hot pursuit by AsianBossGirl

Finding love through our podcast is something Janet & Mel both thought they would potentially achieve. A lot of their friends joke around asking if anyone has slid through the DM’s or if listeners have sent potential matches & the answer is no LOL However, it looks like some of our guests are having better luck finding love through our ABG podcast. If you remember Ep 66 & Ep 68, we brought on our good friend Anna Lee to talk through her coming out story. We later found out that another ABG listener, Amy, really connected with Anna’s story and made her move.

It's been a while since we caught up with you all on our dating adventures on the apps, so in today's episode, we share some of our recent experiences -- conversations via text, a video chat, a couple of in-person dates, drafting and sending hard messages, and getting unexpected responses. We're curious what dating has been like for all of you these past couple of months -- let us know in the comments!

It's the month of Valentine’s Day, so I'm sure your feed is not short on sweet, lovey-dovey content about romance. But let's be real - romantic love isn’t all butterflies and rainbows, and especially in our mid-20s and onward, it often takes on a different weight. Romantic love during this period in life can be incredibly complex – working through each individual’s past relationship “traumas”, ourselves changing and figuring out who we are and what type of partner we are most compatible with, and not to mention differing communication styles and potentially different future goals that evolve during the relationship. Often times a breakup is not just a “change of heart”, but due to multiple factors. To kick-off "the month of love", we are dedicating an episode to that period when a romantic relationship starts to devolve, and eventually ends. Leave a 💔in the comments if you feel us on this topic!

Today we’re going to be talking about Burnout. What is it? Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress. It occurs when you feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, and unable to meet constant demands. This is a topic that we have been seeing EVERYWHERE - We're seeing people post about it on social media, hearing about and seeing it amongst our friends and family, reading about it in articles…and we personally were feeling it HEAVILY at the end of the year. So we want to take some time today to get into the topic of burnout, and more importantly, what we can do about it.

Welcome to a NEW YEAR! In this FIRST episode of 2022, we focus on goal setting in a non-traditional way. Instead of discussing our goals in a list format, we opted for a future self journaling exercise inspired by Jenn Im's vlog where she journals a "future day-in-the-life". This activity can help focus one's desires and goals. Listen in as Mel, Helen, and Janet each share a "future day-in-the-life". What do each of our journal entries reveal about the life we want? Try this exercise out yourself and let us know if you enjoy it!

And together, through all the ups and downs, the many trials and tribulations we’ve all inevitably faced throughout this year, and the moments of happiness and gratitude that have lifted us and kept us moving from day to day, we have all made it through to the end of a wild year. Welcome to the end of a new beginning. Well, in ABG fashion –we’re going to dedicate this episode to reflect on this past year.

It’s been awhile since we’ve had an episode on female sexuality. We know this topic can be a bit taboo in our culture, and maybe among some of your friendship circles as well. As Asian women, our relationship with our sexuality can be incredibly complicated and nuanced. At times it may be disheartening that we cannot control society’s dialogue about Asian women and sexuality, but we can start by controlling our own personal narratives with our sexuality. Join us for a conversation with Anna Lee, co-founder of Lioness, the women-led sexual health startup that built the world's first and only smart vibrator that gives biofeedback data to help people learn more about their own bodies and improve their understanding of sexual pleasure. Anna is a big advocate in Lioness’s mission to expand research in sexual health and to destigmatize female sexuality. This episode was edited by Michelle Hsieh.

In light of Thanksgiving, we wanted to share an older episode that is close to our hearts & serves as a reminder for us to be thankful (prev. Ep 91). People, Places, and things - in the most simple and direct translation, they are simply the definition of a noun. But these nouns are what make up 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. Today, we’ll be sharing our significant memories, specifically the people, places, and things that have made an impact on our lives. We hope you all have a great Thanksgiving!

Many large life milestones typically occur in our 20s and 30s - Things like work promotions, moving to new cities, developing serious romantic relationships, buying a home, getting married, starting a family, etc. - all events and occurrences that are markers of growth and progress. Between these milestones are periods that can often feel like stagnancy. Nothing’s really wrong in life - in fact, things can feel pretty stable and ok, but so stable and ok that you feel like you’re on auto-pilot - not really inspired and not really excited, and not really growing. You find yourself wondering “what’s next”? Listen in as we talk through Mel's current state of transition, and as Helen and Janet share their past experiences with feeling lost and stuck too.

In today’s episode, we dig a little deeper with our parents, to hear & share the stories that they never told us. As we get older, we realize we (their children) are the only ones who will live to carry on our parents' journeys and legacies. From stories of their adolescence playing on the rooftops of a small village in China, to pains they felt in being separated from their own parents as they assimilated to America, to their meet-cute at a random mahjong night...we share all of this in today's episode. We hope these stories get some light as we pass down these never-been-shared tales from our parents & encourage you all to have these convos with your family members as you sit down for the holidays. ______________ This episode was edited by Michelle Hsieh.

