The pressure is real when it comes to having kids. Georgie Ma from Chinese Chippy Girl Podcast talks about growing up as the only Chinese person in school and how it has shaped her to be the mother she is. We discuss the struggles of conceiving a baby, being jealous when friends get pregnant, breastfeeding norms in society, growing up as Chinese immigrant daughters, and the preference for boys over girls in the common Asian household. Regardless if you want kids or not, this episode explores the joys and challenges of motherhood for Asian millennial women. And we talk about sex.
Highlights:

  • Georgie is ovulating! What happens next?!
  • What it’s really like behind closed doors when trying to make a baby
  • Feeling jealous when everyone else was getting pregnant
  • Georgie’s mom didn’t want her as a baby
  • Mom’s devotion to Guan Yin and Chinese herbal pills
  • What would you do if you witnessed racism in a supermarket?
  • Microaggression and subtle racism in school
  • How much we love Gen Zs

Takeaway:

  • Turning 30 means you are reborn again. You start from zero.
  • Be considerate when we asking others if they want to have kids
  • Society is telling you your eggs are expiring, but what matters is what you tell yourself
  • If you see something is wrong, speak up - even if you might be wrong
