hot pursuit by AsianBossGirl

Today we are going to be talking about...Boobs. Breasts, tits, hoohahs, boobies - whatever you want to call them, they are a noteworthy part of the human body, and hold particular anatomical and symbolic meaning. Different people will conjure up different associations and ideals when it comes to the topic of boobs. Today, we want to discuss it from the perspective of 3 cis-gendered Asian American women. We’re going to talk about our personal experiences: what our boobs mean to us, recalling our relationship with them through those awkward teenage years, reflecting on social perceptions (for example the idea that Asian women have particularly small boobs), bra and personality associations, and more. If you enjoyed this episode, tell us about your first training bra in the comments!

In the last month, the U.S. has seen a massive spike in anti-Asian hate crimes. According to The Cut, there were 20 incidents in the first half of 2020 alone, compared to 1 in the entire year of 2019. These activities have prompted intense sadness, frustration, anger, and fear amidst the Asian and Asian American community. Today, we have Tammy Cho & Michelle Hanabusa, co-founders of Hate Is A Virus, a community of mobilizers and amplifiers that exists to dismantle racism and hate. Tammy & Michelle started Hate Is A Virus in April 2020 in response to the rise in hate crimes against Asian American Pacific Islanders due to the pandemic. Join in today as we process the recent events, learn more about the initiatives at Hate Is A Virus, and discuss ways to take action to #StopAsianHate. To learn more about Hate Is A Virus, check out @hateisavirus_ and https://hateisavirus.org/.

On today's episode, we pick the brain of the mastermind behind the "To All the Boys I've Loved Before" trilogy, Jenny Han! She is a #1 New York Times bestselling author and also the executive producer on all three of the Netflix films - "To All the Boys I've Loved Before", "To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You", and the final film, "To All the Boys: Always and Forever" (out now!) When her first film came out on Netflix, we all watched the movie and relished in the sweet nostalgia of young love, re-living the butterflies from first crushes, feeling the blush in our cheeks from awkward “firsts”, and wiping away hot tears that stain a naive heart. Lara Jean & Peter Kavinsky have clearly captured the hearts of America, and today, we think Jenny Han will capture yours. If you've watched the final film, let us know what you think!

Join us as we chat with our friend and Bling Empire star, Kevin Kreider. As residents of LA working on projects promoting Asian American representation, we met Kevin years ago through our friends at Wongfu Productions, whose shorts Kevin has acted in. And Kevin actually hosted a gala where ABG received our first cultural impact award from APEX in 2019. In this episode, we talk about both the Kevin in Bling Empire and the Kevin BEFORE Bling Empire - the Kevin who worked as a model and fitness coach while running his own production company called Taejin Entertainment LLC. The Kevin who has been an advocate of redefining Asian masculinity for many years and has been a motivational speaker at places like TedX and Google about reclaiming Asian male sexuality in America.

To many brides and grooms, the past year may have felt more like a Wedding “miss” than Wedding “bliss", with all the unexpected changes due to the pandemic. From changing expectations of the big day, bridal gowns that remain hanging in closets, to wedding invites with TBD dates…a lot of adjustments had to be made for many couples. Our bride, Helen, also had to work through these changes, and she shares all the wedding updates in this episode. Did she find her dream wedding dress? When are Helen & Phil getting married? How can the bridal party be supportive during these times? And what are the wedding trends to anticipate for 2021?

We made it!! Triple digits!!! 100 is the beginning of a new chapter that we are opening as we enter the uncharted, the unknown, and the incredibly promising year of 2021. From that late-night casual conversation over drinks 4 years ago that lead to mic purchases, googling “how to make a podcast”, and claiming the @asianbossgirl handle across multiple platforms -- to a multi-media LLC powering the #3 podcast in the Personal Journals category in Canada and the #7 in the U.S. on Apple Podcasts and the #17 podcast in the Business category in the U.S. on Spotify -- 100 episodes later -- some things have definitely changed, but many things have remained the same. In this episode, we cover questions such as -- What were we most afraid of and excited for when we started the podcast? What has been the most challenging part of building this podcast? What is the most valuable lesson we have learned? What's ahead for ABG? Join us as we reflect on our journey to 100! And thank you all SOOO much for being part of our journey. We honestly could not have gotten here without y'all. We hope to continue growing & learning with you, & building up this community to become something even more special and interconnected. Thank you, and here's to the next 100. This episode was edited by Michelle Hsieh. ___ P A R T N E R S mentioned in this episode: - Stereo: Catch our NEW weekly live show on Stereo!