"Squid Game" is a South Korean Netflix show that has taken the world by storm! It's eerie, it keeps you on your feet, and it leaves you guessing after each episode. This is one of the few shows all three of us have watched besides "Crash Landing On You", which was also a South Korean Series, so you know we had to do a review of this show too. There are so many reasons why the world is obsessed with Squid Game and this episode will be dedicated to our review of this phenomenon that has taken over all our social media feeds and Halloween costumes. There will be SPOILERS!! So feel free to come back to this episode at a later time if you haven't watched it yet ;) If you listen through to the end of this episode, leave us a "squid" emoji in the comments of our latest Instagram post!

According to UCLA Health, 15% of couples have trouble conceiving. It’s really unfortunate and an emotional journey for many. However, thanks to modern assisted reproductive technology, there are different options available to a couple. Today, we will be mainly focusing on in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and egg-freezing. We brought on a special guest & infertility doctor, Dr. Huang. He is Board Certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility. He’s also a clinical instructor at the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine. Today, he will be walking through the IVF & Egg Freezing process and answering our listener-submitted questions. From how much it cost, the age at which your eggs decrease, to other methods to check your fertility. This was such an informative podcast session for us and we hope you gained more knowledge as well on this one!

**Disclaimer: This episode contains discussion about drug, alcohol use, sexual abuse, and addiction.** The topic of addiction is rather taboo in Asian culture, so it is often unaddressed and misunderstood. Many people are unaware, uneducated, unprepared, and suffer alone. Research has found that Asian-Americans between 18 and 25 drank heavily although they were considered a “low-risk group” with alcohol abuse, and that 14% of Asian-Americans or Pacific Islanders between 18 to 25 need substance abuse treatment — which is only slightly lower than the 21% average of other ethnic groups. September was National Recovery Month, and we were lucky to have Yvette join us in this conversation. Yvette is a Filipino-American, and certified addiction specialist. Yvette works with AADAP - The Asian American Drug Abuse Program dedicated to serving Asian Pacific Islanders and other under-served communities with substance abuse services throughout Los Angeles County. She’s here with us today to share her personal experience with addiction.

And baby makes 3! We talk a lot about changes and transitions on this podcast. One of the most beautiful, emotional, exciting, unexpected transitions a woman can go through is pregnancy.

Being a mother is something Helen always dreamed of, but along with the joy of knowing she’s expanding her family, comes the emotional & physical journey of bearing a child.

We didn't expect this episode to take such an emotional turn. In Episode 133, we discuss the customs and celebrations associated with the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival. In this episode, we dig deeper into the meaning behind the holiday - concepts of gathering, thanksgiving, prayer, and the symbolism of the moon. We spend some time personally reflecting on how we each plan to practice these concepts in the coming year. Join us in this conversation and let us know how you plan to practice these concepts too!

The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival or Mooncake Festival, is the second-most important holiday after Chinese New Year, dating back 3,000 years when China’s emperor worshipped the moon for bountiful harvests. On this day, it is believed that the moon is at its brightest and fullest size. As we get older, we have grown a genuine interest in these traditions that we used to not think twice about, or even find to be a nuisance. And as we think about the nature of these traditions and celebrations, we start to dig deeper into the root of why we celebrate them and what the deeper meaning or purpose is, especially as we begin to build our own families and think about how we want to celebrate with our children. This year, the Mid-Autumn Festival falls on September 21st. Tune in to how we individually celebrated this festival with our family, and how we plan to celebrate this holiday going forward. How do you plan to celebrate this year?

Let’s be real! The invites for weddings start to pile up as we get older and fill up our social calendars. In our first season, we talked about our fantasies of our dream weddings, but we realized that there’s a perspective that we didn’t talk about...attending a wedding as a guest! Whether the waves of weddings have just begun or you’ve attended a handful the last 10 years, there are a lot of traditions and unspoken things you need to know as a guest. From how much money to gift, do you bring a +1, to things you should expect when attending a wedding. So for this episode, we walk through the tips we learned, the different cultural ceremonies we’ve attended, and share some fun & cringe-worthy stories as wedding guests!

It is officially September and we are fast approaching the fall season. Many of us are gearing ourselves back up after those summer months - re-adjusting to more structured schedules, trying to figure out how to better manage our growing to-do lists, and making sure that what needs to get done, gets done! So in today’s episode, we’re going to talk about productivity. Each of us has worked in very different industries, settings, and roles and we want to reflect and share the things we’ve learned along the way.

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?

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!

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.

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?). Listen in to find out!

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.

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.

