Friendships. One of the most important elements in our lives. From the people you go out with on Friday nights to the individuals you can always depend on during tough times...some can say our friends are AS important as family. From a young age, we are taught the idea of friendships and it’s basic foundations/needs. But as we grow older and our interests, values, and where we are in life change, our relationships with our friends change as well. Some remain present in our lives and some relationships take other forms. In today’s episode, we want to talk about the different types of friends/friendships we had in our stages of life, what happens when you grow apart, and how we define a good friendship. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/message Learn more about your ad choices.

Happy Thanksgiving from the AsianBossGirl team! It’s been over a year now since we’ve started this podcast journey, and we fully recognize that we would not be here without the incredible talents and support of our team (Philip Wang, Kihong Lee, Eric Wang, and Michelle Hsieh!). We also know we wouldn’t be 3 seasons in without all of the gracious love and support from all of YOU! Now more than ever, we see the importance of sharing stories, relating, and growing together in a unified, supportive way. Thank you from the bottom of our soon to be very full bellies. We hope this is only the beginning of a much larger movement for all of us ABGs + ABBs x — In line w/ today’s celebration of thankfulness, we talk about the little things we’re thankful for (think: lash glue, other families babies, facetime) to the bigger things (think: mommas, friends, bros).

Before ABG, there was ABM: Asian Boss Moms. In today’s episode, we talk about our mothers’ specific journeys to the west. Their stories help define who we are as individuals/daughters/sons and provide the context of how we were raised, our values/morals, and the lessons we were taught. In this episode, we share OUR mothers’ personal immigration stories, and we know these do not represent every immigrants’ journey. There are so many varied experiences we need to capture and share. We encourage you to learn about your personal history and ask your family about their immigration story --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/message Learn more about your ad choices.

Hello, hello! We are BACK with another fun-filled season PACKed with juicy episodes, a few guest speakers near and dear to our hearts (ABMs!) and other topics that we’ve gathered from YOU (our listeners). The three of us have had quite an eventful summer, from promotions, to travel, to welp -- aging. In this episode, we’ll catch you up on what we have been up to and also focus heavily on the non-social media, non-fabricated side of travel. What is it really like to relocate and live in another city/country? From elation to frustration to a love/hate relationship. “Home” genuinely becomes the most loaded, beautiful, and yet pull-at-the-heartstrings word you could ever imagine. The expat experience sounds like a dream, but there’s so much to it that makes it not so much of a fantasy. Join us as we share our experiences with being away from our definition of “home”, in travel. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/message Learn more about your ad choices.

As a podcast focused on the perspective of modern day Asian American women, we thought it would be fitting to dedicate an episode to highlighting the Asian women who have influenced us. We talk about Asian American women of today and also reminisce about those who shaped us growing up - noting that we were drawn to unconventional sources because of the lack of AA representation (Sailor Moon anyone?). We discuss the importance of relatability versus influence, and how the changing media landscape has affected the amount and types of role models available to Asian American women today. Listen in on this meaningful discussion to celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage month! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/message Learn more about your ad choices.

We’re back with another Q&A episode! We've been getting an overwhelming amount of messages, emails, and DMs from you all, and it's been super encouraging for our team to read every morning (thank you!) As much as all the messages reassures us this podcast was the right thing to do, we’re not always able to respond to every one... but we see and read all of them! That’s why we love incorporating these episodes into the season! It finally allows us to respond back and engage with you all. This time around we answer questions ranging from our love language, our Asian American upbringing, how to build confidence in the work place, and...dare we say it...masturbation. Take a listen and please continue to send us questions. We’ll make sure to add it to our list! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/message Learn more about your ad choices.

Breakups are never easy. They’re confusing, hurtful, lonely, empty, infuriating, and aren’t the same for any two people. No matter how many times you’ve experienced a breakup, it never gets easier. These days, what we see on Instagram and other social media platforms is a euphoric state of life; that everything is perfect. We see couples head over heels for one another, but we know that image is only a glimpse into a moment, candid or not. There will always be some level of tension in a relationship, anything from I’m annoyed that he didn’t text me all day, to something as major as cheating and I have to place my mistrust behind a facade of reassurance. We’ve talked about problem solving in Episode 16. But what happens when you can’t solve those problems any longer? And how do we deal with the [<3] pain? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/message Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
