As we reflect on season 3, we can’t help but feel so thankful for each and every single one of you who joined us on our journey this year. A year ago, we were both lost, finding our footing, wanting to start something but letting our doubts and fears get in the way. There was so much growth that has happened in our lives and in our friendship this season that led to Christine starting her own life coaching business, Regina starting her own clothing line, and us joining forces with AsianBossGirl and First of All podcasts to throw our first live event, "Off the Mic."Ideas that were once dreams are now coming to fruition. This week, we talk about what season 3 has meant to us and answer some of your most asked questions!Thank you for supporting us, thank you for believing in us. Grateful for another season, see you guys in 2020!For more information about life coaching with Christine, you can contact her directly at www.xoxochristine.comFollow us on social!Christine - Instagram: @xoxochristinechen; Twitter: @chri

From making videos in his apartment in Ohio to having one of the most popular shows on Buzzfeed, Steven Lim has done it all. After giving up his “stable” career in engineering to pursue the entertainment industry, he found himself in the spotlight living the LA dream he had spent years wishing for. He started to pave the way for Asian American representation and creating content that brought joy to others. Though he seemingly got everything he had hoped for, it didn’t take long for him to become jaded and confused.This week, we talk to our dear friend Steven about the trials and tribulations he went through while working in this seemingly picturesque industry, and why it ultimately led him to take a mental breather in NYC. What are the biggest differences between east and west coast? Is everyone in the industry really that terrible? How has his mindset changed about the industry since starting it a decade ago?

Growing up is hard enough as it is. Growing up as a star in the spotlight and constantly being judged on who you can or can't be, what you should wear, what you said or didn't say... it's suffocating.This week, our little sister Megan Lee joins us to share her story in the entertainment industry. Ever since she was a little girl, Megan knew she wanted to be an entertainer. She loved dancing, signing, acting, and saw the beauty in being able to positively influence others through performance - but after moving Korea to pursue it at full force, the harsh realities of what was expected of her started to settle in and she had to grow up really fast.Megan opens up about how the industry how affected her mental health, how she was able to overcome her rock bottom and why she still chooses to stay in the industry today.You can buy Megan's amazing album "I AM" here:https://open.spotify.com/album/4cKwHLKJZOlaXf0Ne2hPjQFollow Megan - Instagram: @hellomeganleeTHENEWSWORTHYBe sure to check out thenewsworthy.com to get yo

The crossover episode we’ve all been waiting for!!Janet from Asian Boss Girl and Minji from First of All join us this week to talk about all the times they’ve had to hit the restart button. From changing industries to bad break ups to moving cities, everyone has had to start over. How do you know when it’s time to take a risk and pursue a different path without feeling you’re falling behind?Transitions take a lot of self reflection and self motivation that more often than not leads to self doubt, so how do we use this time for self discovery rather than self destruction?Follow Our Guests & Their Podcasts!Minji Chang - Instagram: @minjeezy ; Podcast: @firstofallpodJanet Wang - Instagram: @janetdoubleu ; Podcast: @asianbossgirlGet your tickets to Off the Mic with PIP x ABG x FoAhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/off-the-mic-intimate-conversation-with-asian-american-women-podcasters-tickets-71330193529THENEWSWORTHYBe sure to check out thenewsworthy.com to get your daily news in less than 10 minutes every morning!F

Triggers. We all have them and yet most times we're unaware of them. They have a way of creeping up on us, catching us off guard, and evoking the strongest emotions in us ranging from intense sadness to deep rooted anger. When left unaddressed, they wreak havoc in not only our lives but the lives of everyone around us as well #triggerstrigger So how do we find our triggers? Where do we even start? How do we learn to let go of something that has dictated our feels for so long? This week, we dive deep into our personal triggers and learn to address them one by one. It can take years to truly understand how deep our triggers run, but by slowly identifying them, we can learn to set them free.

Women are catty. Women get jealous of each other. Women hate other women. These were narratives that were written for us before we even had the chance to decide for ourselves - it’s no surprise when we constantly feel pitted against one another. But what if it didn’t have to be that way? This week we talk about the importance of women supporting women. In a world where we are taught that if another women succeeds, we have failed, how do we change our perception of what female empowerment truly means? How do we get from hating on other women to genuinely cheering our sisters on and uplifting one another? Is it possible to truly be happy for other women without having that define our own success?

It’s completely natural for us to seek external validation. As young children, we sought our parents approval, teachers approval, friends approval. We were always waiting for someone else to tell us we were right, or cool, or pretty and that is how we started to view our self worth and gained our self understanding, from other people telling us what was good or bad.  Approval from others makes us feel good about ourselves, but how long does it really last? Will that bring us actual fulfillment? How do we learn to be confident from within and trust our own truths? Follow us on social!