We are a couple of weeks into 2021, the year following an U.S. election year unlike any other many of us in our lifetime have, and perhaps ever will, experience. And though we are hot off the inauguration last night where Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were formally sworn into office, marking the start of a new presidency, the intensity and aftermath of the social and political landscape from 2020 continues to affect us all. Like many people, we have been feeling overwhelmed, and sometimes numb, by all that has happened, and continues to happen, in our world today. To help us understand, ground, and interpret the current world state from a different perspective than our own, we are going to speak with people we think have one of the hardest jobs when it comes to coping with today’s current events - parents.

2021 has FINALLY arrived. 2020 was a long year, and many of us have been waiting for this new year for what feels like ages. 2020 was a uniquely challenging year, one that many of us may not encounter again in this lifetime. Where do we go after a year like 2020? In our last episode we reflected on 2020, and after processing such a heavy year, we are ready to set our vision toward 2021.

If you’re an avid listener & playing this episode the moment it drops, we are officially 12 hours from 2021!!! (If you’re on the West Coast). It seems like everyone has been holding their breath, waiting for 2020 to end so that we can all close the door on this year. Thinking ahead & setting resolutions for a new year is a common practice, but it can be incredibly beneficial to reflect on the past year before doing so. And as much as many of us may prefer to just forget about 2020, we want to ensure that we have not experienced this year in vain. So in today’s episode, we’ll be sharing our personal & very intimate reflections of 2020. Anyone else ready for 2021?! ___ This episode was edited by Michelle Hsieh.

Now that we are fully in the holiday season and your Christmas decorations that went up in early November finally make sense to the rest of the neighborhood, we wanted to bring up a topic that we’ve experienced our whole lives. Celebrating Western Holidays, like Thanksgiving and Christmas, as Asians! Whether our families serve duck instead of turkey during Thanksgiving or have a good ole spicy hot pot going, these are all traditions that we’ve experienced as 2nd generation Asian Americans, toeing the line between our Eastern and Western cultures, and facing the generational differences within our families, at the dinner table. Our parents join us for this episode & share how they learned about these Western holidays for the first time! Did your parents go through similar things? Take a listen to the ep & let us know!

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.

Our guest today is the founder and CEO of Jubilee Media, a media company with over 5M subscribers, founded on the single idea to create a movement of empathy for human good. Since its start 10 years ago, Jubilee Media has created countless videos and short films exploring uncomfortable conversations between human beings, often from contrasting backgrounds, and the deep connections they make through sharing vulnerability.

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 ABG S 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.com E – M A I L U S ! - [email protected] S 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. 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 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? Let us know in the comments below!

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. As time passes and more life and love insight are gained, we may have even more we'd like to say to our former partner. The 3 of us have thought back into our dating history and each selected one ex. We then each took the time to write a letter to this ex, and we’re going to spend this episode sharing and discussing those letters with each other and all of you! Have you tried this exercise?

The Asian American identity & the stories that exist within our community are vast & extremely nuanced. The three of us have explored our own identities through various episodes (Episode 25: ABM-AsianBossMoms, Episode 63: APAHM - Growing Up in An Asian Household, Episode 64: My Asian Am Identity) with the lens of us specifically being 2nd gen Asian Americans. If you listened to those episodes, you heard us talk about our parents’ immigration stories and how we balance the culturally traditional side (that our parents pass down to us) with our western side (the environment we were raised in). Today, we want to explore another identity within the Asian American experience...the stories and perspectives of people who are 4th generation. And to help us explore this topic, we have brought on 2 very special & familiar faces (and voices)…Comedian/Writer, Sierra Katow, and Director/Writer, Taylor Chan! Tune in to hear them share their stories about the feeling of growing up “in-between” two worlds.

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?

