About this listen

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.fcksavingface.com.

    May 8 2023

    In this podcast episode, Judy Tsuei, founder of Wild Hearted Words, talks about empowering mental and emotional health for Asian Americans and voices of color by breaking through taboo topics. She shares updates on her personal and professional life, including moving to a new house, working with a therapist, and gaining clarity in her business. 

    Judy also talks about the importance of community, financial independence, and doing grief work to process past pain and trauma. She shares her experience of growing up in a family where she felt different and struggled with emotional abuse. Judy encourages listeners to prioritize their own mental and emotional well-being and take bold and courageous steps towards self-acceptance and self-love.


    Are you feeling stuck in your personal or professional life? Have you been struggling to break through limiting beliefs and social expectations? In this podcast episode, Judy Tsuei shares her personal journey of overcoming emotional abuse, shedding familial expectations, and finding her own path towards success and fulfillment. Here are five mindset shifts inspired by Judy's story that can help you move forward with intention and mindfulness:


    1. Embrace Your True Self: Don't let social or family  expectations hold you back from being your authentic self. Accepting and embracing your true self is the first step towards creating a life of purpose and meaning.
    2. Prioritize Mental and Emotional Well-being: Seek support from professionals and communities to prioritize your mental and emotional health. Doing the grief work and processing past pain and trauma can lead to remarkable results in life.
    3. Take Aligned Actions: Manifesting and taking aligned actions can help you achieve your goals and dreams. The power of the universe is behind you, and luck favors the prepared.
    4. Let Go of How Things Have to Be: Give yourself permission to have a fun life and make a lot of money doing what you love. Let go of social expectations and create your own path towards success and fulfillment.
    5. Stay True to Yourself: Don't sacrifice your own needs and desires for the sake of fitting in with family expectations. Stay true to yourself and prioritize your own mental and emotional well-being.


    By adopting these mindset shifts, you can create a more empowered and fulfilling life. Remember, it's never too late to start living the life you truly deserve. So, what are you waiting for? Start making those mindset shifts today!
