Beyond Friends: a podcast through her eyes is hosted by Mai Xee, Pang, and Sunny. We’re a group of friends who started this podcast as a space to tell our stories; rooted in our refugee and immigrant background and how these identities are currently helping us navigate adult-hood. We’re excited to explore this platform together and hope maybe you’ll share your stories with us one day. So get cozy and press play.

Ep. 42 - Life Moves So Fast
Hello and welcome to an episode of Beyond Friends.. Our last one.
In this episode, we reflect on our podcasting journey and our lives since we’ve started the podcast - so much has happened! Beyond Friends started as a passion project in the thick of the pandemic and we’ve been so grateful to share this space with you all. ❤ As time has gone by, our capacities have shifted and we’ve collectively agreed that this podcast has served us in the ways it’s needed to. Alas, the last episode of Beyond Friends has come.
We thank you all SO, SO much for joining this adventure. Who knows, we may be back one day. If so, till next time!

Ep. 41 - Let's talk about S-E-X baby!
We’re ready to get down and maybe a bit dirty. 😉
In today’s episode Mai Xee, Pang, and Sunny are talking about their views of sex as mid-20 girlies in comparison to their adolescent years. We’re tapping into purity culture, familial upbringing, and how modern society views sex.
So strap-on and plug into today’s ride. We’ll be gentle. 💗

Ep. 40 - The Song Poet
The Song Poet, a memoir written by Hmong author, Kao Kalia Yang, becomes the first Hmong story adapted for the operatic stage. It’s a story about a Hmong father’s hope, art, and grief. In this episode, we talk about the stories in The Song Poet and how we relate to them. A few tears were shed as we thought about our parents and their journeys. What are your parents' stories?

Ep. 39 - Let that sh*t go~
We’ve all been there - messy, sticky, and sh*tty situations. In this episode, we dive into some stories from the Am I the A*****e (AITA) Reddit thread, Hmong Talk Facebook page, and submissions from listeners. Join us on these roller coaster of emotions, as we talk through these scenarios. Maybe it’s time to let that sh*t go…

Ep. 38 - Ships Ahoy, Welcoming a Bundle of Joy!
All aboard the ship to parenthood! Whoa.. sounds exciting but scary.
As we grow older, more and more of our peers are entering new chapters of their lives - for many, it’s marriage and having kids. In this episode, we explore new parenthood by picking the brains of our friends, Alexis and Chewmeng, the first couple in our friend group to welcome a bundle of joy. We had a lot of questions on the journey of becoming new parents, mental health during these transitions, and how marriage dynamics might change.
What raging waters have other parents sailed through and what tips do you have?
