Episode 75: ABBs Talk Lifestyle & Careers, ft. Philip Wang and Tim Hwang
In Episode 58, we welcomed two ABBs in their 20s to the pod, and things got juicy! (Hello Jason and Mike!). Today, we are upping the average age with two very special ABBs in their 30s, Philip Wang and Tim Hwang. In this part 1 of 2 series, we focus on the topic of Lifestyle and Career. What is a piece of advice these men have for their younger selves? In their 20s, what did they envision 30 to be like? What's it really like now? It's an episode filled with deep reflection and even deeper, heartier laughs. Join us in this fun conversation, and keep your eye out for next week's episode, where we continue the series to talk about Dating and Loveee ;)!

Episode 74: What's Your Number (Enneagram, that is)?
The Enneagram is a personality model made up of 9 types. We have had a couple of episodes in which we analyze each other’s personalities - there was Episode 14 where we discussed each of our horoscopes and zodiac signs, and Episode 17 which focused on our Meyers Briggs personality types. Our listeners have requested that we also dedicate an episode to the Enneagram - so here it is! We review each of our results, discuss how accurate we think this test is, what shocked us the most about our results, and get into some very deep and personal analyses about our fears and values.
Have you taken the Enneagram test? Share your results with us in the comments below!

Episode 73: What is #GIRLBOSS Culture?
Girlboss - What is the movement associated with this term all about? In today's chaotic social and economic climate, many systems and structures are being called into question, and the #girlboss movement is no exception. Join us as we discuss the history of this movement, what it represented, and where it went wrong. We reflect on how each of us was personally affected or influenced by the #girlboss movement, its role in relation to AsianBossGirl, and how all the recent criticisms of this movement has impacted our future plans for AsianBossGirl.

Episode 72: How Well Do We Know Each Other?
We have been friends for over 5 years now (working together for 3 of those years) - we've recorded over 70 episodes together, spent many late nights meeting for both work and play, exchange messages on the daily (if not hourly), and have gone on multiple international trips together. But how well do we really know each other? Listen and find out as we guess each other's answers to questions about our careers, love and sex, friends and family, childhood, favorite foods, and some juicy random questions (the answers to which you may not want to know, like... who doesn't flush their toilet paper down the toilet?? haha).
If you liked what you heard, leave a 🧻 emoji in the comments.

The time has come... the moment Mel has been waiting for, for OH SO LONG! We’re finally reviewing the popular K-drama that has taken over the world by storm -- Crash Landing on You!! From the scenes that made our hearts flutter (helloOo Captain Ri) to the parts that made our jaws drop... we’re going to chat through all of that today, while also discussing why this show plays such a huge role in the Hallyu Wave (global rise & popularity of South Korean culture).
So if any of you have NOT watched the series yet, we give you permission to pause this podcast to either: 1) listen to an older ABG episode, or 2) watch CLOY immediately & tune into our debrief after ;) yes, THERE WILL BE SPOILERS!
Take a listen & leave a 🪂 (parachute!) if you resonated with today's episode!

Episode 69: My Vag
This episode is dedicated to the wonderous, sensual, powerful, confusing, beautiful, sometimes hairy topic of… our Vajayjays! We indirectly touched upon our vaginas on Episode 24: Periods & Poop. And seeing that May was Women’s Health Month, we were reminded that it was about time we dedicate another episode to a very active part of our bodies. Listen in as we discuss everything from anatomy to personal first experiences, to what our vaginas would be if they each had a monologue.
Thank you to listeners Sabrina L. and Yoni C., for writing in and sharing helpful women's health information ;)

Episode 68: Coming Out Part 2
"Coming out is a journey."- Justin R
"Coming out never ends."- Anna Lee
Sending you all love for Pride Month! In Episode 66, we were joined by our close friends, Anna and Justin. Anna shared her complex experience of confronting her sexuality and identity as someone who grew up in a deeply religious family, and Justin shared his fears, reservations, and feeling of freedom from finally addressing his sexuality and identity as a public figure for the first time. Today, the conversation continues in part 2. We dive deeper into their journies in owning the identities of queer and gay, navigating family relations, coming out (again) at work, dating, and learning how to become more involved in the queer community.
Take a listen & leave a 🌈 if you resonated with today's episode.

Episode 67: Black Lives Matter & Allyship
This past week, you may have noticed that we held back our regularly scheduled content to focus on the Black Lives Matter movement. To us, nothing is more important than life itself, and when our black and brown brothers and sisters have lost too many of their lives to the injustices built into America’s systems, we need to pause and reflect on how we, as Asian Americans, can do our part to help.We are outraged at the death of George Floyd, Breona Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and so many more unarmed black people whose names are not currently in the news. We are outraged at the persistence of police brutality, at the treatment of protestors, at white privilege, at systemic racism, and at our president. We are donating, e-mailing representatives, using our voice amongst our spheres of influence, and encouraging the people we know to do the same. So we hope that with this episode, we can continue to discuss, listen and learn from one another.Comment below with stories of the conversations that you're having with your loved ones. What was the most difficult part of the conversation? What would be helpful to hear from another ABG in the community? Share with us also any resources that you've found helpful to you.*We will be donating a portion of the ad revenue generated from this episode to various organizations supporting the Black Lives Matter movement.This episode was edited by Michelle Hsieh.---P A R T N E R S mentioned in this episode:- Skillshare: 2 free months of premium membership with code: ABG www.skillshare.com/ABG- Function of Beauty: 20% off your first box with code: ABG at www.functionofbeauty.com- Shipstation: 60-day free trial with code: ABG at shipstation.com- BetterHelp: 10% off first month at BetterHelp.com/ABGS U B S C R I B E T O U S !- youtube: bit.ly/3ep2Dqp- instagram: instagram.com/asianbossgirl- website: asianbossgirl.comE – M A I L U S !- asianbossgirl@gmail.comS U P P O R T U S !- merch: asianbossgirl.com/shop- donation: anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/support--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/message Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 66: Coming Out with Anna Lee and Justin Rodjanapanyakul
This episode comes at the cusp of May and June - one month celebrating Asian Pacific American Heritage, and the other, LGBTQI with Pride month. Identity plays such a big role in a person’s life, and there are so many facets to it. In this episode, we explore sexual orientation, specifically, homosexuality, and the nuances of what that means when you’re Asian American. Our two guests are very good friends of ours and after having many of these types of conversations offline, we are so happy to offer our platform for them to share their stories.Anna Lee is a very close friend of Mel's who resides in San Francisco where she works at Facebook as a Business Lead for Entertainment. Anna goes by the pronouns of she/her and identifies as queer. Justin Rodjanapanyakul is a close friend of all 3 of ours (you might recognize him in some of our Instagram posts where he has graciously offered his photography skills). Justin is based in the Los Angeles area where he is a musician and YouTuber, known as one half of the duo, JRodTwins. Justin goes by the pronouns he/his and his sexual orientation is gay.If you resonated with today's guests, leave a <3 emoji in the comments!This episode edited by Michelle Hsieh.---P A R T N E R S mentioned in this episode:- Daily Harvest: $25 off your first box with code: ABG at https://bit.ly/2yeYVze- Shipstation: 60-day free trial with code: ABG at shipstation.comS U B S C R I B E T O U S !- 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.com/shop- donation: anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/support--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/message Learn more about your ad choices.
