Hi Chingoos

Happy Thanksgiving Chingoos! We simply can't believe it's our 3rd Thanksgiving with you all. Thank you for your love and continued support. You have no idea how much it means to us. Join us today as we have a warm holiday conversation about our favorite Thanksgiving food, episodes, attire...etc. Until we meet again, please stay safe, be kind to yourself and to others. Chingoos Out (until next year)! 

Today we interview our mini chingoos - River & Isla - the coolest sisters in town! They give us the 411 on all their favorite things and the very big dreams they hold for the future. We had so much fun catching up with the girls, we hope this brings you belly laughs and smiles too. Make sure to listen, subscribe and leave us messages on our instagram @hi_chingoos or at hichingoos@gmail.comChingoos Out! ✌

Hey Podcasters Anonymous - If we can do it, anyone can do it... No, really... we are pretty surprised we figured it out, while we are still figuring it out, if you get our gist.We still have a long road ahead, but we took a leap a faith and just got it started. Sometimes that's the hardest part. In this episode we talk about how we got started and the different programs we use to put this production together. Who would have thunk that three gal pals could produce, record and edit their own show! TA DA, cause we do it... Every other Wednesday! See you there :) And thank you to our faithful listeners, you keep us going. You're the bee's knees!

Come chat with us today as we tackle a topic that's been on our minds and bodies lately: BURNOUTMake sure to listen, subscribe and leave us messages on our instagram @hi_chingoos or at hichingoos@gmail.com. Chingoos Out!

This week we're bringing back a second round of "Answering your burning questions!" We went into this episode thinking we were going to keep it light and short, but when you bring three Virgos to a room, you know how things go. We each picked a superpower, talk about our greatest fears, and what we'd tell our younger selves and our older selves. Tune in as we give way too much care on topics we probably shouldn't have given that much thought about. We're overly critical and can't help it, but that's why you love us. Okay, no, actually these are deep and juissay! Hope you enjoy!

[Enter hot topic here] Roe vs Wade... Pro Life vs. Pro Choice... Women's rights... then sprinkle in your upbringing as a Korean American youth, growing up in the church, the countless hours of k-dramas where losing/aborting the unborn child is the climax of the storyline. Any of this peak your interest? Then tune in to this episode to hear our thoughts, how our upbringing may or may not have shaped our views on this hot topic, and get uncomfortable with us.

Ever stop to wonder why you are the way you are? Maybe start to look at your family and upbringing for clues. One of our listeners recommended we listen to and discuss an episode of Research Sense titled, "Korean American Families and their Influence on Mental Health. I'm going to be honest, we went into the recording thinking, oh, this might be a short episode. But once we started sharing our personal stories and got deeper into the discussion, the conversation started flowing, like #나야가라 폭포. It was a flood of memories of our past and there were moments we could and couldn't relate. We invite you to listen and share your thoughts? What do you think? Do you think your upbringing  has effected your mental health? #emotionaldamage #sorrynotsorry #asianpride Make sure to listen, subscribe and leave us messages on our instagram @hi_chingoos or at hichingoos@gmail.com. Chingoos Out!

We asked you to send us your burning questions, and chingoos, you did not dissapoint. Some were silly, some were serious, some got us to confront the uncomfortable, and some were down right weird. Either way, we hope you guys enjoy this chat. We really wanted to get through all the questions but ran out of time. We may just have to bring this back again! Let us know your answers to the last question. Team thong anyone?

This week we chat about our summer favorites. What have you been watching, reading, and applying this summer? The more we talk about our favorites we realize how different and unique each other's tastes and hobbies are... or maybe Crystal's just a bit more different than the rest. Take a listen and share your favorites with us and what you have planned for the summer!Philly Cafe mentioned: Caphe RoastersBooks mentioned: People We Meet on VacationIt Ends With UsVeritySunscreen mentioned:Elta MDSupergoop Unseen SunscreenSupergoop PlayIope SunscreenMake Prem Sunscreen

Have you ever been curious about the martial arts lifestyle or the rewarding work of the non-profit space? Then we have the perfect guest for you... meet Hanford Lin, a jui jitsu-practicing, incredibly humble, super zen dude who helps people in his career. Originally on track to become a teacher, Hanford inadvertently found his purpose landing a job in non-profit. Fast forward about 10 years later and he's still as passionate as ever about using his talents to help people around the world. Join us as we hear about his rewarding work and passion for jui jitsu - sort of gave us the superhero by day and night vibe! Let us know what you think about this episode and as always, don't hesitate to DM us if you want to connect with our guest!

In the US, we've been rocked by yet another mass shooting. We mourn the innocent lives lost by the end of a barrel. Politicians offer thoughts and prayers, with no resolution, and life goes on. With recent shootings in Buffalo, Irvine, Uvalde, and Oklahoma City only days apart from the other, we desperately ask ourselves, when is enough, enough? In today's episode we share our raw and honest reactions to the news, touch on the topic of mental health, and further open the discussion for those to share their perspective on gun ownership and reform. We may not know everything but we believe it's important to have these discussions before coming to any sort of conclusion. Join us as we talk openly about our thoughts on this important topic and we'd love to hear and learn more about this from you! You know how to find us... DM us, leave us a comment and email us! Make sure to listen, subscribe and leave us messages on our instagram @hi_chingoos or at hichingoos@gmail.com. Chingoos Out!
