Work-Life Balance - How do we do it? Are we able to do it? Is it non-existent in our lives? We talked about this topic in Episode 9, but that was in 2017 when our lives looked very different. Five years later, we revisit this topic and share our current work-life balance experiences as entrepreneurs with public-facing personas while managing family relationships, dating, and taking care of ourselves. With many shifting to work-from-home policies, we want to know how all of you are managing work-life balance too - please share your experiences in the comments!

In our last episode, the three of us talked about our relationships with our Asian American identity. Today, as we often do on this podcast, we have invited a guest to offer a different perspective on this topic. She is the Senior Creative Director, Head of Voice at Old Navy, a brand often associated with traditional Americana when we were teenagers - I don’t know if anyone else remembers those Old Navy 4th of July T-shirts, but they were pretty iconic and widely worn when we were young. Jeanine also happens to be an Asian American woman. As Head of Voice, she’s created award-winning marketing campaigns for the brand, including the size-inclusive Bodequality! campaign last year. Before Old Navy, she has written and edited for Vogue, W Magazine, Refinery29, and Opening Ceremony. She also has a masters in journalism from columbia university, and has written numerous culture features and op-eds. In our personal conversations, she has shared her passion for the Asian American identity - thinking through questions like “What does it mean to be Asian? and “What does it mean to be American?” We shared some of our own perspectives on this topic in the last episode, and now, we get to hear from Jeanine. This month, we’re working with Old Navy on a campaign to celebrate our AAPI heritage and reclaim what it means to be ‘American’ in 2022”. We are so pleased to be partnering with them on this very important conversation, so thank you, Old Navy, for sponsoring this episode.

As we evolve as humans, it’s only natural that our identities evolve with us - from growing into new roles (like becoming a mother) to deepening existing ones (like becoming a confident entrepreneur), our identities are ever-changing. Today we’re going to talk about the cultural component of our identities - our relationship with our Asian & Asian-Americanness. We recorded an episode a few years ago talking through this exact topic (Ep 64). However, with the spread of hate crimes against Asians throughout the pandemic, and after co-hosting a podcast for Asian American women for 5 years now, it’s no surprise that our relationships with our identities as Asian Americans have evolved. Today, we want to explore what it means to us, in this moment in time, to be Asian, American, and Asian American.  This month, we are working with Old Navy on a campaign to celebrate our AAPIHM heritage. We are so pleased to be partnering with them on this very important conversation, so thank you, Old Navy, for sponsoring this episode.

May is a very special month for us here at AsianBossGirl. For one, it is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, AAPIHM for short, and it is also Mother’s Day coming up on May 8th! In light of Mother’s Day coming up, and the three of us on this podcast, today’s discussion will be honoring OUR mothers and talking about what it was like for them as immigrant mothers in this country. While we’ve talked about their immigration stories in past episodes (their journeys to America), we never got to really ask them – “What was it like for you, as someone who left home, to raise a daughter here, in America?”  This month, we are working with Old Navy on a campaign to celebrate our AAPIHM heritage. We are so pleased to be partnering with them on this very important conversation, so thank you, Old Navy, for sponsoring this episode.

The episode we've all been waiting for! Our girl, Helen, is back on the pod alongside her hubs, Philip, to spill all the details of the day their lives changed forever! Take a ride back with us to when Helen went into labor for the very first time. From the morning of her contractions, to the moment it was time for her to go into "athlete mode" in the delivery room, to when they found out the gender of their newborn and how they both walked out of the maternity ward as changed people. Listen in on this very intimate conversation as we join our two good friends in sharing their labor & birth story.

The 30s are a decade where many (obviously not all) but many people experience 2 MAJOR life milestones: marriage and kids. We imagine that each of those events is like a door into a different room - on one side is the before, and after you step inside, you’re in a different room with different life circumstances - maybe kids more than marriage, but still - both are very life altering events. Mel and Janet are currently both in the same room - the one with no man and no babies! If you ever feel like all your friends are either getting married or having kids, while you’re just…not - join in on this convo!

The topic of life transitions is a popular one among our listeners, and as many of you may know, ABG is no longer just Helen, Mel, and Janet - we also have a wonderful team of women who keep ABG running – women who also have their own perspectives and experiences that we know many of you can relate to. Today, we have our social media coordinator, Ashley, and our newsletter editor, Haemee on the pod to share life transitions that they are currently working through in their lives. Ashley, being in her early 20's, graduated college in the pandemic and started her first corporate job. Haemee, being in her early 30's, uprooted her life in New York and moved to Los Angeles to shake things up. Both of these women are going through different things, but have the shared experience of going through changes and transitions. Tune in as we talk through these uncertain feelings and situations with Ashley & Haemee!

Finding love through our podcast is something Janet & Mel both thought they would potentially achieve. A lot of their friends joke around asking if anyone has slid through the DM’s or if listeners have sent potential matches & the answer is no LOL However, it looks like some of our guests are having better luck finding love through our ABG podcast. If you remember Ep 66 & Ep 68, we brought on our good friend Anna Lee to talk through her coming out story. We later found out that another ABG listener, Amy, really connected with Anna’s story and made her move.
