Stephanie Chen

After 30+ years of being an Asian woman, Stephanie Chen grew tired of feeling underrepresented, unheard, and misunderstood. "There must be other women out there feeling this way," she mused. "I wish I could hear their stories. Let's make a podcast!" Ok, so maybe it wasn't that simple. Maybe it was an idea developed over years, from hundreds of conversations, with dozens of amazing women, all who felt a little lost, a little defiant, and more than a little silenced. Here are their stories.

    Lost at Sea

    Finance Degree or Art Degree? Play it safe or Shoot for the Moon? What's the right order? Sculptor, Caretaker, Job seeker, and Dreamer - Debbie Vu of Alief, Houston discusses why being (only) good at school can leave you (really) lost when it comes to real life.   @art_dtv Takeaways: Spending 90% of your time applying for jobs isn't efficient or effective.Aiming for jobs lower than your skill set is actually hurting you.Your resume should reflect where you want to be, not just where you were.Rejections should not define you. You NEED to know your worth. In everything.You NEED a passion project outside of your job.Disclaimer:  I am not a professional coach, therapist, (anything, really) - My opinions in this episode are purely from my own experience and observations working across corporate, small business, consulting, and nonprofit organizations for 16+ years. Listen at your own risk! Note 1: Editing this episode made me realize where I got "useless potato" from (last episode, recorded after this one). So, thanks Debbie. To us, celebrating potato-ship. Potato-ness? Note 2: Talking to Debbie made me realize why I call everyone "girllll or dude" indiscriminately - it's an Alief thing?  I need to update it to be "huumann..." or maybe.. "BeinG" *LinkedIn = an American job hunting / networking website. They are not paying me to mention them. They should. Recorded: 1/4/2023, the day after my cousin and I were harassed/chased in NY at a subway station by a man asking if we were from China.
