Episode 46: Balancing Logic and Fear in Career & Love Transitions Jun 18, 2025

We explore the powerful symbolism behind your birth chart and what it reveals about navigating fear, logic, and purpose—especially during times of major life transitions.

This episode explores the tension between structure and freedom, creativity and stability, and the unique contradictions that make up you. We talk about how to tell the difference between fear and gut instinct, how to build real self-trust, and why purpose isn’t some final destination—it’s something you create by showing up, scared and all.

If you're rethinking your career, your relationships, or your next move, this conversation is your permission slip to be both brave and unsure. To keep going, even when it doesn’t all make sense yet. Because living well isn’t about having it all figured out—it’s about being real, being curious, and doing the damn thing anyway.

Episode 45: Witchy Wisdom with Celebrity Astrologer Aliza Kelly Jun 11, 2025

Astrology is everywhere these days—from dating profiles to wellness apps—but what is it really, and why are so many of us drawn to it? In this episode, I’m joined by Aliza Kelly, celebrity astrologer, author, and cosmic consultant, to break it all down in a grounded and accessible way. We talk about the roots of astrology, how it’s evolved in pop culture, and what it can offer us—especially as women navigating identity, healing, and self-discovery.

If you’ve ever felt curious about your birth chart but unsure where to start (or just rolled your eyes at your ex blaming Mercury retrograde), this one’s for you. No crystal collection required—just an open mind.

Episode 44: Tanning Your Taint & Other Wellness WTFs May 28, 2025

In this episode of Living Well (or Trying To) with Janet, we're diving headfirst into the bizarre, bold, and sometimes straight-up bonkers side of wellness. From tanning your perineum to sipping untreated spring water (a.k.a. raw water), the wellness world has taken some wild turns. I’ll break down the most eyebrow-raising trends—like facial cryotherapy, chlorophyll shots, lymphatic drainage with a toilet plunger (yes, really), and even breatharianism—while asking: is this helping us actually live well, or just selling us new forms of anxiety and expense?

As someone who loves wellness, I’m here for the green juice and cold plunges—but some of this stuff? Kinda sus. Tune in as we laugh, cringe, and question how far is too far in the name of “health.”

Would you ever sun your butthole? DM me on IG (@janetdoubleu) or leave a comment—I genuinely want to know.

Episode 43: 5 Dating Archetypes: Reimagining Modern Dating with Yue Xu May 21, 2025

Let’s be real—modern dating can feel like a chaotic mess of apps, mixed signals, and awkward coffee chats. In this episode, I sit down with dating coach and podcast host Yue Xu (Dateable podcast) to unpack how building a friendship first might be the most underrated—and powerful—strategy in love. We talk about why so many of us perform on dates, how to tell if you actually like the person or just the date activity, and what it means to connect with someone as a human before labeling it romantic. We also talk about the 5 Dating Archetypes - The Maverick, The Achiever, The Thinker, The Energizer, and The Dreamer - which are you? Whether you’re swiping, reconnecting with an old flame, or just trying to feel less weird on first dates, this one’s for you.

Catch part one of this conversation in Episode 42: The 30-Day Relationship Incubator: Reimagining Modern Dating with Yue Xu. Yue’s new book ⁠How to Be Dateable

Episode 42: The 30-Day Relationship Incubator: Reimagining Modern Dating with Yue Xu May 14, 2025

Dating in 2025? Whew. It’s a whole thing. From app fatigue to ghosting to unsolicited advice from well-meaning friends—how do you actually date well these days, especially if you're emotionally exhausted but still believe in love? This week on Living Well (or Trying To), I sit down with Yue Xu, LA-based dating expert and co-host of the Dateable podcast, to talk about her personal approach to finding love after heartbreak. We get into everything from “energy work” and Tai Chi grandmas to Yue’s concept of a “30-day relationship incubator” and why intentionality and privacy can radically transform how we date. Whether you’re single, partnered, or somewhere in between, this one’s for anyone navigating relationships while trying to stay sane and grounded.

✨ Mentioned in this episode:

Yue’s new book How to Be Dateable
Earth vs. cosmic energy (and why you want both)
The love crisis no one’s talking about—but everyone’s feeling

What’s your current dating energy? Let’s talk about it.

Episode 41: A Soft Reentry - Catching Up, Resting, and Reimagining the Show May 07, 2025

After a long-ish pause, I’m back—still living well (or trying to). In this solo episode, I reflect on how life has been after the AsianBossGirl podcast, what rest has looked like lately (spoiler: not just bed-rotting, but also some messy growth), and how I’m redefining wellness for this next chapter. I talk about the challenges of staying creative when you're burnt out, why I resisted "doing nothing," and what listeners can expect from my reimagined show. If you’ve ever struggled with slowing down, shifting gears, or giving yourself permission to pause, this one’s for you.

