Episode 222: Janet & Mel Getting Engaged? Baby #2 for Helen? ABG Reality Show?! ABG Assumptions Jun 02, 2023

Show notes

On this podcast, we try to be as open and candid as possible. But realistically, our public persona only represents 5% of our lives. So, we wondered how much your assumptions about us match up with what’s really going on. From our personalities (Is Helen the most outgoing?) to our careers (Is ABG writing another book?) to our future plans (Would we ever move out of LA?) - are your assumptions about us correct?

Living Well with Janet: How I find SPACE in my life - My Meditation Journey May 31, 2023

Show notes

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 221: There’s Nothing Sexier Than Good Food - feat. Ronnie Woo May 26, 2023

Show notes

As a society, we typically eat three meals a day, so nothing brings people together as much as food. Especially GOOD food. Today’s guest is a model turned therapist turned chef - Ronnie Woo, the author of a new cookbook, “Did You Eat Yet?” which celebrates his Asian and American heritage. What should you cook for someone on a 1st date? What dish will help you lock in a relationship? And what makes food sexy?

Episode 220: Navigating Divorce and Co-Parenting with Cathy Nguyen May 19, 2023

Show notes

One of the most difficult life transitions someone can go through is letting go of a relationship and going through the process of a divorce. It’s a deeply personal journey, so we are extremely grateful that our dear friend Cathy Nguyen is joining us today to share how her experience with divorce has given her a new perspective on motherhood and self-love.

Cathy has been on the ABG podcast before, but you may also recognize her from Wong Fu Productions’ “Strangers, Again” and “Strangers Never Again” series, or her social content featuring her incredible relationship with her daughter, Isla.

Spill the Baby Tea with Helen: 5 Tips to Keep Your Relationship Strong After Having a Baby May 17, 2023

Show notes

Couples often wonder how to maintain their romantic spark after having a baby. HOW DO YOU KEEP THE FIRE GOING?!?! On this week’s episode of Spill the Baby Tea, Helen brings on to the podcast her husband, @wongfuphil, to openly talk about what’s worked for the two of them. Practicing self-care, scheduling in sexaYy time, learning how to be a good teammate, and gutturally laughing about it all when they’re both butt-nekked in bed for survival mode, rather than for funsies.

Having a baby can be tough on a relationship, but it can also deepen your connection. We hope the insights on this episode will help you to maintain a strong bond with your partner during this time of change. Love, in the time of diapers. If you have any other tips or suggestions for how to keep your relationship strong after having a baby, share in the comments of AsianBossGIrl’s latest Instagram post, linked here.

I hope you enjoy!

Episode 219: What Does It Mean to be Blasian? feat. Janine Oda & Ryan Alexander Holmes May 12, 2023

Show notes

In the face of pervasive racism and stereotyping, particularly in recent years, it’s important for all minority communities to stand together in solidarity. On today’s episode, we’ve invited Janine Oda and Ryan Alexander Holmes to sit with us and discuss their experiences growing up Black and Asian. How did their mixed families, and the way that society viewed them, affect their personal cultural identities?

Janine is an actress, who you may recognize from Wong Fu Productions’ Yappie, Everything Before Us, or Traif: An Unkosher Series.

Ryan is an actor and content creator who uses his story and voice to encourage others of mixed ethnic/cultural backgrounds to fully embrace who they are. You may have seen his bilingual skits on TikTok, or his roles in The Morning Show and Dear White People.

Episode 218: Chicken Feet, Plastic Bag Drawers, & Paris Baguette - What Makes Us Asian? #AAPIHM May 05, 2023

Show notes

We’ve discussed cultural identity many times on this podcast, but today we wanted to put a more personal lens on the topic, and talk about experiences and habits that make us Asian. Going beyond outward appearances, what are ways in which we find comfort and pride in being Asian? Whether it’s celebrating cultural traditions, or realizing that you’re slowly morphing into your grandparents/parents, the answer to this question looks different for every individual.

No Dumb Questions with Mel: Why Do I Still Have Roommates in my 30's? May 03, 2023

Show notes

I have never lived alone. Yes, I'm well into my 30's and I always had roommates, housemates...you name it. In my 20's, living with someone was a means to an end (LA rent is expensive!) and I definitely faced some insecurities with this situation. Now, in my 30's living with people comes with both tangible reasons and other benefits I now truly value.

Do you live alone or also have roommates? Take a listen & let me know if you can relate!
