Summary

We just celebrated Lunar New Year, and a lot of us took time to clean up our spaces and revive the energy around our homes. As we went through this process, one question that came to our minds was: how do we optimize our surroundings according to feng shui? Feng Shui is the Ancient Chinese Art of arranging objects in an environment to achieve a balance of harmony. Today, we’re talking to Sara Jane Ho, the star of Netflix’s Mind Your Manners and the founder of Chinese finishing school, Institute Sarita, where students are taught etiquette and lifetime skills. She has an extensive background in the art of feng shui, and she shares with us some best practices, such as where to place your bed, the importance of having a commanding position in your workspace, and how to decorate your living space with balance and respect for your home in mind. __________________________________________ Hosts: Melody Cheng, Janet Wang, Helen Wu Contributing Editor: Haemee Kang Editor: Michelle Hsieh __________________________________________ P A R T N E R S • Liquid IV: Receive 20% off your order using promo code ABG at liquid-iv.com • The Lavendaire Lifestyle: Discover new episodes every Sunday on YouTube, Spotify, & Apple Podcasts, or visit lavendaire.com to learn more. • Let’s Get Deep: Get 20% off this card game with code ABG at whatdoyoumeme.com/letsgetdeep • Stitch Fix: Get $20 off your first purchase at stitchfix.com/abg __________________________________________ C O N N E C T W I T H U S • Subscribe and Follow us @asianbossgirl on Apple Podcasts/Spotify/Amazon Music/YouTube/Instagram/Twitter/Facebook • Listener Survey: Let us know your thoughts on the podcast here • Shoutouts: Give a shoutout on the podcast here • Email: [email protected] __________________________________________ S U P P O R T U S • Merch: asianbossgirl.myshopify.com • Donate: anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/support • More about us at asianbossgirl.com Learn more about your ad choices.
