gen asian Winnie Cheng and Michelle Ng

In this episode of gen·asian, we talk about all things exes. We discuss whether being friends with a ex is the ulitmate show that you're over them, or is it better to just be 'friendly' rather than actual friends. We chat about whether we'd ever get back together with an ex, why Winnie's exes are all Asian, and how to know when we're over an ex.

Michelle talks about how experience with gen-Z networking has impressed her. Winnie shares about her tips on how to do it better as someone who hates traditional networking!
