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?

#49 - Making the "Right" Decision

Perfectly Imperfect is the show for those who are searching for growth and acceptance. As two Asian American women, Christine Chen and Regina Fang started having real and raw conversations after work 10+ years ago about our community and us as 20 something women. Now we’ve turned our 3am talks to this podcast where we can openly share thoughts + feels about mental health, friendships, and life lessons we’ve learned along the way. 
We are the sisters in your life that believe in building family through honesty, vulnerability and openness with ourselves and each other. We create meaningful and deep connections that make you feel loved and seen. You are not alone, come join our perfectly imperfect conversations!

As 2022 is winding down, we wanted to share some lessons we've learned about how to grow more meaningful and vulnerable adult friendships. Not all friendships are built the same and it can definitely be challenging to decide to either evolve with your friends or know when you've outgrown each other. We also chat about how to be your own friend first and how to attract the friendships that foster deeper connections.

#99 - Adult Friendship Glow Up (20's vs. 30's lessons)

We're diving right into this season with the most requested topic: intergenerational trauma. This is a topic we've talked about before in Ep 85 (feel free to listen to that again as well), but since then, we've learned even more about identifying the patterns, learning how everything is connected, and sharing our own experiences on how we're trying different tools to break the cycle within ourselves and in our own families.

#97 - The Overdue Catch-up

As 2021 winds down and we begin to dream about all the amazing goals we'd like to reach for 2022, we're faced with the same questions: What's my purpose? How do I want to keep growing? What impact do I want to have on my world?
In other words, how do you become "an artist of life and start creating your dream life through self discovery, self love, and living a meaningful life?" This week, our very special guest, Aileen Xu (@Lavendaire), not only has the answers for these questions but also the very practical guides on starting this journey for yourself. She's a mogul, content creator, entrepreneur, and a beautiful inspirational soul who we've learned so much from. Tune in on our final episode this year! Cheers!!

#96 - Your 2022 Guide: How to Create Your Dream Life with Aileen Xu (@Lavendaire)

Ever felt like someone was mad at you for no reason? Or that you felt sad when someone else got a promotion? Projection happens when you least expect it, but it can feel just as painful as the actual event happening to you. This week, we dive deep into the situations where we noticed that we were projecting or being projected onto. The scenarios can be hard to detect, and often times make more sense after it has happened, but when you do the inner work, you can learn to distinguish what is truly bothering you or the other person.