Our 20's can be a super confusing and frustrating time. It's no wonder that 80% of us go through a quarter life crisis where we're trying to make sense of things. Where are we going? Are we moving fast enough? Which path is the "right" path? Am I making the "right" decisions to get to where I want/should be at in 5, 10 years? This week we bring on our amazing, extremely talented, and super punny girlfriend, Jenn Le who is currently going through her quarter life crisis. We go through the different phases of any crisis and reflect on what is it that we're searching for. Follow Jenn - Instagram: @_jdle Follow us on social!

There has always been a clear distinction in which men and women handle their feelings. For women, it’s okay to openly cry and talk about their feelings but for men, they are taught to suppress any emotion that isn’t anger or happiness. This stark contrast in gender expectations causes a whole lotta pain and assumptions on both sides and ends with us never truly understanding one another. This week, Christine’s brother Michael and fiancé Jack join in on the conversation about feelings. What were the expectations they faced as young boys that forced them to suppress their emotions? What were the consequences of that as they grew into men? How did they finally learn how to feel their feels and then be brave enough to express them outwardly? Listen in! It’s a good one, full of laughs, tears, and emotions!

You’ve been good friends up until this point. They’ve been there for you…kind of…they’ve got your back…kind of…they've...wait..things are starting to not add up. Toxic friendships usually fly under the radar, it creeps up on you, the manipulation increases, and soon you lose sight of what’s true or false. Are we truly friends? Do real friends treat each other that way? And why do I feel mentally and emotionally exhausted from this friendship?! This week, we dive into the signs and red flags that you can pick up on if you’re in a toxic friendship/relationship and what you can do about it. We want to believe in the best in people, but what if they take advantage of that and you? Follow us on social!

The movies make love seem easy, an instant connection between the pair, a slight disagreement in the middle, but in the end, a happily ever after. From a very young age, we are taught to chase love. It allows us to have a partner in life, to have the family we've always dreamed of, and to feel accepted for everything we are. But what happens when we want all of those things, but are ultimately afraid to love? This week, we dive into how society has often romanticized love and make it seem so effortless. We discuss our fears when it comes opening up and being vulnerable to giving/receiving love and how those fears have affected our relationships in both the past and present. Are we all capable of opening ourselves up to love or are some of us wired differently? Follow us on social!

What separates a career from a hobby? Can you pursue what you love and make a career out of it? Do you keep your hobby a hobby so you can fully enjoy it without the pressures of making it a business? What if you want to start a business from something that started off as a hobby? This week we chat about the two different mentalities when it comes to work: chasing your passion or working purely to make a living. There's so much doubt when it comes to what're doing with our lives and how we should prioritize - on one hand, we are taught to chase what we love, the other, that work is work, do what you have to do and save play for later. So which path will you take? Follow us on social!

Friends fight, and we did too. The conversation becomes uncomfortable, emotions are flowing everywhere, and in the heat of the moment, it seems like this could be the end of what you thought was a lasting friendship. So how do you determine whether the friendship is worth pursuing? Can you even recover from a fight? This week, we talk about the fight we had, what led up to it, how it happened, and why we decided our friendship was worth fighting for. Follow us on social!

We’re often told to find ourselves - like we are some lost wandering soul that if found, will make us feel complete and give us a sense of self. This concept has been so drilled into our heads, that we start feel like a shell, incomplete because it feels like part of us is missing and we have to go out to find it. But what if we took a different approach - instead of searching for the missing piece, let’s learn to realize that you were never missing anything at all, that everything you ever needed was within yourself. We must learn that what’s more important than “finding yourself” is to understand yourself - understand your emotions, understand your actions, understand your perspective on life. Understanding yourself takes time, patience, discipline, and years of dissecting your actions and behaviors, but when you finally do you can finally let go of all the expectations and fulfill your own prophecy.

"College are the best years of your life," they said, "It'll be fun," they said. Whether you're prepping for college or done with college, I think we can all agree that those 4 years are a pretty significant chapter in our lives. Through the tests, parties, new friends, we come out the other side as a new person. We spend years, tears, and sweat prepping for college, but what happens when we actually get there? How do we make those lifelong friends everyone talks about? How do we enjoy these "best years" of our lives? How do we fully experience college? This week we reminisce on our college years, the good, the bad, and the what we would've done differently. College is different for everyone, but it's up to us to make the best of it... college and the rest of your life! Follow us on social!
