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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.
