Episode 148: 2021- The End of a New Beginning Dec 31, 2021

Show notes

Hello ABGs and ABBs! And welcome to the last Thursday of the year!! This is the last episode of 2021! 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. Thinking ahead and setting resolutions for a new year is a common practice, but we’ve found it incredibly beneficial to reflect on the past year before doing so. So in today’s episode, we’ll be sharing our personal reflections of 2021.

Episode 146: Burnout, Work Life Imbalance, and Toxic Work Environments -- How ABGs Are Dealing with The Great Resignation Dec 17, 2021

Show notes

The Great Resignation is an international phenomenon of massive amounts of workers leaving their jobs during the COVID-19 pandemic. We were curious about how ABGs have been affected and what your experiences have been like. From career pivots, new jobs with better growth opportunities, to negotiating changes in current roles, and even moving to another country for school and work - here are stories from ABGs who have made changes in their work these past couple of years. If you're been unhappy with your work and thinking of leaving, listen to how others have handled similar situations - lots of great options!

Show notes

Taking the music world by storm is not an easy feat. Our guest today is a very special one. Not only is she the first musical artist we’ve ever had on our podcast, but she is a household name who has inspired so many young Asian women around the world.

From singing and releasing cover songs in her hometown of Jakarta, Indonesia, moving cross country to Nashville to study music, creating hit songs like “Vintage”, to now headlining concerts with over 25,000 attendees, we feel incredibly lucky to welcome Niki to the ABG podcast! Drop a 🎵 you're a NIKI fan!

Episode 144: Let's Talk Orgasms with Lioness Co-founder Anna Lee Dec 03, 2021

Show notes

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.

Episode 143: The People, Places, & Things That Shaped Us Nov 26, 2021

Show notes

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!

Episode 142: Lost in Transition Nov 19, 2021

Show notes

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. Leave a 💛emoji if you can relate!

Episode 141: The Stories Our Parents Never Told Us Nov 12, 2021

Show notes

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.

Episode 139: Which One of Us Would Survive "Squid Game"?? Oct 29, 2021

Show notes

"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!
