer: This episode contains discussion about drug, alcohol use, sexual abuse, and addiction.**The topic of addiction is rather taboo in Asian culture, so it is often unaddressed and misunderstood. Many people are unaware, uneducated, unprepared, and suffer alone. Research has found that Asian-Americans between 18 and 25 drank heavily although they were considered a “low-risk group” with alcohol abuse, and that 14% of Asian-Americans or Pacific Islanders between 18 to 25 need substance abuse treatment — which is only slightly lower than the 21% average of other ethnic groups.September was National Recovery Month, and we were lucky to have Yvette join us in this conversation. Yvette is a Filipino-American, and certified addiction specialist. Yvette works with AADAP - The Asian American Drug Abuse Program dedicated to serving Asian Pacific Islanders and other under-served communities with substance abuse services throughout Los Angeles County. She’s here with us today to share her personal experience with addiction.This episode was edited by Michelle Hsieh.___P A R T N E R S mentioned in this episode:- Audible: Visit audible.com/abg or text abg to 500 500.- Aurate: Get 20% off your first order at AurateNewYork.com/abg with code abg.- Betterhelp: Get 10% off your first month at betterhelp.com/abg10.- Jinjer Oil: Get 20% off your first order at jinjer.us/abg.- LinkedIn Creator Accelerator: Visit LinkedIn.com/creators to apply today.- Skillshare: Get 1 month free trial of premium membership at skillshare.com/abg.S 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.
