    Episode 39: Saying Goodbye... For Now: Reflecting on 2024 and the Journey Ahead
    Dec 25 2024
    It’s been a year of vulnerability, learning, and finding strength in unexpected places. This episode marks a pause in our podcast journey – a brief intermission of Spill the Baby Tea as we gear up for an exciting year ahead. I want to thank each and every one of you for joining me on this journey. Your support means the world to me (I mean, seriously, corporate Helen can not even fathom having her own podcast that YOU ALL tune in to!!!) Truly, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU :) In today’s episode, I’m taking a moment to reflect on the unforgettable journey that 2024 has been—its highs, its lows, and everything in between. From the bittersweet joy of my son turning three to the transformative trips and milestones with family, this year has been one of growth, challenges, and unexpected lessons. I dive into how motherhood has reshaped my drive and priorities (yes, I want to be a grandma one day now!), and how the experience continues to evolve my outlook on life. As we close the chapter on this year together, I invite you to reflect with me—to celebrate how far we’ve come, to honor the lessons learned, and to embrace the journey ahead. Make sure to subscribe to the NEW Spill the Baby Tea podcast feed so you’ll be notified when I make my return! Until then, thank you all for being part of my 2024 highlights.

    Episode 37: Breaking Free from Big 4 Burnout - How Content Creation Changed My Life
    Nov 13 2024
    In this episode of Spill the Baby Tea, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my career journey—from my early days as a valuation manager at Ernst & Young to the big, scary leap into content creation and podcasting. Many of you might be navigating big life or career transitions yourself, or wondering what it's really like to follow a passion outside of the corporate world. I’ll be sharing the highs and lows of both paths: the perks and pressures of working for a global firm, the hard truths about climbing the ladder, and why I ultimately walked away to create something of my own. I also share in this episode some real talk on financial preparedness and advice for making a successful transition. Let’s dive into the path less traveled, and find out if becoming a content creator is as dreamy as it sounds ;) AsianBossGirl’s latest Instagram post for comments/interactions, linked here. #SpillTheBabyTea 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/ __________________________________________ Host: Helen Wu Editor: Victoria Cheng __________________________________________ P A R T N E R S • Wild: Use code “ABG20” for 20% off your first order at WeAreWild.com/US • 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.

    Episode 36: Discipline 101 - Navigating Those Toddler Tantrums
    Oct 23 2024
    In this episode of Spill the Baby Tea, I’m diving into one of the most challenging yet essential aspects of parenting—discipline. As my own 2 (almost 3) year-old toddler reaches that age where boundaries and lessons are really starting to push my buttons! I’ve been exploring the best ways to approach discipline that feel supportive, nurturing, and effective. When do we start disciplining our little ones, and how do we do it in a way that feels right for our families? From positive discipline to time-ins, natural consequences, and setting clear but compassionate boundaries, I did the research so you don't have to. We’ll talk about how to stay calm (even when it’s really hard!) and teach our kids important lessons in a loving, gentle way. If you’re navigating this phase or just getting ready for it, I hope this episode offers some helpful tips and encouragement AsianBossGirl’s latest Instagram post for comments/interactions, linked here. #SpillTheBabyTea 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/ __________________________________________ Host: Helen Wu Editor: Victoria Cheng __________________________________________ P A R T N E R S • Wild: Use code “ABG20” for 20% off your first order at WeAreWild.com/US • Quince: Get free shipping and 365-day returns at Quince.com/abg • 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.

  • Episode 35: My Emotional Rollercoaster with Acupuncture for Fertility - What I Wish I Knew

    Episode 35: My Emotional Rollercoaster with Acupuncture for Fertility - What I Wish I Knew
    Oct 2 2024
    In this episode of Spill the Baby Tea, I’m getting deeply personal as I share my experience with acupuncture on our journey to conceive again after the heart-wrenching loss of our first pregnancy. After our miscarriage, I found myself searching for anything that could help us heal and increase our chances of bringing a little one into our lives. Acupuncture seemed like a gentle, holistic approach, but what I wasn’t prepared for was the emotional toll—on top of the physical discomfort and financial strain. I’ll take you through what it’s like—the sadness, the frustrations, the small moments of hope, the crying in the car... the weight of it all. If you’ve ever been curious about acupuncture for fertility or are navigating your own fertility journey, this episode is for you <3 AsianBossGirl’s latest Instagram post for comments/interactions, linked here. #SpillTheBabyTea 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/ __________________________________________ Host: Helen Wu Editor: Victoria Cheng __________________________________________ P A R T N E R S • 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.

  • Episode 34: Choosing the Right Daycare - Tips for Parents Navigating Early Schooling

    Episode 34: Choosing the Right Daycare - Tips for Parents Navigating Early Schooling
    Sep 11 2024
    Today, we’re uncovering the secrets to finding the perfect daycare that will set your little one on the path to success. We’re talking about the must-ask questions, tips for navigating the application process, and how to spot the red flags before it’s too late. Whether you're just starting the search or drowning in options, we’ve got you covered with everything you need to know to make a confident and informed choice. Get ready to feel empowered and excited about this important milestone in your child’s life! And as promised, here are questions I asked each of the schools we visited: What is the daily schedule like? How is naptime handled? Where do they sleep? Can my child bring a blanket/lovey? What is the staff-to-child ratio? How long have the teachers been at the school? What are the qualifications of the caregivers? Do they have early childhood education degrees? What is the expectation for potty training? Are they expected to wipe themselves? What are the policies on sick children? What are the safety protocols? (Check that the facility is licensed by the state and that they have clear safety protocols in place. Look for things like secured entrances and childproofing.) How does discipline typically work? What is the standard communication of how your child is doing? Daily and periodic check-ins? How do I FEEL after this visit? (This was super important for me to jot down! These feelings are easy to forget after visiting so many schools.)
