AsianBossGirl

For our final episode before our hiatus, we wanted to take time to celebrate the amazing community we have built with you all over the last 7 years. And this is a BIG MOMENT, because we’ve contacted someone who’s never been a guest on the podcast, but was talked about way back in Episode 2. That’s right, it’s THE fuccboi from Episode 2: Fuckboi - The Modern Day Player, here to finally share his side of the story. Full transparency, he is a friend of ours and it’s all in the past now, but we’re so excited that he was willing to be a guest on this episode. We also invited Carla, the spiritual medium from Episode 98, to do one more psychic reading before we embark on this new chapter, and Philip Wang to offer some words of wisdom as someone who has been supporting us from the very start.  We want to thank all our friends and listeners who shared heartfelt messages and well wishes for this hiatus. We love our community so much and none of this would have been possible without you. This may be our last episode for a while, but this isn’t a goodbye, it’s a see you online, and see you IRL! 💗 AsianBossGirl Live - THE BFF TOUR 💗 Calling ABGs & ABBs in the NYC & LA area - we’re hittin’ the road, baby - catch us ONE LAST TIME!

It’s true - after 7 amazing years and over 300 episodes, we will be hitting pause on the AsianBossGirl podcast. This was by no means an easy decision, and we have many reasons, both individually and as a group, for why a hiatus felt right - all of which we share in this episode. This podcast has evolved so much since our corporate days and far exceeded our expectations - we are so grateful for all the fun moments and support from listeners over the years.  But this is not our last episode!! We will be back next week to celebrate what we’re most excited about moving forward (and maybe bringing back some familiar faces?!) For our very last episode, we’d love to hear some voicemails from you!

For our final episode of 2024, we thought it’d be fun to go all the way back to January, when we set our intentions for the new year. In the last 52 weeks, what parts of our vision board were we able to accomplish, and what might we want to continue, or change up, in 2025? We hope that you will take some time to reflect with us.

It’s been a while since we’ve done a Q&A on the podcast, and since this is one of the last episodes of the year (!!) we thought this would be a perfect time to catch-up and answer some questions from our listeners! We’re curious about some of these too: Does Mel still want to move to Taiwan? How does Helen get her hair to look perfectly curled? Do we ever compare our SOs to other people’s SOs? And what’s next for ABG? 💗 AsianBossGirl Live - THE BFF TOUR 💗 Calling ABGs & ABBs in the NYC & LA area - we’re hittin’ the road, baby!

When you’re planning to get married, the legal side of the process can be potentially intimidating and uncomfortable to discuss with your partner. After all, you never want to go into a marriage thinking that it’s going to end. At the same time, it’s important to know what happens on the legal side when you sign those papers, to read the fine print just like you would for any other contract. So today, we’ve brought on family law attorney Alex Payne to answer as many questions as we could think of, so you can get a jump start on your research. Is it best to keep your finances joint or separate? How does social media play a role in divorce proceedings? And the big question everyone always wonders - should you get a prenup?? 💗 AsianBossGirl Live - THE BFF TOUR 💗 Calling ABGs & ABBs in the NYC & LA area - we’re hittin’ the road, baby!

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us here at ABG! We’re so grateful to each and every listener for watching us grow over 300 episodes - and what a perfect opportunity to look back on one of our favorite episodes. Now that we’re in our mid/late 30’s, we thought it’d be fun to revisit this time in our lives and get some advice from our past selves. From changing hangover routines to being kind to yourself, these lessons are still applicable no matter which stage of the 30’s you are currently navigating.  __________________________________________ Hosts: Melody Cheng, Janet Wang, Helen Wu Editors: Michelle Hsieh, Victoria Cheng __________________________________________ P A R T N E R S • McDonald’s: Visit apanext.com to learn more • BetterHelp: Get 10% off your first month with code “ABG” at betterhelp.com/ABG __________________________________________ C O N N E C T W I T H U S • Subscribe and Follow us @asianbossgirl on Apple Podcasts/Spotify/Amazon Music/YouTube/Instagram/Twitter/Facebook • Listener Survey: Let us know your thoughts on the podcast here • Shoutouts: Give a shoutout on the podcast here • Email: hello@asianbossgirl.com __________________________________________ S U P P O R T U S • Merch: asianbossgirl.myshopify.com • Donate: anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/support • More about us at asianbossgirl.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Tech companies are a notoriously male-dominated space, but today’s guest has become a voice for Asian American women in that industry. Chloe Shih began her creator journey offering resources and advice to others working in tech. Since then, she’s been honing her personal aesthetic with great success. Earlier this year, she went viral after sharing about her layoff from Discord. Now “starting over” in her 30s and walking the fine line between tech and creative work, Chloe has inspired us with her intentional approach to content creation.  We’re so excited to chat with Chloe about balancing dual careers, her new podcast JOMO, and why she chose to cut watermelon in her videos.

