Episode 91: Parking Lots, Leftovers, and Jade Bracelets - The People, Places, & Things That Shape Us
People, Places, and things - in the most simple and direct translation, they are simply the definition of a noun. But these nouns are what makeup 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.In the Disney movie, “Inside Out”, they touch on the topic of “core memories”. Core Memories play a pivotal role in the film and are described as memories that feel more significant than regular memories. Core Memories essentially shape your personality and define who you are today.Today, we’ll be sharing our core memories, specifically the people, places, and things that have made an impact on our lives.This episode was edited by Michelle Hsieh.---P A R T N E R S mentioned in this episode:- Glossier: Get 10% off your first purchase at glossier.com/podcast/ABG- AAVRANI: Get 20% off your first order at AAVRANI.com with code ABG20- KiwiCo: Get 50% off your first month + FREE shopping on any crate line at kiwico.com with code ABG- Parade: Get 20% off your order at yourparade.com/ABG with code ABG- Mint Mobile: mintmobile.com/ABGS 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--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/message Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 88: Gratitude Takes Effort - Here's How We Do It
One can argue that gratitude is the most powerful of human emotions. There have been studies that show that the benefits of practicing gratitude include: improved physical health, better sleep, greater happiness, more self-esteem, stronger relationships, greater resilience, less anxiety, reduced symptoms of depression, and so much more. Practicing gratitude not only helps you to feel more grounded and peaceful, but it also improves your ability to share that love with others. To give back. To say thank you. And to re-commit to your inner values.However, gratitude doesn’t come easy for most of us. The fact is, we’re built for survival, not happiness, and therefore, gratitude takes effort. Join us as we practice a gratitude exercise together, and share ways we implement it in each of our lives.Leave a comment below about something you are grateful for :)This episode was edited by Michelle Hsieh.---P A R T N E R S mentioned in this episode:- Orgain: 20% off first purchase + extra savings when you subscribe at TryOrgain.com/ABG- BetterHelp: Get 10% off your first month at betterhelp.com/ABG10- Audible: 1 credit to pick any title + access to unlimited Audible Originals each month at Audible.com/ABG OR text ABG to 500 500- Thrive Market: Free gift up to $24 in value at ThriveMarket.com/ABG- KiwiCo: 50% off first month + Free shipping on any crate line at kiwico.com with code ABGS 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--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/message Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 87: The Haunting of Your Corporate Horror Stories
Happy early Halloween everyone!! In episode 79, we shared with you all some of our spooky horror stories from our time working in corporate.Not a lot of us like to air out our dirty laundry when it comes to our jobs, out of fear of looking like a disgruntled worker, or even the possibility of getting fired. But we asked you on IG if you were open to sharing, and to our surprise, our DMs were FLOODED with your messages. From physically, emotionally, and verbally abusive bosses to countless stories of mismanagement, these are pretty heartbreaking to read. It seems there isn’t enough done to combat these toxic work environments.At the end of the day, we’re all in this together. And the more we share, the more we know that we’re not alone in these experiences. So on theme with this weekend’s Halloween celebrations, we decided to share some of YOUR work-related horror stories!This episode was edited by Michelle Hsieh.---P A R T N E R S mentioned in this episode:- Glossier: Get 10% off your first order at Glossier.com/podcast/ABG.- Function of Beauty: Get 20% off your first order at FunctionofBeauty.com/ABG- Spanx: Get 10% off order + free shipping/returns at spanx.com/ABG- PrettyLitter: Get 20% off your first order at prettylitter.com code: abg- AcornTV: 30 days free at acorn.tv code: abgS U B S C R I B E T O U S !- podcast: spoti.fi/2w8tk1n- instagram: instagram.com/asianbossgirl- youtube: bit.ly/3ep2Dqp- website: asianbossgirl.comE – M A I L U S !- asianbossgirl@gmail.comS U P P O R T U S !- merch: asianbossgirl.myshopify.com- donation: anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/support--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/message Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 86: Birds, Whales, Fails, and All the Scary Tales -- Our Greatest Fears!!
This month, we are focusing on the topic of Self Exploration, and as we near the end of October and edge closer to the spooktacular day of Hallow’s Eve, otherwise known as Halloween, we thought it would be appropriate to dedicate an episode to OUR GREATEST FEARS!!Fear is one of the seven universal emotions experienced by everyone around the world. Fear arises with the threat of harm, either physical, emotional, or psychological, real, or imagined. While traditionally considered a “negative” emotion, fear actually serves an important role in keeping us safe as it mobilizes us to cope with potential danger.Today, we discuss everything from surface-level phobias like clowns, whales, birds, holes??? to deeply significant life fears, like lack of direction, failure, public speaking, and all.What would you add to this list?
