Show notes

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.

Episode 88: Gratitude Takes Effort - Here's How We Do It Nov 06, 2020

Show notes

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 :)

Episode 87: The Haunting of Your Corporate Horror Stories Oct 30, 2020

Show notes

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!

Episode 86: Birds, Whales, Fails, and All the Scary Tales -- Our Greatest Fears!! Oct 23, 2020

Show notes

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!

Episode 85: A Letter To My Ex Oct 16, 2020

Show notes

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?

If so, leave a 📝 and share your experience with us in the comments below!

Episode 84: 4th Generation- Between Two Worlds with Sierra Katow & Taylor Chan Oct 09, 2020

Show notes

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.

Episode 83: Attachment Theory and Me Oct 02, 2020

Show notes

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?

Episode 82: Starting Your Own Skincare Brand with Liah Yoo Sep 25, 2020

Show notes

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.

Episode 81: Finding the Right Career Sep 18, 2020

Show notes

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!

Quizzes we took:

Aptitude Test

DISC Test

What Career Should You Have?
