    18 Grieving the loss of a parent and what actually helps

    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.

    17 Thriving in corporate as an Asian woman

    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

    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. ----- References: Book: Red Helicopter by James Rhee Book: You Only Die Once: How to Make It to the End with No Regrets by Jodi Wellman Correction: Rée was referring to Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (not Guardians of the Galaxy)

    14 Navigating the terrible twos and threes

    In this episode, we tackle a reader question about how we discipline our children without resorting to fear-based tactics. We reflect on our own childhoods, moments when we’ve handled parenting with grace and times that we haven’t, and how we are setting intentions for how we raise our kids. _____________________________________ Resources: Hidden Brain episode on Languishing _____________________________________ Join the group chat, bestie!

    13 Breaking free from beauty standards

    We share our unfiltered thoughts on the beauty standards we grew up with as Asian women and how we’ve redefined them for ourselves. From trying to please the male gaze and not be othered for our Asian features, the message of never being good enough was loud and clear. We talk about our sometimes painful journeys relating to beauty and body image, and how we are learning to set ourselves free.
