Summary

As I approach my 33rd birthday this week, I find myself reflecting on the significance of this milestone. In many ways, turning 33 is the age that, in my adolescent mind, symbolized "being an adult", a time when I thought I would have life all figured out. It is also the age I thought I'd be married. However, the contrast between childhood expectations and the realities of adulthood has become abundantly clear. As I sit down to reflect, I can't escape the feeling that 33 is a new chapter in my life. It's a year brimming with opportunities to confront the fears that both intimidate and exhilarate me. It's a year to break down the barriers of procrastination and finally take action on aspirations. This is the year I want to truly LIVE again! Join me as I reflect on the past year, blow out the candles on the birthday cake, and share what I hope to feel when turning 33. __________________________________________ Host: Melody Cheng Editor: Victoria Cheng __________________________________________ P A R T N E R S • BetterHelp: Get 10% off your first month with code “ABG” at betterhelp.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.

0:00.0	Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to No Dumb Questions with Mel.
0:09.0	First off, can I just thank you for choosing this podcast and episode to listen to. I know you have so many
0:14.6	options to select and I somehow ended up on your playlist and in your ears. Apologies in advance,
0:19.7	I'm just kidding. Today's episode is another reflective one. I kind of like these ones because it allows
0:24.8	us to spend some intentional time with ourselves. Like whenever I listen to other podcasts,
0:28.9	mostly self-help ones, I always walk away wanting to journal and answer the questions they talk to in
0:33.8	episodes. And when I talk about self-help podcast I mostly listen to Mel Robbins and
0:38.9	Jay Shetty a lot of Mel Robbins episodes lately so if you're also looking
0:42.3	for a self-help type of podcast,
0:44.4	I'd recommend Mel Robbins.

0:49.8	and I hope you either walk away entertained

0:54.4	company you need during this time.

1:05.0	Saying out loud feels kind of weird and exciting.
1:07.0	I kind of feel like I'm at the age that truly feels like, quote-unquote, an adult.
1:12.0	And the age I used to fantasize about
1:14.6	when I thought about like my future like 33 just sounds like a sturdy number.
1:20.1	It's really funny because I was talking to my really good friends the Jairwa Twins, Justin Jason, and we're the same age.
1:25.3	And they're like, ugh, 33 sounds kind of like eh. And I'm like, I love the sound of 33.
