In this episode, I interview Anna Hsu, a self-worth coach, about the journey to self-love and compassion. Growing up in traditional Asian households, we often face immense pressure to conform to strict standards of success, academic achievement, and filial piety! This pressure can lead to feelings of inadequacy, self-doubt, and a constant need to prove one's worthiness. Moreover, navigating between two cultures—balancing traditional Asian values with Western ideals—can create internal conflicts and identity struggles, making it challenging to develop a strong sense of self-love and acceptance. Anna shares her personal story of growing up in a traditional Asian household and feeling the pressure to constantly prove her worth. She also discusses the importance of understanding and having compassion for our parents' journeys and the impact they have on our own self-worth. Best of all, Anna provides tools and practices for embarking on the path to self-love and emphasizes the power of celebrating ourselves and others.She's even gifting my listeners a complimentary Gifted Clarity & Breakthrough Session!

Ever grappled with the feeling of being stuck between your achievements and the nagging doubt of unworthiness? A shift in perspective can change everything. I learned this through my father's journey from a traumatic accident in Taiwan to the life-altering move to the U.S. for his children's future. This story of sacrifice and love is just one of the many untold narratives from our parents' generation.We often seek control when faced with the inevitable unknown. My latest podcast episode touches on my preoccupation with death and how that shaped my life's outlook. Join me as I share the insights gathered from living in the delicate balance of what we can and cannot control. In my latest episode, I dive deep into this very space with 3 sample chapters from my upcoming book: The 'Space In Between' shows how we navigate our self-worth amidst success and uncertaintyAt 78, my father's attire remains unchanged: a cap, button-down shirt, and jeans. This image of simplicity belies his relentless work ethic, a theme I explore in a chapter called "Dad." His dedication to work, a silent expression of love, shapes my understanding of commitment. Trauma often hides in plain sight. The chapter, "Fa Zhan," which means punishment in Mandarin, reveals the chilling reality of emotional and physical abuse I experienced. This chapter isn't just my story — it's a voice for many who have endured similar trials. Tune in today to this podcast episode about Battling Demons.Get a free 7-Day Rewrite Your Reality course to get the exact mindset shifts to create a life you love in under 10 minutes a day — delivered directly to your inbox.

Her story is a beacon of hope for anyone feeling misunderstood.🏠 Building a Collective: We discuss the birth of the Yellow Chair Collective, a mental health sanctuary that champions culturally competent therapy for the Asian American community.

In the latest episode, I open the pages of my life to you, sharing the raw and real experiences that have shaped me. I read a chapter of my upcoming memoir tentatively titled, "It Began in the Darkness" when I was left in an incubator by my parents because I was born a month premature.Here's a sampling: "Born one month early, trained to live without touch, in the incubator starting at 6:15 a.m. on July 16 on Sunset Boulevard. I'm much older than my siblings, so I remember when they were born. I remember their grey eyes and how my grandmother, my mother, said they could not yet see clearly. They only knew shapes. Smell, touch. I watched as my youngest brother's eyes became solid, began to see the environment he was born into. The screaming so loudly that it was as though we all went deaf. The tyrannical nature of my father beating into us when his rage went beyond what his yelling could accomplish. The hysterical nature of my mother when she went into her bipolar fits and spurts of completely unsanctioned and unacceptable behavior, to demanding that we love her, that we pay her respect, that we don't talk back. But what was there really to say anyway? My youngest brother's eyes speak more than his words will ever reveal. In the old house on Toland Way, in the ghetto of Eagle Rock, before it became hipster, I remember the way the sun would shine through the sliding glass door that separated the room where my sister and I slept on our bunk bed from the same room where my mother and father shared their bed."Heart-to-heart interactions can be transformative. The past doesn't determine the future. Because I also reveal the first time my Chinese father said, "I love you" to me in college after my boyfriend's father unexpectedly dies of a heart attack, and it turns out to be a wake-up call in so many ways.I'd be honored if you like this episode, if you would share, rate, and review this podcast so more people can feel less alone in the world.Get a free 7-Day Rewrite Your Reality course to get the exact mindset shifts to create a life you love in under 10 minutes a day — delivered directly to your inbox.

This week, I have the pleasure of hosting Ái  Wang, a Vietnamese-born, Texas-bred filmmaker, and co-founder of TÁPI Story, a production company that tells human-centered stories told from a systemic perspective with compassion, empathy, and dignity.Ái's journey is a fascinating one, filled with cultural exploration, self-discovery, and a passion for storytelling. Born in Vietnam, she emigrated to Texas at the age of five and grew up bicultural. Her early experiences in Vietnam working in a children's shelter shaped her life and work philosophies.Despite starting her career in education and youth development, Ái found her true calling in filmmaking in her early 30s. She shares her journey as a creative, from signing up for a media and storytelling course in Phnom Penh to co-founding TÁPI Story.Here are some key takeaways from our conversation:Embrace the Unknown: Ái emphasizes the importance of stepping outside of your comfort zone and experiencing different cultures and perspectives.The Power of Storytelling: Ái believes in the transformative power of storytelling through various mediums, from films to YouTube, in expanding our understanding of the world.Unmasking Ourselves: We delve into the concept of masking, especially among women, and the importance of being true to ourselves.I hope Ái's story inspires you as much as it inspired me.

