For our final episode before our hiatus, we wanted to take time to celebrate the amazing community we have built with you all over the last 7 years. And this is a BIG MOMENT, because we’ve contacted someone who’s never been a guest on the podcast, but was talked about way back in Episode 2. That’s right, it’s THE fuccboi from Episode 2: Fuckboi - The Modern Day Player, here to finally share his side of the story. Full transparency, he is a friend of ours and it’s all in the past now, but we’re so excited that he was willing to be a guest on this episode. We also invited Carla, the spiritual medium from Episode 98, to do one more psychic reading before we embark on this new chapter, and Philip Wang to offer some words of wisdom as someone who has been supporting us from the very start.  We want to thank all our friends and listeners who shared heartfelt messages and well wishes for this hiatus. We love our community so much and none of this would have been possible without you. This may be our last episode for a while, but this isn’t a goodbye, it’s a see you online, and see you IRL! 💗 AsianBossGirl Live - THE BFF TOUR 💗 Calling ABGs & ABBs in the NYC & LA area - we’re hittin’ the road, baby - catch us ONE LAST TIME!

It’s true - after 7 amazing years and over 300 episodes, we will be hitting pause on the AsianBossGirl podcast. This was by no means an easy decision, and we have many reasons, both individually and as a group, for why a hiatus felt right - all of which we share in this episode. This podcast has evolved so much since our corporate days and far exceeded our expectations - we are so grateful for all the fun moments and support from listeners over the years.  But this is not our last episode!! We will be back next week to celebrate what we’re most excited about moving forward (and maybe bringing back some familiar faces?!) For our very last episode, we’d love to hear some voicemails from you! To leave us a message, call +1-818-659-5834 The voicemail box will close on January 7, 2024 💗 AsianBossGirl Live - THE BFF TOUR 💗 Calling ABGs & ABBs in the NYC & LA area - we’re hittin’ the road, baby - catch us ONE LAST TIME!
