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.

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 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?

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.

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.

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.

How am I really doing in NYC? Eight months in, and it’s time to get real about life in New York. I’ve shared glimpses of my excitement about the city, but behind the scenes, it’s been… different. I didn’t think moving here would feel this lonely, but leaving behind a tight-knit group of friends and adjusting to new rhythms has been harder than I ever expected. It’s tough to admit, but this might be the loneliest I’ve ever felt. In this episode, I’m opening up about what it’s really been like—navigating big-city life, missing familiar faces, and learning that making new friends as an adult isn’t as easy as it sounds. Sometimes, I find myself wishing for just one effortless conversation with people who know me. Between spending days mostly alone and feeling the weight of vulnerability fatigue, it’s been a rollercoaster. I’m still figuring it out, and I hope sharing this helps anyone else feeling a little out of place to know you’re not alone. So, let’s get into it: the highs, the lows, and the in-between moments of finding myself in NYC. No Dumb Questions with Mel is moving to its own feed!

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.
