Women in the Workplace

In honor and recognition of Women’s History Month, I wanted to write a post about my thoughts on women in the workplace. It’s not something I thought about too much, until my work placed me in a women’s leadership course. It made me think of a lot of things, actually. My sister, who is anContinue reading “Women in the Workplace”

My non-traditional traditional Asian parents

I’m going to preface this post by saying I LOVE my parents. We’ve definitely have rubbed each other the wrong way at different points in my life, but I’ve never doubted their love for me and the sacrifices they’ve made. I mean, they left their country to go to a place where they didn’t knowContinue reading “My non-traditional traditional Asian parents”

Women’s Health

Women’s health is always an interesting topic in my mind. I don’t want to go down the rabbit hole too much, but basically, not as much research has been done for women’s health as general (men’s) health.

As an introvert, I find networking a necessary evil. I know it’s important for my professional life, but the idea ofContinue reading “Networking with Lunchclub”

Baby’s first Lunar New Year!

Happy Lunar New Year to anybody who celebrates it! It’s a bit bittersweet this year, because this is a really important day in my (Vietnamese) culture, and it would’ve been even more special since it’s Goober’s (my baby) first new year. However, due to COVID, we’re not gathering. Being in a mixed race relationship, myContinue reading “Baby’s first Lunar New Year!”

No Gifting Relationship

So, I’ve talked before about how I think my hubs and I have an unconventional relationship. One of the best things, in my mind, is not giving each other gifts! I should clarify – we don’t usually get gifts for all the occasions that people would normally think – birthdays, Valentine’s day, Christmas, anniversaries, etc.Continue reading “No Gifting Relationship”
