Episode 129: For the 90s Kid in All of Us
Mel, Janet, and Helen are 90s kids, two of us being 80s babies. And this past year or so, we’ve been seeing a very quick rise of 90s comeback fashion, especially amongst those who were born in the 2000s. It’s been a bit strange to see flares, bell bottoms, spaghetti straps, fanny packs, and bucket hats make a comeback, but we thought it’d be fun to have an episode where we reminisce about the actual 90s and early 2000s trends that we lived through and grew up with! Because who knows? Maybe some of the stuff we talk about in this episode will actually be coming back in the next year or so! If you were a child of the 90s/early 2000s (and even if you weren't), what was your favorite trend?This episode was edited by Michelle Hsieh.___P A R T N E R S mentioned in this episode:- Girlfriend Collective: Get $25 off $100 or more at girlfriend.com/ABG- Issuu: Get your FREE account or 50% off your premium account with code ABG at issuu.com/podcast- Ritual Vitamin: Get 10% off your first 3 months at ritual.com/ABG- Boll & Branch: Get 15% of your first set of sheets with code abg at bollandbranch.com- Blueland: Get 15% off your first order at blueland.com/ABG- Betabrand: Get 30% off your order at betabrand.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.

Episode 128: From Shared Rooms to Homeowning - The Places We’ve Called Home
So a topic that comes up quite frequently in our post-college 20s and 30s, when we’re freshly moved out of our parent's homes, is about the roof over our heads!! Where do you live?? Are you renting? Are you thinking about buying? What are you looking for in a house? What does your dream house look like? These are questions we’ve had to think about ever since entering our ‘adult years’.We are all in pretty different places in our lives, with Janet owning her first condo & having lived here for 4 years, Mel having just upgraded to an apartment with her own room + bathroom (she shared a bathroom for the last 3 years), and Helen just becoming a new homeowner!Listen as we retrace the different places we called home!This episode was edited by Michelle Hsieh.___P A R T N E R S mentioned in this episode:- AcornTV: Try 30 days for free with code ABG at acorn.tv - Peloton: Try 30 days for free classes at onepeloton.com - Glamnetic: Get 30% off the first order at glamnetic.com/abg - Sakara: Get 20% off your first order at Sakara.com/ABG or enter code ABG at checkout- ABC Bachelor in Paradise: Premieres Monday at 8/7 central on ABG- Zoc Doc: Sign up for the app for free at zocdoc.com/abg S 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.

Episode 127: Waxed, Vaxxed and Totally Awkward
Summer is usually a time when we all get outdoors, gather with friends and family, and generally interact with a lot of people. However, this summer season is a unique one - as we are on “what we hope to be” the tail end of a global pandemic. By now, we hope you all are vaccinated or are on your way to getting vaccinated. I know it may feel as if COVID is no longer a big issue, but variants of COVID are developing and starting to pose a large threat, and the longer we delay getting more people vaccinated, the longer it will take for all of this to pass.Thanks to the U.S Department of Health and Human Services for making this episode happen. Go to vaccines.gov for further vaccine info and find a vaccine near you. Everyone 12 and over is eligible.This episode was edited by Michelle Hsieh.___P A R T N E R S mentioned in this episode:- Betterhelp: Get 10% off your first month at betterhelp.com/ABG10.- Faherty: Get 20% off your purchase at fahertybrand.com with code ABG.- First Republic: firstrepublic.com.- Honey: Get Honey for FREE at joinhoney.com/ABG.- Skillshare: Get a free trial of Premium Membership at skillshare.com/ABG. - Zola: Get 50% off your save the dates at zola.com/ABG with code SAVE50.

Episode 126: Transforming the Business of Dance with The Kinjaz, feat. Anthony Lee and Mike Song
In 2015, the Kinjaz blew up on Season 8 of America's Best Dance Crew, massively changing the industry of dance and how Asians are perceived in media and entertainment. As admirers, we saw how impactful it was for our Asian American peers to see dancers with faces like theirs, tear it up on stage. Mike Song and Anthony Lee are two of the founding members of the Kinjaz and in this episode, they share with us the crazy and inspiring journey they've been on (How did they go from dance performances to plant-based noodles? What is the dance scene in China like? What was the first dance move they learned? What would they be doing if not dance?).

Episode 124: Young, Tamil, and the Star of Netflix's "Never Have I Ever", Maitreyi Ramakrishnan
Never Have I Ever came onto the Netflix scene in April of 2020 and has since been described as a watershed moment for South Asian representation in Hollywood. Known for breaking Asian stereotypes, the series was created by Mindy Kaling and Lang Fisher and is a coming-of-age comedy and teen drama partially based on Kaling’s childhood. Today, our guest, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, captured the hearts of many by playing the main character, Devi, an Indian American high school student coping with her father's death. Tune in as she shares about growing up in Mississauga, whom Maitreyi would choose of her two on-TV love interests: Paxton or Ben?!, and what it means to represent for the Tamil community at such a young age in the world of Hollywood.This episode was edited by Michelle Hsieh.___P A R T N E R S mentioned in this episode:- AcornTV: Try Acorn TV free for 30 days at Acorn.TV with code ABG.- Betterhelp: Get 10% off your first month at betterhelp.com/ABG10.- Credit Karma: Open your free account at creditkarma.com/winmoney.- Firstleaf: Get 6 bottles of wine for $29.95 and free shipping at tryfirstleaf.com/ABG.- First Republic: firstrepublic.com.- Uncommon Goods: Get 15% off first purchase at UncommonGoods.com/ABG.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.

Episode 121: Hot Girl Summer Then & Now
It is officially summer! And we could not be more excited!! We thought it would be fun to share our favorite summer memories from when we were kids, since summer marked the end of the school year & summer vacation was actually a thing -- remember those days?For anyone who hasn't heard of the term “Hot Girl Summer” just yet, Coach Meg aka Megan thee Stallion said it best -- “Hot girl summer is about just being you, just having fun. It’s turning up, driving the boat, and not giving a damn about what nobody’s saying.” Welp, we don't have a boat, but we're ready to not give a damn and turn UP this summer! Even if it means turning up under the covers with a nice, cozy nap :). What are you excited for this summer??
