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!

I've missed writing — I've been published multiple times online and recently, after giving a talk about podcasting, the host shared, "Y'know, I was reading this article in Longreads the other day and it was so beautifully written. Then, I looked at the author's byline and it was YOU!" Listen to how I'm planning to launch a paid newsletter description (and if you want to sign up, you can email me at hello@fcksavingface.com), why I've avoided the word "coach" yet have since learned that representation matters, and more stories of serendipity and synchronicity.

I also talk about: 

• James Van Praagh
• Network chiropractor work
• NASA's Webb telescope
• Todd Brison & Tim Denning's Substack course
• My Instagram: @wildheartedwords & @fcksavingface

I’m thrilled and honored to introduce you all to Sashee Chandran, the founder and CEO of Tea Drops! 

In this episode, we focus on something we love talking about on the show: how Sashee took inspiration from her Chinese Sri-Lanka upbringing and innovated something that she can share with the modern world.

Other topics we explore are roles in relationships, how to balance entrepreneurship and relationships, the importance of connection, “boss babe” culture, and core values.

Recently, I've been listening to the Rich Roll podcast and am fascinated by the wisdom from his guests, especially two that talk about Modern Elders and what makes us truly happy as we embark on the next phases of our lives: Arthur Brooks and Chip Conley. Given my recent trip to Hawaii, I discovered more insights into myself, what's important, what to let go of, and how to let love in. Listen today and take a few moments to arrive where you are now.

Veronica Yanhs, our guest and founder of Business Laid Bare, unknowingly became interested in kink culture at 4 years old after seeing Red Jasmine for the first time in the Disney movie, Aladdin. Fast forward to today and Veronica is living out her most authentic life, blending business with her passion for kink and BDSM culture. But her story goes beyond sex (even though she’s on a mission to “un-taboo” the topic).

Her journey has shown her that her calling is to empower other folks to unapologetically live out the life they’ve always envisioned for themselves — not what society or our families have prescribed to us.

I loved talking to Veronica about this topic and it’s a must-listen for anyone out there who feels the tug to do the same but feels blocked by trauma, expectations, self-consciousness, or other forces.

We also talk about consent, what BDSM and kink culture is, and the history of how Asian women are portrayed in the media.

*Warning: potentially triggering topics about relationships and sex are mentioned in this episode.
