    Listen Now: Model Minority Moms

    Carters, we are so excited to share with you an episode from Model Minority Moms, co-hosted by a beloved previous guest Susan Lieu (The Manicurist's Daughter), Jeanette Park and Kate Wang, three millenial Asian American moms. In this episode, Kulap talks about making of her documentary Origin Story. Talking about your life story with three other women who just understand you so well because they are fellow parents, fellow women, fellow immigrants... it just lets you get to another level of your story, real quick. Model Minority Moms started as a lengthy text-chain between a couple of working moms who were having babies during the pandemic and it morphed into a podcast that gets into the honest and deep conversations about parenthood, careers, relationships, growing up as an immigrant and everything in between. After you listen to Kulap's interview, check out more episodes of Model Minority Moms on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Gargoyles for Joy

    We can’t believe 2025 just started. This episode was recorded after the double whammy of the inauguration and the ongoing LA wildfires, and the Aunties are feeling it.

Ku, meanwhile, is neck-deep in the world of mahjong, which means small dollar bets and gold glitter mahjong tiles. For her sanity, she’s not leaving anytime soon.  We want to hear from you!

She’s the founder of two successful nonprofits, she’s married to a great guy, and she’s raising two beautiful children. She’s gotten everything she’s ever wanted, so why does she feel so unsatisfied?