On today’s episode, we have Liah Yoo, beauty influencer and founder and CEO of KraveBeauty. Liah has an international social media following of over 1 million people. She creates content that educates her followers on low-maintenance and effective skin care, sharing her unconventional acne-fighting tips based on her own personal skincare experience. Liah worked for AmorePacific, South Korea’s largest beauty company, before starting her own brand, Krave Beauty, whose mission is to challenge the fast-paced beauty industry to slow down. In the world of Korean skincare, where 10 step processes are the norm and new products are constantly being introduced, Liah is focused on keeping it simple and true, helping people reset their routines by taking a step back to listen to their skin’s true needs and feed it what it craves.

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!

For this month’s theme of Careers and Entrepreneurship, we bring on a good friend and serial entrepreneur, Mylen Yamamoto Tansingco!! She has a background in education and taught media at the college level while starting her own media company, where she produced digital videos on the side. Now, she runs a full-fledged talent company and manages some familiar faces in the Asian American digital world. On top of that, she also started Cropsticks, a sustainable goods company that was featured on Shark Tank! “That’s what you do as an entrepreneur, you get kicked down and you get rejected too, but you gotta get back up and you gotta get back into it. Today we’re in over 250 restaurants, we’re in Disneyland, we’re in Hawaiian Airlines, we’re in the Four Seasons.” Tune in to hear Mylen's journey in creating and maintaining two successful companies, and how she's learning to pivot during COVID.

Although the three of us now work on AsianBossGirl full time, we all have had experience working in corporate. From that obnoxious coworker who loved hearing the sound of his own voice, to horrible bosses that lacked a single empathetic bone in his/her body, to comments from coworkers about race and an unnerving correlation with some aspect of your work. As kids, we would make up scary stories to tell our friends, but now as adults, we STILL have scary stories to tell – only this time, they’re 100% real, and 100% scary, if not more. In line with this month’s theme of entrepreneurship and careers, we take a walk down memory lane and recount some of the horrific instances we experienced while working our past jobs.

2020 is proving to be a challenge. On a larger scale, the world is facing a global pandemic that is trickling down and unveiling an ugly side to our country. All of these things happening in the world, whether we want to admit or not, affect all of us on an individual level. Through our conversations with each other & with our loved ones, we realize there also exists a feeling of guilt. Guilt that tells us that we don’t “deserve” to feel sad or down because “someone else is going through something worse”. But now is not the time to ignore the voice in your head that separates your soul from your ego. With all the time we’re spending at home, battling safety and our own sanity, it has become increasingly important to learn to listen to ourselves -- all parts of ourselves – the bright AND the dreary. Because only then- can we learn to bring light into a world that otherwise feels dim. Today, we’re discussing how we’re finding positivity & hope during the time. Please let us know how you're finding hope in our comments below!

This year's August 18th marks the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment, which guaranteed and protected women’s constitutional right to vote. As Asian American women, however, this celebration was a little different for us. The 19th amendment gave women the right to vote, but women of color were still marginalized under this law. The fight for voting rights for women of color continued for many years after 1920, and it wasn't until the Voting Rights Act in 1965 that racial discrimination was finally prohibited in voting. These series of events emphasize how powerful, sought after, and precious the right to vote is. Voting is the single most direct expression of how we want the social constructs of our society to be managed. Today's episode is dedicated to all the women who have fought, progressed, and won us the opportunity to exercise one of our most basic civic rights - the right to vote! We talk about our earliest memories of the concept of voting (does anyone remember high school superlatives, homecoming court, or student government?), if voting was ever discussed within our Chinese/Taiwanese households, our first times voting, the resources we used, and what voting means to us now.

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!

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).

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 ;) Leave a 🌸 if you enjoyed this episode!

"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.

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 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.