Episode 39: How to Heal from Back-to-Back Breakups Dec 18, 2024

I recently went through a breakup, again. Heartbreak is never easy, and when you're dating with the intention to find your life partner while trying to beat a biological clock, it involves a new level of hurt, grief, and sense of urgency to move on. How do we know when we've healed? How do we approach asking for support from friends and family? How can we focus on hope when all we want to do is be angry and negative? I talk about all of this and more in this episode.

Episode 37: Real Life Connections over Digital Noise with Palak Dave Nov 06, 2024

One of the biggest challengers to living in the present moment are digital distractions. The advancement of consumer technology has resulted in a lot of habits and behaviors that are detrimental to our health - negative effects on our brains, our ability to focus, our ideas about ourselves, and the quality of our social skills and relationships which have resulted in a loneliness epidemic.

In this episode, I chat with Palak Dave, Founder and CEO of Embiria – a movement and membership community designed to help people slow down and savor life, about this very issue. Through Embiria, she promotes intentional living, urging you to prioritize real-life experiences and connection over digital noise. She is also a speaker, investor, and author of the newly released book Beautiful Everydays: A Guide to Living in the Here and Now. We also chat about her previous career as an award-winning marketer in corporate settings, making the shift to entrepreneurship, being a woman of color and child of immigrants, and her perspective on work-life balance as an entrepreneur in the wellness space.

Episode 36: 9 Things I've Learned at 39 Oct 16, 2024

Birthdays are an interesting time to reflect and evaluate, and honestly, it’s been one of the harder years of my life. It was the perfect storm - a cataclysm of many things being upheaved, in transition, unsettled, or in flux. Moreover, I turned 39 this year. It’s the year before I enter a new decade - pretty much midlife - and when we are at this stage of life, there are a lot of life milestones that we are confronted with. In some ways, my life does not look how I thought it would at 39. And having to face that reality while still being kind to myself and willing the confidence and fervor that’s required to make change and keep going has been pretty exhausting. But I want to take this episode as an opportunity to share some of the things I’ve learned over the course of my 39 years, and especially this past year. If you are like me, in your late 30s and on the brink of entering your 40s, maybe some of this will resonate. Or, if you’re younger - in your early 30s or 20s - perhaps some of these learnings can be of benefit or inspiration for you.

Episode 31: Midlife Non-Malaise with Mimi of @heymiddleage Jul 03, 2024

Middle age is usually defined as age 40-60. Some say it begins as early as our mid-30s. I am at the beginning of that period - this year I turn 39 and I’m on the precipice of my 4th decade. As I contend with midlife and all it means in relation to my health, my relationships, and my purpose in life - I’ve been referencing how others have navigated this period before me.

Mimi is a midlife pro-age motivator who created Hey Middle Age to change how we feel about aging and to counter ageist stereotypes. On her platforms, Mimi explores both the comfortable and uncomfortable aspects of mid-life. Listen in as we chat about lessons she's learned as someone who has navigated mid-life with incredible joy, celebration, and zest!

I'll be traveling to Bali for the first time this September - a little Birthday gift to myself :) If you'd like to join, more details and sign up here: Bali 2024 Trip Page. Deadline is fast approaching!

Episode 30: Am I a Highly Sensitive Person? Jun 12, 2024

I’ve been feeling really sensitive lately and got curious about this quality. I went down a rabbit hole of research, and it turns out that there is such a thing as highly sensitive people, or HSPs. In this episode, I talk about examples of sensitivity, explore a framework from psychologist Elaine Aron, and share ways I manage sensitivity. And yes, there is a test you can take to gauge whether you are a highly sensitive person and I share my results in the episode. Whether you’ve recently experienced a significant life event(s) that warrants sensitivity, or you’re just a human trying to life in an increasingly hostile world - the state of political, social, environmental affairs and overstimulation from an exponentially fast-paced lifestyle due to technological advancement is causing overall stress and fatigue for everyone - I hope this episode serves as some form of validation, information, and comfort.

