What happens when you stop bracing at your own reflection—and start seeing yourself clearly for the first time?

In this solo, deeply personal follow-up to Episode 316, I share what actually happened when I joined The Self-Portrait Challenge with visibility mentor Lisa Haukom — and what it cracked open for me.

What began as an experiment in iPhone photography quickly became a process of unpacking why I’ve spent most of my life flinching at photos of myself to softening old stories, letting go of performance, and reclaiming how I see myself now.

You’ll hear me share:

• The quiet grief of no longer recognizing your body
• The power of documenting (not performing)
• How representation—especially as an Asian women—isn’t just about visibility, but self-trust
• Why learning to love photos of yourself isn’t about vanity—it’s about recognition

Whether you're in your thirties, forties, fifties or beyond, if you’ve ever felt invisible in your own life or body, this one’s for you.
