About this listen

Work Hard, Cry Never is where two first-gen Asian American moms, Jasmin & Kim, spill the unfiltered truth about retail life, motherhood, identity, and healing from generational trauma. From crying in stockrooms to breaking cycles out loud, nothing is off-limits.

We get real about surviving capitalism, growing up Asian, and finding humor in the chaos — one raw, messy, and laugh-filled conversation at a time. Whether you’ve worked retail, juggled motherhood, or are just trying to figure it all out, you’ll feel seen here.

  • Crying in the Stockroom: How Retail Broke Us (and Built Us)

    Crying in the Stockroom: How Retail Broke Us (and Built Us)
    Aug 12 2025

    In our very first episode of Work Hard, Cry Never, we’re rewinding to the beginning — how two ambitious women juggling full-time jobs and real-life pressure ended up working the sales floor at the department store that rhymes with Lordstrom.

    We’re talking first-day chaos, commission checks that gave us whiplash, missed lunch breaks, and those stockroom breakdowns that hit way too hard. Retail was never supposed to be the plan… but somehow, it became the blueprint.

    From customers returning worn clothes to coworkers playing dirty over sales, we unpack how retail challenged us, changed us, and gave us a hustle we never saw coming. This is our origin story — no sugarcoating, no corporate filter, just real talk from two women who lived it.
