Episode 138: When is the Right Time to Freeze My Eggs and IVF Questions with Dr. Huang Oct 22, 2021

Show notes

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!

Episode 136: Let's Talk About Addiction, feat. Yvette Enrique from AADAP Oct 08, 2021

Show notes

**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.

Show notes

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. We are so over the moon for our girl, Helen and the announcement of her & Phil’s first child (due at the end of the year! #babywuwang). 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. From finding out when she was pregnant, accepting her physical transformation, learning how to navigate social situations as the only “pregnant friend”, to thoughts on becoming a mom, join us as Helen opens up and shares her pregnancy journey with us!

Episode 134: How We Plan to Restore & Renew Sep 24, 2021

Show notes

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!

Episode 133: Chang'e, Mooncakes & Lots of Family Time // Celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival Sep 17, 2021

Show notes

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?

Episode 132: Wedding Guests: Do's & Dont's Sep 10, 2021

Show notes

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!

Show notes

It is officially September and we are fast approaching the fall season.

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.

Episode 129: For the 90s Kid in All of Us Aug 20, 2021

Show notes

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?