After going through a significant breakup, it can be difficult to get back into dating. Opening yourself up to new people and experiences might be intimidating, or you might even find that you have new priorities. But if you’re ready to start dating again, it’s always good to reflect on the positives & negatives of your previous relationship to see what you’d like to look for in the next one. Today, Janet is sharing her personal perspective on this topic, as someone who has started dating again after a pretty big breakup, and opening up about a key relationship that defined her last year. She also talks about why she’s given herself permission to take dating at her own pace, and offers some advice to anyone else who may be healing after breakups.

Remi Cruz has been a queen of content creation before it was even considered a job. Since her start as a vlogger on YouTube, she has grown her audience to millions of subscribers across two channels, on top of two podcasts: Pretty Basic and Basically Unfiltered. Lana Del Rey even gave her a shout-out as one of her favorite vloggers! And that is well-deserved praise; Remi’s bright personality makes her feel like she could be anyone’s best friend. We’re so excited to have Remi on the podcast to talk about how she juggles it all, what she’s learned about self-love over the years, and if there’s anything she’d want to do differently.

10 step skincare routines are pretty well-known nowadays, but when Ava Lee started making beauty & wellness content, items like toner and serums were a mystery to many people. Since then, she’s taught us all which products are the best to buy when traveling, how your gut health is related to skin health, and how you can achieve her iconic #JELLOSKIN from the inside out. Not only is she an absolute boss in the beauty world now, but Ava was an investment banker before jumping into content creation.

When you were young, you might have looked at people who were “adulting” - working full-time, paying bills, etc. - and seen that as the benchmark for adulthood.

Do we experience ‘Eldest Daughter Syndrome’? If you haven’t heard this term before, typically it refers to the unique challenges and responsibilities that shape the personalities of eldest daughters - particularly in immigrant families. It’s a title that none of us chose, but many have found that the pressure of parental expectations and the need to be a role model for our younger siblings can have both positive and negative effects. On today’s episode, the two eldest daughters of ABG - Janet and Mel - chat about when they first realized they were the eldest, why they were a “guinea pig” for their parents, and how their relationship with younger siblings has changed in adulthood.

We’re in the final weeks of summer, but because the past few months have been so eventful, we haven’t had a chance to check in with ourselves and each other! In fact, summers in general now just look so different in our 30’s, particularly when friends start to have kids. When we’re part of different “villages” with various priorities and obligations, how do we still have meaningful hangouts with loved ones? From Phil’s 40th Birthday Cruise to Janet’s sister’s baby shower, we share some highlights, things we learned, and how we maintain balance in the midst of these milestone events.

Have you ever wondered if you’re living up to the full potential of your brain power? Today’s guest, Jim Kwik, has dedicated his career to helping people learn better and faster, improve focus, and optimize their memory. After experiencing a traumatic brain injury as a child, Jim faced many learning challenges and was even written off as “the boy with the broken brain” by his teachers. However, he now knows that the brain is only as limited as you think it is; in fact, the mind is limitless, and Jim can show you how to unlock that potential. You’re going to want some pen and paper for this, as Jim shares ways to help your brain age healthily, the importance of taking smaller steps, and why your brain learns best through creation, not consumption.
