Are you an expert overthinker? Join the club 💁🏻‍♀️ 

Coming to terms with being a chronic overthinker isn't easy, and attempting to completely get rid of this tendency often backfires - it simply leads to even more overthinking! That's why, instead of striving to fight it, I've chosen to understand it and adapt my coping mechanism around it. 

If you can relate to this constant cycle of overthought, don't overlook this vlog. Be sure to watch or listen till the end as it might help ;)

Bloom in Crisis is the embodiment of hope, born from the belief that moments of uncertainty and hardship can become clarity, compassion, and intentional growth 🌱

Having experienced firsthand the challenges of navigating difficult times alone, Zip Nguyen began blogging when the pandemic struck in 2020, later expanding her reflections through a podcast and YouTube channel. Her unique style weaves spirituality, practicality, and beauty into a compelling tapestry.

Driven by a profound desire to ensure no one has to navigate growth alone, Bloom in Crisis brings forward refreshing perspectives, thoughtful frameworks, and authentic storytelling that spark deep reflection, awaken intuition, encourage healing, expand awareness, and inspire harmonious alignment between life decisions and the soul.

Building solid friendships is one of the key solutions to overcoming loneliness, but is it possible in the modern world? Can we still build deep connections with other people or just go along with superficial and shallow connections?

In this week's episode, I'm joined by Thao Le, a very good friend of mine from high school. Together, we'll share our personal reflections on what it takes to create and maintain strong, lasting friendships.

Why might we feel even lonelier than ever before in the modern world despite the convenience of social media, and is there a way out? Here's what I've been practicing to help me overcome loneliness.

In this episode, I want to share with you guys the life-changing lessons that I'm lucky enough to learn directly from my dad. 

Growing up, I've always known a man who's so determined and kind. I'm grateful to have been able to observe his lifestyle and work ethic from a young age, both of which have profoundly transformed me and shaped who I am today. Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful dads out there! 

Here are the lyrics to my original song, 'Tâm Sự Của Con' (My Confession)

[Vietnamese lyrics]

Ngày ấy khi còn bé thơ trong lòng

Bố thương mẹ chiều chẳng lo âu nghĩ suy

Ngày ấy đi học bố đưa mẹ đèo

Thấy con thân gầy mẹ chỉ lo con ốm thôi

Rồi lúc con biết đọc, biết thêm đánh đàn

Bố khoe con với mọi người vui lắm

Dù những thứ con làm có khôn có dại

Trước sau bố mẹ vẫn tin chờ

Rồi đến một ngày con lớn khôn đi làm

Thấy con bận rộn mẹ lại lo con ốm thôi

Rồi con cứ lớn dần, tóc bố thêm bạc màu

Thêm nếp nhăn cho mẹ vậy mà con xa quá đi

Càng thấy thương bố mẹ nuôi nấng con nên người

Xong lúc con nên rồi lại chẳng thấy

Chỉ mong sao bố mẹ sống vui khoẻ mạnh

Nhớ con bố mẹ vẫn an lòng 

[English translation]

Back when I was a little kid,

Dad loved, Mom cared, no worry I hid.

Back then, Dad walked me to school and Mom came along,

Seeing me so skinny, Mom just worried I'd be weak, not strong.

When I learned to read, and also play the piano,

Dad showed me off to everyone, so proud, full of gusto.

No matter if what I did was wise or silly,

In the end, my parents always trusted me, really.

Then came a day when I grew up, started to work,

Seeing me so busy, Mom worried again I’d get sick due to overwork.

As I kept growing, Dad's hair started turning gray,

More wrinkles marked Mom's face, as I moved further away.

The more I saw, the more I loved my parents who made me strong,

I don’t want to think about that some day, when I’m grown up but could no longer take them along.

I just wish my parents live life, happy and healthy,

Missing me, they still find peace, and are never weary.

In this episode, I want to share with you my own secrets to happiness. The key to unlocking happiness is hiding in plain sight—the very reasons we feel unhappy. Two of these reasons come from age-old wisdom taught by the Buddha, while the third is my personal addition to the mix. I hope you find this helpful!

[Góc Tâm Sự] Có nên tiếp tục sống không?

Chào mừng các bạn quay trở lại với Góc Tâm Sự của Bloom In Crisis! Tuy đã lâu từ khi chúng mình chia sẻ tập Góc Tâm Sự cuối, chúng mình rất trân trọng sự đón nhận và ủng hộ của cộng đồng người Việt.

Trong tập podcast lần này, chúng mình muốn tâm sự về sức khoẻ tâm lý - một chủ đề khá sâu lắng và ít được nói tới trong cộng đồng Việt Nam, nhưng chúng mình biết sẽ liên hệ được với nhiều bạn nghe. Có bao giờ bạn cảm thấy bế tắc, không tìm được lối thoát trên chặng đường đi của mình? Sẽ rất dễ để nghĩ rằng mình muốn bỏ đi tất cả, nhưng tìm được nội lực để vượt qua khó khăn sẽ giúp bạn vạch được lối thoát cho riêng mình. Với tình trạng tự tử đang đi lên ở Việt Nam, việc chăm sóc sức khoẻ tâm lý càng trở thành một vấn đề tối quan trọng. Hãy cùng lắng nghe chia sẻ và suy ngẫm của CQO Zip Nguyen về trải nghiệm của chính chị trong tập podcast này nhé!

🎧 Cùng đón nghe Bloom In Crisis trên Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, hoặc trực tiếp trên Simplecast.

[Heart-to-Heart] Is life still worth living?

It’s been a while since we last shared a Heart-to-Heart, the support we’ve received from our Vietnamese community has been astounding!

In this Heart-to-Heart episode, we want to continue our conversation about the importance of mental health, a topic often stigmatized in Vietnamese society. If you ever feel stuck in a situation and cannot find a solution, it’s important to keep your head strong to see the way out. With increasing suicide rates in Vietnam, it becomes more and more important to put a spotlight on mental health care. Our CQO Zip Nguyen will share her own thoughts and reflections of her own experience in this episode, so tune in!

About Bloom in Crisis: Globally connected, locally relevant, personally touched – Bloom in Crisis is an inclusive place to learn, share, and grow. It is where vulnerability is normalized, underrepresented voices are amplified, diversity is celebrated, honest advice and genuine support are given.

Together, we inspire each other to #bloomincrisis.