If you’re curious about whether you’re a highly sensitive person, you can take the test here: highly sensitive person test

I am a big believer that food is medicine. Growing up in a Chinese household, my mother often told me (and still tells me) to eat certain foods based on Eastern philosophies of health. Once I went to college, I was more exposed to Western ways of thinking about healthy eating, which sometimes conflicted with what I was taught growing up. Through the years, I’ve experimented with vegetarian and vegan diets and now practice a pescetarian/Mediterranean way of eating - which I have found is the most accommodating for Western ideals of health while still being able to share meals with my Chinese family. In this episode, I chat with Zoey, a NY and Shanghai-based registered dietician, nutrition consultant, chef, and Chinese Medicine food therapist, who shares her own experience with American versus Chinese ways of eating and how she's seen it impact her physical and mental health. If you want to learn how to improve your nutrition for healthier living and crave a perspective that incorporates both Eastern and Western ways of thinking, listen in as we chat about fad diets, good food habits, and what she's learned from the older women in her life about maintaining good health and longevity.

Episode 28: Purposeful Living with Essentialist, Sung Yoo May 01, 2024

I really love minimal living. Whether it’s from moving around and traveling a lot in my adult years sampling life in different cities, a desire to leave less of a negative footprint on the planet, a real resonance with the Marie Condo mindset, or a combination of all of the above - the less stuff, the better, and the more minimal and efficient the design, the more I’m drawn to it. That’s why I was so impressed when I saw Sung Yoo’s interview on CNBC about her essentialist approach to life. Sung is a designer and entrepreneur who, in 2022 after living in NY for 18 years, moved to Santa Monica into a 140 sq ft home. Listen in on our conversation about how some major life events (including a breakup and the death of a parent) lead her to her current practices of minimal living and essentialism.

Find her @sungsation on Instagram and TikTok and @sungyooquietude on YouTube.

I'll be traveling to Bali for the first time this September - a little Birthday gift to myself :) If you'd like to join, more details and sign up here: Bali 2024 Trip Page

Episode 27: Turns Out that Play Is a Mindset, Not an Activity Apr 10, 2024

In a previous episode, I talked about the importance of play and how I have been trying to incorporate more of it into my life. *Spoiler alert* In that episode (In My Play Era, I Took a Heels Class) I talked about how scheduling a playful activity like a dance class actually wasn’t the best way to get into a state of play. In this episode I share a moment when I unexpectedly, and without planning, found myself in a state of play. How and doing what? You’ll have to listen to find out :)

Speaking of play, I'll be traveling to Bali for the first time this September - a little Birthday gift to myself :) If you'd like to join, more details and sign up here: Bali 2024 Trip Page

Episode 24: Dating Tips with Elite Matchmaker, Cassindy Chao Feb 07, 2024

On a recent episode of ABG, I shared that I had a conversation with a matchmaker who offered me the tip to practice flirting more in 2024. Given we are about a week away from Valentine’s day, I’ve invited her to the pod for an extensive chat about dating. We talk about what makes two people compatible, common hang-ups that I (and probably other Asian American people) struggle with in dating, managing shifting gender role expectations, romancing versus womanizing, how a man’s relationship with his mother can impact his relationship with you and how to manage boundaries from both the child and parent perspective.

Episode 23: In My Play Era, I Took a Heels Class Jan 17, 2024

Play is the act of doing something purely for enjoyment. More often than not, we prioritize the practical. Our adult lives are filled with responsibilities to people at work, to our partners, to kids, parents, extended family, etc. And when it comes to ourselves, there is no shortage of tasks, activities, and engagements that we stack onto our to-do lists for personal and professional development. But play, the act of doing something purely for enjoyment, is so beneficial - essential even - to a well-lived life. This year, I'm on a mission to play more. In this episode, I share that I take a heels class. Listen in as I share my experience - why I chose this as my activity of play, what I learned, and tips for anyone who is also interested in taking a heels class.

I talk about all of these things and more. If you're excited about making it to the end of 2023, leave a 🥳 in the comments!

Episode 21: The Thing with Grief Is… Dec 06, 2023

When a loss happens (a death, a job, a breakup, whatever) some people experience emotions right away. For me, I usually cry a bit but then soldier on and attend to the To Dos. Only when things calm down do the feelings come. So when I went through a pretty big breakup back in August, while I cried when it initially happened, I became focused on the logistics of moving out, finding a new living situation, and taking care of my car incident (check out Living Well with Janet: How to Keep a Positive Mindset When Everything Feels Like it’s Going to for the bitter tea ). Now, months and months later, I've had more time to process and really think about and feel all the things this past relationship and breakup meant for me. So I want to share a story of how I found myself bawling, alone in my car on the traffic-lined streets of LA, to a Taylor Swift song blasting in the background. What about you? Are you someone who feels grief immediately or does it take time to hit you?

Episode 20: EMDR, Trauma, and Mental Wellbeing with Dr. Monica Band Nov 15, 2023

What is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and who can benefit from it? Is trauma limited to single-event experiences? How does Gen Z approach mental health versus previous generations?

