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.

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.

From physically, emotionally, and verbally abusive bosses to countless stories of mismanagement, these are pretty heartbreaking to read.

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?

Breakups...ugh they suck! Sometimes it's a clean break. But more often than not, the period that follows can be messy and often left with words unsaid.

Episode 83: Attachment Theory and Me
Happy October everyone! This month, we are focused on the topic of self-exploration. And today, we will be talking about the fascinating theory of attachment styles. This theory has studied how parents/caregivers have played a significant role in the attachment styles of their children. As children interact with these caregivers as a secure base to explore from and return to, the response from these caregivers leads to the development of patterns of attachment for the child, i.e. are the parent’s responses loving, caring, angry? These interactions then guide the child’s thoughts, feelings, and expectations in later relationships in life, romantic or otherwise.In the late 1980s, psychologists noticed that interactions between adults are similar to those between children and caregivers. For example, adults feel comforted when those they are attached to are present, or they become anxious or lonely when they are absent. They observed that romantic relationships serve as a secure base that helps people to face the surprises, opportunities, and challenges that life presents.So today, we’re getting personal and going deep by analyzing our attachment styles!! There are four main styles of attachment: 1) secure attachment, 2) anxious-preoccupied attachment, 3) dismissive-avoidant attachment, and 4) fearful-avoidant attachment. Which do you think we'll be?Quizzes we took:https://dianepooleheller.com/attachment-test/#header https://yourpersonality.net/attachment/menu.php This episode was edited by Michelle Hsieh.---P A R T N E R S mentioned in this episode:- Audible: Get 1 credit to pick any title, plus access to unlimited Audible Originals each month at Audible.com/ABG- SchoolMaskPack: Get free shipping at SchoolMaskPack.com/ABG, code: ABG.- Mint Mobile: Get the unlimited wireless plan for $30 a month at Mintmobile.com/ABG- Pretty Litter: Get 20% off your first order at PretyLitter.com, code: ABG- Curology: Get a free 30-day trial at Curology.com/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 81: Finding the Right Career
This month, we are focused on the topic of careers and entrepreneurship. To find a career that is the right fit, it’s important to not only understand WHAT we want but WHO we are - what are we good at? Understanding our personal strengths, weaknesses, and work values is not a one-time exercise. It requires a lot of patience, dedication, and active energy to understand ourselves, and also account for all the ways in which we change over the span of our working years.
To prepare for this episode, we each took a number of evaluation tests that measure our skills, personality preferences, and work values. We’ll talk about everything from our inductive reasoning skills to structural visualization skills to dominance vs. influence and end with a fun Buzzfeed quiz to evaluate what career we should each be in.
Take the quizzes & follow along in our conversation as we dissect our results!
Quizzes we took:
Aptitude Test
DISC Test
What Career Should You Have?
