Under the Steam Podcast — Episode 1: Careers, Motherhood & Life Pivots

Описание: Welcome to the very first episode of Under the Steam Podcast, where honest conversations happen beneath the surface. Hosted by Anita Chan, this podcast brings together inspiring guests to share the real stories behind their careers, personal journeys, and the unexpected pivots that shape who they become.

In this debut episode, Anita sits down with Ashley Du and Beverly Yip for an open and heartfelt conversation about entrepreneurship, motherhood, and redefining success on their own terms.

Together, they explore:
✨ How their careers began — and the pivotal moments that changed their paths
✨ What a real “day in the life” looks like as founders and mothers
✨ The challenges and rewards of building businesses while raising families
✨ Lessons learned from navigating identity, ambition, and personal growth

This episode highlights the experiences of three female entrepreneurs, each coming from different life paths but united by resilience, purpose, and the courage to build something meaningful.
