Have you ever taken the time to really think about who you are and how you operate? What are your strengths? Your weaknesses? Choosing a career that is not a fit for your personality is likely to leave you feeling unhappy and apathetic. If you don't know yourself as well as you'd like to, there are a variety of personality assessment tests such as "Myers-Briggs" or "What Color Is Your Parachute?" available to help you identify your personality type. Of course, we wouldn't suggest basing your decision solely on the results of an internet career test. But they can offer useful suggestions you may not have thought of, or confirm the suitability of the job you currently have, or anticipate having. Join us, as we evaluate our personalities with the help of Meyers Briggs and the 16 personalities tests and talk through our careers in finance, tech, and fashion. Let us know if you end up taking these tests, and share with us your results! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/message Learn more about your ad choices.

Every relationship, whether we like to admit it or not, has its problems. How can we work through issues with our significant other in a way that helps versus hurts the relationship? Is problem solving language a thing? Is it ok to vent to friends about problems between you and your boo? From the couple that has been together for years, to the relationship that just started, and the partnerships we explore while dating...every stage comes with its own challenges. Listen in as we explore the different facets of problem solving in romantic relationships. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/message Learn more about your ad choices.

For us three ladies, the strongest transition for self-care, particularly related to hair and skincare, happened between our 20s and 30s. From a bar of soap, to drug store products, to multiple steps in our nightly skin care regimen, we've become less reactive (ah, acne!) and more preventive (stay away, ac-NAY!) But apparently, we're still not doing enough!! Join us, as we highlight our beauty battles, discuss what's 'in' right now with skincare, and how to hold a tear back from a bad dye job. We know, you’ve been there too ;)  Also, apologies in advanced! Janet's mic had some issues with this episode, so the sound quality is off :'(. We won't make that mistake again! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/message Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

One of our most popular topics from Season 1 is back for another round of discussion. In Episode 2: Fuckboi - The Modern Day Player, we offered a female perspective on this topic. This time, we have some special guests to rep the 20s and 30s male perspective. Listen in as we discuss what makes a fuckboi and why they exist; the line between friendship, friends with benefits, and romantic interest; how men and women interpret physical interactions differently; and if our guests consider themselves fuckbois. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/message Learn more about your ad choices.

As a natural progression from our last episode, we think it is fitting to talk about…BABIES! Like weddings, there are a handful of women (&men) who envision what it’s like to have children- from being pregnant, the process of naming them to the hardest job ever - raising them. Listen in as we share our fantasies about having babies and the harsh, painful reality of going into labor! OW!   We also share thoughts on our personal baby, this podcast, with you! From our initial hesitations, our goals, and overall how this podcast making journey has been for us. This episode marks the end of our first season, but don't worry. We got a bun in the oven and we're planning to release our next baby in January 2018! Until then, we'll keep in touch via the Internets. Thank you for sticking with us through the end of the first season!! xoxo, ABG --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/message Learn more about your ad choices.

And if you are of mixed cultural background, what are your thoughts on incorporating traditional ceremonial aspects into your wedding?

A topic that is very relevant for young working professionals, especially those living in major cities (like LA, SF, or NY) where social demands can be very high, is work life balance. How are we expected to not only maintain, but “succeed” in all of these aspects without burning out? From jobs, to relationships, to friends, time with family, side projects, and let's not forget self care! In this episode, we dig into specific struggles and a few tips we picked up along the way to balancing it all. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/message Learn more about your ad choices.

Listen in as we grill her on everything from how they met, how he won her over, and what sexy time is like when you have held off for many, many years ;) --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/message Learn more about your ad choices.

As Asian women, we typically feel pressures to conform to society’s westernized beauty standards based on gender and race. From the shade of our skin to the size of our eyes, we are often scrutinized by family and media when we don’t fit into the mold of one’s beauty expectations. In this episode, we talk through our experience in dealing with this notion of “Asian beauty”. What is it, exactly? How has a tiny fold on top of our eyes become part of our privilege? How have Aaliyah, Jessica Biel, and Jolin Tsai shaped us into the women we are today? Grab some SPF (or tanning lotion) and join us, as we share our unique experiences. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/message Learn more about your ad choices.

For most of us, the 20s are our first decade operating in the adult world without the safety net and structure of parents and school curriculum. By our 30s, we have spent a decade adulting (or trying to) and figuring out our place in the world. Typically, a huge portion of that time is spent on one’s career - either committing to one right away, or exploring options. Are you someone that's struggling to get a solid foothold in your career? If you're in your teens, is this something you anticipate? If you've moved beyond your 30s, how does this apply to you now? Join us, as we share our varied experiences. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/message Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
