18 Grieving the loss of a parent and what actually helps
มุมมอง 7หลายเดือนก่อน
Losing a parent can be one of the most devastating experiences in life and there is so little guidance and support out there. Our grief-avoidant culture can make the journey feel even more lonely and painful. In this heartfelt episode we share our experiences with grief, what helped us the most, and our advice to those looking to support their loved ones through grief. References: Grief support...
17 Thriving in corporate as an Asian woman
มุมมอง 27หลายเดือนก่อน
In this episode we tackle a listener question on how we navigated our corporate careers as Asian women. Challenging the cultural norm of simply putting our heads down and working hard, we had to learn how to advocate for ourselves to find more fulfillment in our working lives. We share our hard-earned advice to those looking to start their corporate careers or find more purpose in their 9-to-5s...
16 Milestone birthdays and midlife musings
มุมมอง 92 หลายเดือนก่อน
Libra season is upon us and we’re all officially joining the forties club! Milestone birthdays from sweet sixteens to entering a new decade can bring a host of emotions. We unpack feeling pressured to celebrate in a big way when we really just feel like doing something low key and Marie Kondo-ing our bucket lists.

02 Unpacking our Asian identities - it’s complicated…
I feel that when I do speak up and advocate for myself, I get the “difficult person” label. There’s definitely an assumption that Asian Americans are more docile, patient and willing to endure more…
It’s such an unfair double standard and we’re so sorry you’ve experienced that before. It can feel suffocating to try to stay within the lines of these kinds of stereotypes…that’s why we’ve given up on trying to please others but unfortunately we still have to deal with real life consequences like these. You are not alone 🫶🏻
I felt a lot of pressure to become a doctor, lawyer or engineer. Now I work with oncology data and am very happy with my current career path. My majors in the social sciences got me nowhere!
Ahhh we’re so glad you were able to find a career path that you’re happy with!! It definitely takes some work to shed the layers of those expectations so we can find what will actually bring us fulfillment in life. You’re an inspiration 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

First time giving your show a listen. Have spread it to over ten social media websites. Would it be possible to break the show into four parts posting one every day? Have the number of dramas and movies being viewed here from Asia helped change people's attitudes? Some of the dramas from Asia are viewed up to 100 million times. Discrimination is painful
Thank you for listening and sharing! We appreciate you acknowledging that discrimination is painful. We are happy to finally see representation in more Asian films and in media, it is a good start. There is still quite a lot of work to be done in dismantling stereotypes and oppression. We will be posting short clips of our podcasts, in addition to the full episodes. We prefer to keep the full podcasts intact since they are on a cohesive theme ☺️
Great idea!
Thank you so much for the encouragement 🥰
@@YourAsianBesties Here’s a possible topic to discuss - Do you ever feel as if Asian Americans are held to a higher standard in the school and workplace?
@@missywong6832 that’s a great suggestion! We will definitely add it to our list ☺️ tysm
