Doctor, lawyer, accountant? Nope, nope and nope. Join us as we recount our very non-traditional career paths that rebelled against stereotypical expectations we often hear from our Asian parents. From choosing our college majors on a whim to making career pivots, we share our regrets and triumphs as we navigate what it means to build a purpose-driven career that centers our creativity and lifestyle.

What was your college major? Does it apply to what you’re doing or plan to do in your career? Share with us @yourasianbestties. Fellow Art, English and Psychology majors rise up!

Is it written in the stars? In this fun episode we explore our Myers Briggs (MBTI) personality types and astrology signs. Spoiler alert: we’re all Libras and INFJs! We chat through what resonates, what doesn’t, and how these categories give us a language to express ourselves and navigate our social dynamics.

Do you identify with your MBTI and astrology signs? Are you a Libra, an INFJ, or even...both?

Let us know @yourasianbesties!

We’re on a mission to break stereotypes. Not only does it lead to feeling underestimated or being put in awkward situations, but it can be extremely harmful. From mixed messages we received growing up, frustrating struggles with whether we’d ever feel “Asian enough,” and always being acutely aware of the perceptions of others, we share the fine line we constantly walked of honoring ourselves and perpetuating assumptions. If you’ve ever experienced a microaggression, macroaggression, or have been stereotyped (or you haven’t but are curious about why it’s harmful in order to develop self-awareness), this episode is for you.

Why survive when you can thrive? If you’ve ever felt like you had to suppress your creativity, ethnicity, name, or voice to avoid being othered and are ready to reclaim your identity, we got you and we’re here for you.

It’s rare to find friends you can have deep heart-to-hearts with, and even rarer to have these conversations in a public way. Here at Your Asian Besties we invite you to grab your favorite beverage and join us — Rée, Maryn, and Lia — as we reflect on our past, examine our present, and share our hopes for the future from our combined Japanese-American, Korean-American, and Filipino-American eyes.
