Spill the Baby Tea with Helen: The Lessons We’ve Learned In Our First Year as Parents

This year has been jam-packed with new life experiences. As our baby reaches the ripe age of 1 (very soon!), I wanted to bring my husband, Philip Wang, on to the pod to talk about what it’s been like to take on this new identity of a parent. If we could turn back time, what is a piece of advice we would’ve told ourselves one year ago today? What is something we didn’t know or expect to happen in the first year as new parents that surprised us? Becoming a parent is a major life transition, and all transitions, no matter how eagerly anticipated, are accompanied by stress, fear, and lots of unknowns. We’re ecstatic that we survived the first year. And grateful that we can impart what we’ve learned to everyone that tunes in.

Is there anything we missed in this episode that you would like to add? As always, thank you for allowing me to share my personal journey with you all. I have so much more to learn and would love to continue connecting and learning from all of you out there.   I hope you enjoy! #SpillTheBabyTea __________________________________________ Host: Helen Wu Editor: Victoria Cheng __________________________________________ P A R T N E R S • Vaccines: Find vaccines and boosters near you at vaccines.gov • Lomi: Get $50 off your Lomi using code ABG at lomi.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: [email protected] __________________________________________ 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.