To help me answer these questions is Dr. Monica Band, an award-winning practicing mental health therapist and educator, specializing in providing trauma-informed care for Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC), with an emphasis on Asian American Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) and LGBTQIA+ communities. She is also the host of a new podcast called I Need to Ask You Something from Lemonada Media and the Jed Foundation, a timely series featuring stories about mental health, told directly from teens across the country.

No matter your circumstance, I believe almost everyone can benefit from better understanding the role that trauma plays in one’s well-being and learn about methods for better coping in today’s chaotic world.

Have you ever experienced a situation that seemed catastrophic in the moment, like when you think back to it as a memory, you feel it in your body - whether it was wide-eyed panic, stomach sinking disbelief, or rising anger fuming through your nose and exiting your mouth in expletives? In this episode, I share how I discovered that my car was stolen, the surprisingly calm reaction I had, and how I was able to achieve this mindset.

'Healing girl summer' is the concept of taking a season to focus on tending to yourself, for yourself.

In this episode, I share how I relate to this concept in my life right now and a handful of specific 'healing girl summer' practices that I’m doing. Which one do you plan to try? Or what's something else you're doing to heal and feel inspired?

Episode 15: I’m an Introvert and I have to host a social event - Help! 🎉😳🎉 Aug 02, 2023

It’s been a pretty big year for me for a number of reasons, but an even bigger year for a few of my loved ones. As someone who is fairly introverted and generally shies away from hosting events and celebrations, I’ve had to step into my discomfort a couple of times this year. In this episode, I share how I hosted three major social events as someone who isn't the hosting type - my partner's birthday, a best friend's bachelorette, and my dad's retirement party. If you're also an introvert and/or not the hosting type, I hope this episode provides you with some helpful tips!

Episode 12: How I Find SPACE in My Life - My Meditation Journey May 31, 2023

This episode is not about trying to convince anyone to meditate, if they aren’t somewhat interested already. I think most people I’ve spoken to don’t need to be sold on meditation and would like to start meditating, but the common hang-ups I hear are: "How do you meditate? Like what is going on when your eyes are closed? What am I supposed to be doing?" and "I've tried meditating before - I've downloaded apps, watched videos, or attended a short session - but I always fall off the habit. How do I develop a meditation practice or ritual?

If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a meditating emoji in the comments, and if you feel so inspired, please share with me where you are in your meditation journey!

Episode 10: Good News About Climate Change Around the World Apr 19, 2023

We’re killing the environment, we’re not recycling enough, stop driving your cars, why aren’t you composting?! The world is ending! It seems like every news article, publication, title, and post nowadays is about how the world is getting worse. Yes, humanity is at a pretty critical point in history - things have been, and continue to be, dire. But we don’t hear enough about the improvements, the powerful initiatives, and the amazing milestones to give us hope to continue putting effort toward turning around what can feel like an enormous train speeding toward a cliff’s edge.

So in honor of Earth month I want to celebrate all the strides we have made so that we can be motivated to continue making them. Here are some GOOD pieces of news about significant improvements we’ve made in the world over the last few years.

If you enjoyed this episode, please leave an earth emoji in the comments of our IG post! And if you feel so inspired, share with me what small actions you’ll be taking to help the planet.

Episode 9: What is the Formula for Happiness? Mar 29, 2023

It is probably one of the most elusive things pursued by humankind. When people ask: “what do you hope to achieve in life?” “what is your ultimate goal?” or “what is the meaning of life?” – you’ll often hear the answer: I just want to be happy. But what does that really mean? Is it a state of being? Is it the same for everyone? Is it even achievable? March 20th is the UN International Day of Happiness. The purpose of this holiday is to make people around the world realize the importance of happiness within their lives. In honor of this mission, this episode explores happiness in my own life and prompts you to think about it in yours.

If you enjoyed this episode, please share your unique formula for happiness and leave a simple, classic smile emoji in the comments of our IG post!

You've heard of early birds and night owls, but what about bears, wolves, lions, and dolphins? According to sleep specialist and clinical psychologist Michael J. Breus, Ph.D., there are four unique sleep chronotypes, each with different characteristics and ideal sleep and wake times. In this episode, I share some of my personal struggles with sleep, what I found when I researched sleep types, and tips on how to adjust your sleep and wake times.

Episode 7: When You Meet Your Person After 35 Feb 15, 2023

I believe that Wellness is holistic. Beyond food, sleep, and exercise, it’s also about the relationships in our lives, and key among these relationships is the one we have with our life partner. At 37 and 44, my current partner and I are just beginning our journey together about a decade past the average person in the US. So what does that mean for us? How do we go about committing to and reaching such significant life milestones together when we’ve known each other for less time than one season of the Bachelor? In honor of Valentine's Day, I want to explore the question: what happens when you meet your person, later in life? Listen to this episode to find out!

