New Episode of Living Well with Janet: How to Heal from Back-to-Back Breakups
Dec 18, 202400:01:58Tap to summarizeI recently went through a breakup, again. Heartbreak is never easy, and when you're dating with the intention to find your life partner while trying to beat a biological clock, it involves a new level of hurt, grief, and sense of urgency to move on. How do we know when we've healed? How do we approach asking for support from friends and family? How can we focus on hope when all we want to do is be angry and negative? I talk about all of this and more in this episode.To listen to this episode of Living Well with Janet, you can find it on its new feed:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2UhaWKTbWHo8jKe7Xzm8WJ?si=73ce4856f7624188 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/living-well-with-janet/id1779609453 Or, search for it in your podcast player of choice!

Dec 13, 202401:07:45Tap to summarizeWhen you’re planning to get married, the legal side of the process can be potentially intimidating and uncomfortable to discuss with your partner. After all, you never want to go into a marriage thinking that it’s going to end. At the same time, it’s important to know what happens on the legal side when you sign those papers, to read the fine print just like you would for any other contract. So today, we’ve brought on family law attorney Alex Payne to answer as many questions as we could think of, so you can get a jump start on your research. Is it best to keep your finances joint or separate? How does social media play a role in divorce proceedings? And the big question everyone always wonders - should you get a prenup??💗 AsianBossGirl Live - THE BFF TOUR 💗Calling ABGs & ABBs in the NYC & LA area - we’re hittin’ the road, baby!

Transcribe →Episode 281: Growing Up with a Sister Is Like Having a Built-In Best Friend & Worst Enemy
Jul 19, 2024Tap to summarizeFor better or for worse, having a sister is a lifelong friendship that you didn’t choose for yourself. Janet and Helen know just how tumultuous, but also reassuring, growing up with sisters can be. Janet and her younger sister Patty have very different personalities and interests, while Helen and her older sister Anne fought A LOT as kids. But ultimately, we know that the other sister always has our back through the heartbreaks and joys of life. We’re also curious – does having a sister affect how you view or interact with female friendships? Grab your sister (or chosen sisters) and let us know what you think in the comments!Become an ABG Bestie to get new audio episodes ad-free, monthly “Dear ABG” AMA sessions, discounts on merch, and shout-outs in our episodes. https://abg.supercast.com/ __________________________________________Hosts: Janet Wang and Helen WuContributing Editor: Haemee Kang__________________________________________P A R T N E R S• Shopify: Sign up for a $1 per month trial period at shopify.com/abg• ZocDoc: Download the ZocDoc app for FREE at ZocDoc.com/ABG• Pampers: Check out Pampers Cruisers 360 today!• BetterHelp: Get 10% off your first month with code “ABG” at betterhelp.com/ABG__________________________________________C O N N E C T W I T H U S• Subscribe and Follow us @asianbossgirl on Apple Podcasts/Spotify/Amazon Music/YouTube/Instagram/Twitter/Facebook• Listener Survey: Let us know your thoughts on the podcast here• Email: hello@asianbossgirl.com__________________________________________S U P P O R T U S• Merch: asianbossgirl.myshopify.com• Donate: anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/support• More about us at asianbossgirl.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Transcribe →Episode 250: How Green Juice Hangover Cures Led to a Lifelong Friendship for Helen & Janet
Dec 15, 2023Tap to summarizeIn the final round of our 1-on-1 conversation series, Janet and Helen share how they went from meeting each other as “a friend of a friend” to the close, protective sisterhood they now share. Their friendship dynamic holds many similarities (they’re always down for a night out or new adventure), but also many differences (having traditional vs. non-conventional life paths, or being extroverted vs. introverted). It’s these differences in particular that make their friendship so meaningful - Helen may be a social bee who buzzes around the room but Janet is the flower who embraces the bee for a deep conversation.__________________________________________Hosts: Janet Wang and Helen WuEditor: Michelle Hsieh__________________________________________P A R T N E R S• Odd Pieces: Check out oddpieces.com/abg and get 15% off your puzzle with code “ABG”• Pampers: For trusted protection, trust Pampers, the #1 pediatrician recommended brand.• BetterHelp: Get 10% off your first month with code “ABG” at betterhelp.com/ABG__________________________________________C O N N E C T W I T H U S• Subscribe and Follow us @asianbossgirl on Apple Podcasts/Spotify/Amazon Music/YouTube/Instagram/Twitter/Facebook• Listener Survey: Let us know your thoughts on the podcast here• Shoutouts: Give a shoutout on the podcast here• Email: hello@asianbossgirl.com__________________________________________S U P P O R T U S• Merch: asianbossgirl.myshopify.com• Donate: anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/support• More about us at asianbossgirl.com Learn more about your ad choices.