Excavating through old writings, I discovered a piece titled "Reiki and the Reappearance of My Grandmother," a vivid recounting of the end of a relationship, my struggle with an eating disorder, and my decision to prioritize my well-being. There's a narrative power in our personal histories, the lessons we've learned, and the paths we've walked. Grandmothers have a special place in our hearts. Mine had a profound impact on my life. As our roles reversed in her later years, I cherished our walks and the wisdom she imparted. After her passing, I discovered an old video that confirmed her love for me, a moment of comfort amidst overwhelming emotions. In an emotionally charged session with a medium, I connected with my deceased grandmother. The experience filled me with a mix of longing and reassurance. To this day, I hold on to her words — she is always with me. The spiritual encounter has become an integral part of my memoir.Today's episode features memoir excerpts about my grandmother, food, and love. Despite the joy of Saturday morning pancakes at McDonald's with my dad to the simplicity of our home-cooked meals, my relationship with food became more complicated, shaped by cultural and personal factors. Looking back, I see the evolution of my understanding and relationship with food.Tune in today for imperfect excerpts of my book that people have been saying they simply want more, and more, and more of!Get a free 7-Day Rewrite Your Reality course to get the exact mindset shifts to create a life you love in under 10 minutes a day — delivered directly to your inbox.

If you're constantly comparing yourself to others when it comes to money, let's explore the detrimental effects of this mindset and discover how to align our core values with our earning and spending habits. Here's what we cover:The Money Mindset Journey: Mary Li and Judy Tsuei both grew up in immigrant families where money was scarce, leading to a fear and scarcity mindset around finances. We discuss how this fear and guilt still affect us as adults, even when we have enough to meet our basic needs.Awareness is Key: Mary emphasizes the need to observe our thoughts and beliefs about money without judgment. She suggests keeping a daily journal to track these thoughts and examine the underlying beliefs that drive our behaviors.Aligning Values with Actions: We agree that rewriting our money stories and aligning our actions with our core values can lead to a healthier and more fulfilling relationship with money.Gratitude and Honesty: We encourage listeners to appreciate the things they may be taking for granted and to be honest with ourselves about the way we make and spend money in accordance with our core values.Financial Empowerment for Women: We highlight the need for women to take ownership of their finances and break the taboo around money. Mary reveals that many successful women rely on their husbands to manage their money, which she attributes to societal conditioning and a lack of confidence in managing finances.Teaching Children about Money: It's vital to teach children about money and financial responsibility. Mary shared how she uses a finance box with her daughter to teach her about different financial choices and their consequences.Marriage and Money: We discuss how money differences can be a major cause of divorce and the importance of understanding one's own money values and beliefs before entering into a committed relationship.Self-worth and Self-reflection: Mary emphasizes that our relationship with ourselves is the foundation for all other relationships, including our relationship with money.Listen today and if you'd like to write a new chapter of your life, join the free 7-day challenge: www.wildheartedwords.com/rewrite.Get a free 7-Day Rewrite Your Reality course to get the exact mindset shifts to create a life you love in under 10 minutes a day — delivered directly to your inbox.

As an Asian American, Judy Tsuei has often grappled with the concept of self-promotion. Cultural expectations, coupled with the generational trauma that has impacted many Asian cultures, can make it difficult for individuals to shine and be noticed. Traditional publishing houses often emphasize the need for authors to have a platform already or to do the work themselves to get noticed.In today's podcast episode, Judy interviews Stephanie Moon, who has an extensive background in publishing as a Marketing Strategist for publishers and authors. She has worked with various publishing houses big and small, including Chronicle Books, Grant HarperCollins. Stephanie loves working with authors and helping them find their voice and promote themselves authentically. She believes that in a saturated market, the only way to stand out is by being yourself and telling your unique stories.Stephanie also emphasizes the importance of authors being able to promote their books, as it significantly contributes to their success. However, throughout her career, she has noticed that Asian authors — especially women — tend to feel shy about self-promotion. This is unfortunate because writing a book is a years-long process that requires dedication and hard work. Stephanie addresses imposter syndrome and more in order for you to become the published author you've dreamed of!From Judy herself:I want to thank all of you for your support and encourage you to leave a review on iTunes.