Episode 6: Sober-Curious? Go ‘Damp’ not ‘Dry’ Jan 24, 2023

Given the aftermath of the last few years, I’d say that many of us have Dry Jan sitting pretty high up on our new year’s resolutions lists. But WAIT - before you empty those glasses COMPLETELY, I want to share an alternative approach to Dry Jan. Not to be discouraging, but research shows that ⅓ of people who attempt Dry Jan fail to make it the whole month. Instead of going ‘Dry’ this year - there is a new movement called going ‘Damp'. Listen to this episode to find out what it means to be 'Damp' and how to be it.

Episode 5: Sexual Healing - How Sex & Masturbation are Good for Your Health Nov 16, 2022

Some healthy habits are harder to adopt than others - eating your veggies, exercising regularly, maintaining a consistent sleep routine - these may all take some convincing and effort. But what if I told you that some pleasurable activities, like having sex regularly, is also critical to your health?

Interested in tips for achieving orgasm with and without a partner? Want to know popular ways women use vibrators during sex with a partner? We answer all these questions, and more. Anna was also a guest on the AsianBossGirl podcast last year - you can check out Episode 144: Let’s Talk Orgasms with Lioness Co-founder Anna Lee, to learn more about her very unique story and all the interesting work she and her company are doing in sexual health.

Episode 4: I Had an Energy Healing Session and Here’s What Happened Oct 26, 2022

Have you ever heard of “energy healing”, “Reiki”, or phrases like “balancing your chakras”? As someone who started my interest in wellness rooted more in traditional Western concepts of nutrition and health, energy healing is something I might have rolled my eyes at a decade ago. But since that time, I have been more curious about this modality of wellness, of healing. If you’re in the same boat as me – curious about this modality, but a little skeptical – listen to this episode where I share about my first energy healing experience (live audio from the session included!). Have you ever had an energy healing session? Or are you interested in trying it? Let me know in the comments!

Episode 3: That Time I Went to Chinese Medicine School Oct 05, 2022

Those of you who have listened to some of our earlier episodes at ABG know that I have switched careers many times. I started out at one of the Big 4s working in global transfer pricing, then in social enterprise, before switching to strategy in advertising, and finally landing in UX design before going full time on ABG. However, between my stint in Advertising and my time in UX design, I actually spent about half a year in Chinese Medicine School. If you’re curious about how and why I did this, what the experience was like, and what I learned, listen in!

Episode 2: I’m a Vegetarian and All My Friends are Carnivores Sep 14, 2022

Plant-based or plant-forward eating has been lauded as a healthy lifestyle habit for years now.

If you’re a meat-eater who is plant curious, this episode is for you! What exactly is a plant-based/forward way of eating? How do you start the transition? Where do you get your protein? How do you feel full?

I’m also here to share how a plant-based diet has affected my lifestyle: How do I eat out with non-plant-based/forward company? What about dates? Or my family (i.e. why might my Asian parents be resistant to this eating style)? Listen to this episode to find out!

AsianBossGirl is turning 5 years old! To celebrate, we are hosting a Happy Hour event in Los Angeles on September 16th. RSVP at our Eventbrite link here! Cocktails, mocktails, and light bites will be provided. Spots are limited, so sign up soon!

Episode 1: What Does it Mean to Live Well? Aug 24, 2022

Hi, it’s Janet! Most of you know that I’m an avid yogi, meditator, plant-based eater and all-around wellness enthusiast. As a 2nd generation Asian American woman, I often find myself experimenting with Western health trends against the context of the Eastern philosophies I was raised with. I’ve shared parts of my wellness journey in various ABG episodes, but there are pieces I have yet to reveal. Listen to this episode for a thorough recount of my journey to wellness (so far). I explore what it means to live well and talk about periods in my life when I felt unwell and how I sought to feel better.

My goal with this show is not to provide formal medical or health advice - I am not licensed to do that. Nor am I trying to push any one type of diet, workout, spiritual practice, etc. I am merely a youngish middle-aged person who is trying to live my life well, and in doing so, like to expose myself to lots of different practices and perspectives which I want to share with you in the hopes that it enlivens your own personal journey to living well.

If you enjoyed this episode, I’d love it if you leave a comment in our IG post with one thing you’re doing for your wellness and which of the 6 dimensions it addresses (not sure what the 6 dimensions are? You’ll have to listen to the episode to find out!)
