But Where Are You Really From?: An Asian-American Struggle

156. The Path Towards Inner Peace


Listen Later

How do you go about seeking inner peace for yourself?


We've spent many past episodes diving into mental health and self-growth. But as we strive to improve ourselves, how can we also embrace all that we currently are - the good and the bad?


We individually found frameworks that helped us cope with the stresses of everyday life. Jesse found his calming mantra through a session on Calm, while Angela discovered "The Work" by Byron Katie*. Both frameworks help to process turbulent thoughts, by slowing down our thought processes to be both kinder and more objective.


As with many other growth related topics, seeking inner peace is work done over a lifetime. Although we are far from perfect at practicing this calmness, we work towards it every day.


Listeners, how do you work towards emotional balance? Let us know in the Spotify Q&A section or in the comments on our social media!

*Podcasters' Note: in the episode we mistakenly refer to the author as Katie Byron. "The Work" is by Byron Katie.
