10/01/19 • 63 min

Perfectly Imperfect with Christine and Regina

From making videos in his apartment in Ohio to having one of the most popular shows on Buzzfeed, Steven Lim has done it all. After giving up his “stable” career in engineering to pursue the entertainment industry, he found himself in the spotlight living the LA dream he had spent years wishing for. He started to pave the way for Asian American representation and creating content that brought joy to others. Though he seemingly got everything he had hoped for, it didn’t take long for him to become jaded and confused. This week, we talk to our dear friend Steven about the trials and tribulations he went through while working in this seemingly picturesque industry, and why it ultimately led him to take a mental breather in NYC. What are the biggest differences between east and west coast? Is everyone in the industry really that terrible? How has his mindset changed about the industry since starting it a decade ago?

#60 - Overcoming Rock Bottom with Megan Lee (@hellomeganlee)

Growing up is hard enough as it is. Growing up as a star in the spotlight and constantly being judged on who you can or can't be, what you should wear, what you said or didn't say... it's suffocating. This week, our little sister Megan Lee joins us to share her story in the entertainment industry. Ever since she was a little girl, Megan knew she wanted to be an entertainer. She loved dancing, signing, acting, and saw the beauty in being able to positively influence others through performance - but after moving Korea to pursue it at full force, the harsh realities of what was expected of her started to settle in and she had to grow up really fast. Megan opens up about how the industry how affected her mental health, how she was able to overcome her rock bottom and why she still chooses to stay in the industry today.

#62 - Season 3 Finale with Q&A

As we reflect on season 3, we can’t help but feel so thankful for each and every single one of you who joined us on our journey this year. A year ago, we were both lost, finding our footing, wanting to start something but letting our doubts and fears get in the way. There was so much growth that has happened in our lives and in our friendship this season that led to Christine starting her own life coaching business, Regina starting her own clothing line, and us joining forces with AsianBossGirl and First of All podcasts to throw our first live event, "Off the Mic." Ideas that were once dreams are now coming to fruition. This week, we talk about what season 3 has meant to us and answer some of your most asked questions! Thank you for supporting us, thank you for believing in us. Grateful for another season, see you guys in 2020!