This Hero Story is brought to you by McDonald's. With all that is happening with the pandemic, McDonald's is putting forward the effort to showcase the many kinds of heroes in the Asian Pacific American community. McDonald's desire to uplift and highlight community heroes is guided by the belief that we are all in this together, and they are committed to caring for local heroes who are caring for our country. COVID19 has profoundly impacted the world. We’ve all had to adjust to a new normal, and that new normal has looked different for everyone. In recent episodes, we shared how COVID19 has impacted our personal lives, and our experiences have reflected that of many individuals who are adjusting to the stay-at-home order. In this bonus episode, we want to recognize and honor a local community hero who is working directly on the frontlines. Today, we have Michelle Acob, a bedside and charge nurse at the Regional Medical Center of San Jose - a trauma hospital. Michelle works in one of Santa Clara County’s first Covid-19 units starting in March 2020. As a charge and infection prevention nurse, she oversees the entire Covid-19 unit and is in control of bedding patients and guiding 10-12 nurses with their assigned patient loads. We are so honored to have Michelle here to share her story and experiences during this unprecedented period of our lives. This episode edited by Michelle Hsieh.

Last episode, we kicked off APAHM 2020 with a conversation about our experiences growing up in an Asian household. In this episode, we continue the conversation, reflecting more on our interactions with friends, our communities, and experiences in grade school and throughout college - we chat about many of the nuanced aspects of growing up ethnically Asian in America. Did we ever feel ashamed of our identities? What are we most proud of about our culture? How have these experiences impacted our current identities? Listen to find out!

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, APAHM for short! During this month, we celebrate the cultures, traditions, and history of AAPI’s in the United States. This country is very much shaped by the stories of immigrants from Asia and the Pacific and the native people of the Pacific Islands. Today, we will be sharing with you our personal stories as Asian American women -- the traditions and foods we remember from our childhood, where we grew up, what it was like to visit "the motherland", and how these experiences have impacted our journey with shaping our own cultural identity. Happy APAHM everyone!

ABG is officially in season 6! With the stay-at-home order still in place, we continue to record from each of our own homes. By now, we are a little more settled into this new, temporary normal of social distancing, but it can be challenging to cope with the inevitable loneliness. In collaboration with Bumble, this episode is dedicated to ways we are dealing with loneliness and how we are connecting with others through online apps. We discuss profile creation and evaluation tactics (we talk about wanting a horoscope filter, which you can actually find in the settings on your Bumble app!); how to start a conversation; and for those listeners like Helen who aren't on the search for a Boo anymore, our experiences with Bumble BFF (there's an option to hide date mode for users who are looking to make friends/network). We also appreciate that Bumble's priority is safety, and creating an inclusive/safe environment for it's users to make connections. Listen in as we discuss our personal experiences, and share your own tips and/or experiences in the comments below!

Mental health is a topic that we get many messages about from our listeners. It’s a sensitive and complicated topic, and especially with all the recent world events that have occurred, we thought now is the right time to take a deeper dive into this topic. Back in July 2019, we released Episode 44: Mental Health with Christine Chen wherein our good friend shared her personal experience with clinical depression. Today, we wanted to offer a different perspective on the topic by bringing in Haesue Jo, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in the Bay Area, California. Haesue has 7 years of experience as a mental health professional, including working with Asian-American youth, families, and adults, given her firsthand experience dealing with generational and cultural differences in her own family. Haesue is also the Clinical Support Lead at BetterHelp, the largest online counseling platform worldwide. You can learn more about Haesue at betterhelp.com/haesue-jo.

It has been an incredibly dynamic last couple of weeks for us personally at ABG, and for the world at large. So, even though we are off season, we wanted to check in with you all and share a special episode to talk about how we are personally experiencing the world-wide COVID-19 incident, in hopes that it might help some of you out there feel more connected, prompt conversations with your personal circles, or even just offer a brief moment of reprieve from your new daily routine. We hope you are all keeping safe, informed, and taking care of yourselves mentally, physically, and emotionally. Thank you to those who are battling this pandemic on the frontlines and allowing most of us to remain safely at home.

It’s an age old point of contention, discussion, and often times, frustration - the differences between men and women, and of course nowadays with all the variations of gender identity, the complexity continues to grow - just how different is the opposite sex (or sexes)? Are men (and all those who identify as male) really from Mars, and women (and all those who identify as female) really from Venus? Today we have invited 2 very special ABB guests (Mike Bow & Jason Rodjanapanyakul to explore just how different (or similar) ABGs and ABBs really are. This will be an open forum and a safe space to ask each other ANY and ALL questions we may have about the opposite sex. Take a listen to our season finale & let us know what you think!
