December 31, 2023 15:30 - 1 hour - 56.7 MBHey FOA fam! It's been a hot minute but Minji comes back to close out an insane year of ups and downs, and some big wins and losses. Did anyone else live their best and worst year ever at the same exact time??? In a moment of exhausted reflection and hopeful encouragement, Minji sends you all a ginormous hug in her "wearing a giant hoodie (with the hoodie yanked 90% closed of course) on a comfy couch with a giant mug of tea" energy. Thank you and adios 2023. Mentioned in this episode: Wat...

#190 - From Overthinking to DOING - We FINALLY made a short film! - with Scott Sayasithsena
July 07, 2023 14:00 - 1 hour - 82.9 MBThere are few things more satisfying than taking an idea and turning it into a reality. Some call that manifesting (ahem, like Minji) and some call it just taking simple actions to achieve a goal. Potato, po-tah-to. Whatever you call it, there's SO much that gets in the way, all the imposter syndrome (bleh), the self-sabotage (ugh), the literal years of procrastinating (yeesh), legit life/time/money challenges, and so on and so forth. In this episode, Minji celebrates the creation of her fir...
#189 - Making Sacrifices, Pivoting, & Persisting w/ Trus Real
June 28, 2023 14:00 - 1 hour - 91.7 MBIn the very wise words of our goddess Aaliyah (RIP) - If at first you don't succeed, dust yourself off and try again. In theory (and in lyrics/beats that slap thanks to the GOAT Timbaland), it's amazing. In practice, it's pretty freakin' hard. To chase dreams, to pursue life goals, to endeavor the seemingly impossible...in this day and age...in this economy...let's be real, it's easier to just stay in bed and not even try at all. But for better or worse, we push on. In this episode, Minji si...
#188: Solo Episode: Messing Up, Apologizing, Forgiving...& Thriving
June 21, 2023 14:00 - 1 hour - 64 MBIn this solo episode, Minji shares a personal story about unintentionally being a total a-hole, letting down one of her best friends, spiraling, prolonging the awkwardness (as one does), making it worse, freaking out a bit more, and then finally taking steps to make it right again. As universal and commonplace as these mistakes and rifts can be, there's a lot going on underneath it all - self-sabotaging, people-pleasing, being a teeny bit narcissistic/lazy/careless, and/or going into overwhe...
#187 - Demanding & Exploring Better Sex Education with Anne Hodder-Shipp
June 16, 2023 14:00 - 1 hour - 76.6 MBLet's talk about sex! Because despite our global society's obsession with it, we're still frighteningly undereducated about it. While more conversations and information on sexuality are shared much more openly due to social media content and online resources, longstanding attitudes and deeply rooted cultural beliefs can take a lot longer for a person to become open to learn. Some of us have been trained to fear sex, some have been shamed to explore their curiosity, some have been traumatize...
#186 - Stepping into Main Character Energy w/Priska
June 09, 2023 14:00 - 1 hour - 68.2 MBAs Minji has created this space and inadvertently shared a lot about herself over the course of First Of All's 180+ episodes, she's changed quite a bit. Grown on a good day, unraveled on a bad one. And one thing that she has intentionally confronted in 2023 is to not only make space for others but how take it up herself. In this episode we get a little one-on-one friendship time with Two Horny Goats co-host and beloved soul sister Priska Liang-Kim to find out more about our FOA host as she's...
#185 - F*ck Up, Make Mistakes & Be Messy with Adele Lim (Director of Joy Ride)
May 30, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 65.1 MBA lot of good can come out of striving for excellence - a high standard of quality, valuable skillsets and smarts, plus amazingly positive contributions to self and society. It can also have a dark side in the form of all-consuming and suffocating perfectionism - an existence where there's no room for error or subpar...well, anything. Every flaw, every "mistake" is irreparable or at the very least, a lasting source of guilt and shame. So many people are familiar with this kind of pressure, a...

#184- Seize the Day with Chef Viet Pham (Iron Chef)
May 23, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 91.3 MBYou know how they say live your life to the fullest and every day as if it's your last? And you know how most of us think "Oh that's nice, I should do that. I will do that."...and then, even with the BEST of intentions, we just don't? (No judgment here, it's a super normal part of life.) Let's face it, it's so easy to stay in autopilot - chasing goals, maybe taking some important relationships for granted, & doing the most even if it's not particularly (or at all) fulfilling. In this episode...
#183 - Owning The Narrative & Telling Your Story with Author Emily Inouye Huey
May 16, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 67 MBFar too many times in life, our narratives get told by others. Sometimes, being a passive passenger in the journey can feel the safest and most comfortable...until you realize the consequences of not speaking up on your or your community's behalf. Like misinformation, isolation, erasure, and even the exploitation of narratives to serve another's agenda. We're all becoming much more keenly aware of how this has been playing out for real all around us, and many of us are wondering how to appro...

#178 - A Conversation On Asian Racism & Intraracial Prejudice with Sami Jayne
August 31, 2022 19:00 - 1 hour - 74.7 MBRacism is a very complicated topic to broach. It can intimidate, trigger, and overwhelm so many so easily because of how pervasive and personal it gets, on top of how exhausted so many feel. Sometimes it feels like we've made some tiny headway towards a baseline respect, maybe even a bit of progress towards equity. Sometimes it feels like we've regressed or have come to a complete standstill. Meanwhile, the nuance of who gets put under the social microscope has evolved and includes more comm...

#176 - Learning How To Protect Yourself & Lawyer Up with Chuong Bui
June 22, 2022 19:00 - 1 hour - 81.1 MBNo one likes a lawsuit. Lawyers are commonly vilified for exorbitant billable hours and sharklike tendencies.

#175 - Unpacking Celebrity & Influencer Culture with Kevyn Fong (Level4Alpha) & Priska (Two Horny Goats Podcast)
June 15, 2022 19:00 - 1 hour - 87.5 MBFrom the days of Marilyn to The Beatles to Michael Jackson, Kim K & Logan Paul, it's safe to say that celebrity culture has evolved and transformed in its way into becoming an everyday part of our modern life. Now celebrity status includes "everyday" content creators or influencers who make funny skits from their respective glass rectangles, or even say.. podcast hosts. (Btw, we're self-aware here at FOA to know we are not celebrity status but do influence in our own way to our beloved brill...

You might have 100% expected it to happen for you at some point when you were good and "established", even aspired to it and considered it a key m...

May 24, 2022 19:00 - 1 hour - 87.5 MBMotherhood is a monumental, life-changing and sacred experience for those who embark on it.