Listen in as we share what we have been up to personally, aside from ABG - Janet went on a rejuvinating roadtrip with some close friends, Mel shares her lessons learned from her first time being in a bridal party (and as a Maid of Honor, no less), and Helen gets officially married in the midst of buying and renovating a new home.

We get a lot of messages about relationships - both romantic and platonic.

Do you remember your high school best friend and are they still a part of your life? Tune in as we recount the friendships that have made a lasting impact on our lives!

Why is verbalizing or expressing love to our parents so hard? Growing up, many of us did not use words of affirmation as a love language with our parents. It could be mostly due to our contrasting generational Asian upbringing or the difference in language. Regardless, there are so many unspoken words of love and gratitude that we haven’t shared with them. As kids, we saw our parents as the people who’d nag us, drive us to our practices, automatically pack our lunch boxes for us, etc. However, as we get older, we start to see them as more than just our moms or dads. We start to see them as humans and understand the struggle that they came from to truly provide the best for us, their children. Today, we take the time to read letters that we each wrote to express our appreciation, love, and unspoken words to our moms and dads. Also, Happy (belated) Mother's Day to all the mom and mom figures out there!

Today’s episode is about dating and relationships. We have a lot of episodes about this general topic, but we haven’t given a real proper update about each of our personal situations (or lack of situations) more recently. And we realized that the three of us are actually uniquely positioned to talk about romantic relationships from very different perspectives. We'll be talking about Janet's recent could've-been-the-one relationship, Mel's quarantine flings in 2021, and the biggest thing Helen is working through in her relationship.

Romantic relationships are one of the most challenging types of relationships to navigate. And while some connections hold strong and end in a beautiful lifetime together, many fizzle out. In episode 85, we each wrote a letter to our exes. It was the first time we got that open and vulnerable with one of our past relationships on this podcast! And so many of you enjoyed hearing our letters, especially the idea that opening old wounds and memories can actually be a healing process, if approached with gratitude in mind. In this episode, Janet takes it one step further and has a conversation with an ex. His name is Wesley Chan (we call him Wes), and their relationship was a meaningful one, though short-lived. He is also one of the co-founders of WongFu Productions, and a good friend of ours. This will also be the first time they reflect back on their college relationship together, the first time, in 17 years! That’s all we’ll say for now -- but we hope you enjoy this chat between two good friends, once lovers.

According to a Business Insider article, some people say that it takes just 3 seconds for us to make up our minds about whether we like someone or want to do business with them. It seems then, that first impressions are pretty important when trying to land that job or internship. And you only ever get ONE with each person you meet - whether you join that company or not. Beyond just making a first impression, interviewing can be a nerve-wracking experience, and it can differ a lot between different industries. Today, we’re going to share some of our personal experiences with interviewing for jobs and internships!

Upon her return to San Francisco, she finds her city overturned with crime and corruption from the Triads. How will Nicky use her martial arts and Shaolin practice to protect her hometown? Can she protect her family from corruption? I guess we’ll have to ask our friend and star of the show, Olivia Liang, these tough questions! Get to know Olivia Liang in today's episode!!

March is Women's History Month, and in light of the tragic hate crime that occurred in Atlanta on March 16, 2021 - the killing of 7 women, 6 of whom were of Asian descent - there is even more reason for us to uplift, discuss, and celebrate what it means to be a woman in today's world. Join us as we recognize and talk about women who inspire us, who move us, and serve as motivation for us - women we think are beautiful (however we define beauty), women who challenge us, and women who make us feel proud to identify as women. We also talk about our personal experiences with our womanhood - what being a woman today means to each of us, personally. And to our ABGs and ABBs who are coping with what it means to be an Asian woman in today's world - We’re here with you, we see you, and we love you all. Who are women that inspire you?

In previous episodes, we have analyzed our astrological signs, as well as learned the art and science of matchmaking. Today, we’re going to take both subjects one step further and talk about astrology-based matchmaking. Does such a thing exist? According to Rachel Lo, the CEO and Co-Founder of Struck - an astrology-based dating app prioritizing intentional conversations and emotional intelligence - the answer is, yes. Rachel is a former Apple product design engineer turned matchmaker, who, despite her STEM background, turned to astrology in her mid-twenties to help make sense of the world around her.

Friend, Daughter, Podcast host -- are all titles that the three of us have in common. Today, we want to explore another title we share... Sister! The three of us are fortunate to have grown up with either a younger sibling or an older sibling. From causing havoc in the house together, someone to be our parent’s guinea pig, to having someone to get you out of trouble...there is no one else in the world that has seen us or gone through things alongside us like our brother & sisters. As we start to get older, it’s setting in how cool and fortunate we are to have our “forever friends” in our life. Today, we’ll be sharing all the fun & annoying love of our relationships with our one and only, siblings. Thanks Anne, Brandon, and Patti for joining us today!
