Welcome to ABG, Asian Boss Girl, a podcast for the modern-day Asian American woman.

My name is Helen, I'm Mel, and I'm Janet.

0:18.7

So here at ABG, we do a lot of reflection and inner work, and one way to accomplish that,

0:24.4

at least on a very simple level, is by taking these five to sometimes 20-minute online tests that

0:30.2

tell you a little bit more about yourself. In the past, we've been able to put structure and words

0:34.6

to some of our own personal emotions with personality tests like Myers-Briggs and the Enneagram

you must recognize what type of person you are by using this four tendencies framework to make

1:25.3

your life better. I first heard about Gretchen Rubin when she was a guest on one of the podcasts that

1:30.1

I listened to. It was one of those like either wellness, psychology, or life hack ones, and I remember

1:35.2

being really drawn to her. So prior to her happiness work, she was actually a very busy and successful

1:40.5

lawyer who clerked for various Supreme Court justices. So when you listen to her explain her theories,

1:45.6

she's incredibly thorough, but also very practical in how to apply the habits. And it makes sense,
