We often say that your 20’s are a time for exploration and new experiences, and today’s guest has certainly proved that! You might recognize Ashley Chen from her incredible work as our former Social Media Coordinator or Episode 160 when she was on the pod to talk about transitions in your early 20’s. Now in her mid-20’s, she recently made big steps to quit her corporate job and move to Taiwan for six months. In between that time, she also went on tour with NIKI as her Social Media Manager & Content Creator. We’re so excited to welcome Ashley back to the country and hear all the details of living in her motherland, traveling the world with her favorite artist, and what the next chapter looks like for her!

From Shyness to Satisfaction - Mastering Sexual Communication with Dr. Tara | AsianBossGirl Ep 275

We’ve talked a lot about healthy communication in relationships, but when it comes to the topic of sex, partners often shy away from talking about it directly. On top of that, our experience of pleasure as women is often not prioritized, and some may even wonder: Is it possible for me to reach “the big O”? To help guide these conversations, we’ve brought on Sex & Relationship expert Dr. Tara. A...

    my chapter is called 'understanding understanding' - a large part of relationships is not only communication but it's about understanding where your partner is coming from. why they do the things they do, what's important to them, why I behave the way I do, trying to create meaningful connection, and seeing if there's compatibility not just chemistry. abg podcasts are always thought-provoking and I come out with so much advice to think about. really love them, thank you <3 xx

    Y'all are living the life! No victimhood. Please don't pretend to be victims. I have followed you since i was a voice major in college in the early 2000's and i completely disagree that gays are victims in 2024. The world is in our hands, yet there are so many humans resentful at our silence during the madness of the past few years of delusional gender speech. I am so completely in arms with my straight friends against this nonsense that hurts the straight community because I'm not an a*hole! Please dont be unaware of your expressed privilege of being two dads in a community that supports you.

Us gays are being targeted because we let silliness run a mock. Not myself, but i get it. We need to stand up for truth, and only truth. Not ideological nonsense that only serves young rebelliousness

  • @sareasarea3311

    I am like the opposite-never was innocent about pregnancy. This probably stems from a strong academic background in biology and genetics. There’s always the possibility of loss on my mind, and in therapy I work to try and be happy during pregnancy-I am happy, but also very cautious. I told close friends and family I was pregnant at 4 weeks because I worried about miscarriage even then and wanted a support system. But, thank you, Helen, for sharing your story. Not enough women do, so the rest of us are kind of left in the dark about it. My heart really goes out to you. I cried more than once watching this. There’s nothing you could have done to change the outcome. My personal opinion with chemical pregnancies is that at that point, the child’s quality of life is so severely compromised the body automatically aborts the zygote because it will not survive. Mutations naturally occur during cellular division, which is great for evolution, but oftentimes mutations are more harmful than helpful, and dividing cells have mechanisms in place to detect harmful mutations so that they self-abort. It’s all random chance or probabilities. This is all a wonderful thing nature has created to ensure the survival of our species. I know a lot of moms who miscarried in public restrooms, whose unborn zygotes or fetuses were flushed down a toilet in shock and grief, and just not knowing what to do. I’m glad you were able to capture some of your baby’s remains to honor and remember them. Best of luck to your next pregnancy! Most moms I know, even my own, who had miscarriages, tell me they wouldn’t change a thing because it often led to the birth of their next child. They say the womb is pretty fertile for another kid soon after miscarriage because the environment is just right.

    No, i am a 100% disabled veteran. Bad enough i qualify for SSDI as well. Yest i was a single parent most of that time taising a a small boy and two girls. Funny how during that time mothers snubbed me rudely even as i eatched their kids from school release until parents came home from work. I volunteered 3 days a week in my sons school. No mothers would help on those days. It was strange how the other two days had over 5 moms a day.

      I'm so sorry you didn't have the support within your community, especially as a disabled veteran. Raising children is tough, but nothing is worse than doing it alone. Please reach out for any and all assistance available. As a childless gay man, I can't know what you're dealing with, but as a former teacher can affirm that your actions matter.

    Ok, I am not sure where the half black/Asian guy is going, but I had not issues hanging out in the SGV back in the late 70's, when I went to Cal State LA. Maybe it was a Sundown city back in the first half of the 20th century, but I think he is hyping the race issue. I was all over Monterey Park, San Marino, South Pasadena, etc. The best Chinese restaurants outside of LA Chinatown was in Monterey Park. Was SGV perfect, no, but it was much better than the SFV or San Berdo County and definitely better than the OC. By the way, my kids are Creole/Vietnamese/Chinese.

    My mom, just like Phil's, was very open and honest with me about her miscarriages when I was a kid. She had one a couple years before I was born, I was born in 2001, then another one when I was around 4 or 5. The memory of that second one is faint, because I was so young, but I can remember the feeling, that sadness, it was potent. Whenever I asked what happened, especially with the miscarriage that happened when I was young, my mom put it so beautifully. Something along the lines of, "God just needed them back up there with him right now, he needs their help, their love, to help God with God things." "They are Angels watching over us now, isn't that awesome honey!" Yeah, my 5 year old self did think that was pretty awesome! We moved on, life went on, I remained an only child, until, at the age of 41, my mom got pregnant. Twins. Girls. I guess God made up for it, huh. I'm 22 now, they're 14. God's timing is the best timing. Sending love and good vibes from Long Beach 🤙🏻
