If you’re an Asian-American who grew up learning that you had to “save face” and be a “good girl,” let’s remove all the guilt, shame, and taboos to talk about the things we weren’t given permission to explore. Rather than upholding the “model minority” standard, let’s redefine what it means to be strong, courageous, and bold in a brave new world. Let’s finally have a voice after being the silent generation for too long. Join me, your host, Judy Tsuei, every week as I explore mental, emotional and physical health like never before, telling it like it is. We might shock the generation before us, but hopefully, you and I will create a more conscious way of being for the generation after us. Wherever you are in celebrating your Asian-ness, I got you. Let’s roar together. More at www.wildheartedwords.com/podcast.

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.

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.

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.
