[Góc Tâm Sự: Cá lớn, cá nhỏ] 

Chào mừng các bạn quay trở lại với Góc Tâm Sự của Bloom In Crisis! 

Trong episode lần này, chúng mình muốn tâm sự về một vấn đề mà lứa tuổi bọn mình gặp phải, đặc biệt trong thời kì dịch bệnh Covid, đó là cảm giác bồn chồn, lo âu khi đang đi chậm so với tiện độ bản thân mong muốn. Làm thế nào để chúng mình có thể nhìn nhận mọi việc như một bức tranh toàn diện? Làm thế nào để quyết định sự ưu tiên cho mỗi vấn đề, sự việc xảy ra xung quanh ta? Hãy cùng lắng nghe tâm sự từ CQO Zip nhé! 

This episode talks about the common issue that many people in our generation are dealing with, especially in the time of the pandemic: the anxiety of feeling like we're falling behind on our progress in life. How can we calm our minds and know what to focus on? Join us to listen to practical tips and advice from our CQO Zip!

Bloom in Crisis is the embodiment of hope—it is a belief, a practice, a way of life that empowers you to skillfully regulate emotions, build spiritual resilience, enhance self-awareness, unleash the potential of your mind, foster a grateful heart, cultivate joy, nurture positive energy, promote inner peace, grow self-compassion and compassion for others, embrace the present moment, derive wisdom from introspection, transform pain into grace, recognize positive possibilities even in adversity, and actively shape your narrative, ultimately leading to a happy and fulfilled life (with a touch of style).

​​Having experienced firsthand the challenges of navigating difficult times alone, Zip Nguyen began blogging when the pandemic struck in 2020, later expanding her efforts by launching a podcast and YouTube channel. Her unique style weaves spirituality, practicality, and beauty into a compelling tapestry. Driven by a profound desire to help others also bloom in crisis, Zip’s refreshing perspective, inventive techniques, and authentic storytelling spark deep reflection, cultivate heightened intuition, foster healing, expand consciousness, and nurture harmonious alignment between life decisions and the soul.

Welcome to episode 2 of "Bloom In Crisis"!

In this episode, we want to address a question from one of our listeners who prefers to stay anonymous, which is also a topic that has been brought up to us a few times through our daily Q&As on Instagram stories and our offline conversations with many of you: academic achievements impacting confidence. In many Asian cultures including Vietnam where both Huong and I are originally from, it is often considered a key indicator of success, so peer pressure, family pressure, and social pressure, particularly in relation to academic performance, are almost unavoidable. So, is there any silver lining at all in not being among the top students in the class? And how can we still feel confident if our grades are not something to be proud of? Continue listening if you’d like to find out.

Welcome to the very first episode of "Bloom In Crisis". 

In this episode, Zip and I have a conversation about a topic that interests many people of our age: self-love. We discuss our own definition of self-love,  the main factors that contribute to self-love, as well as the relationship of self-love with self-hatred or self-indulgence. Through the sharing of our unique journeys to arrive at self-love, we want to use our experience to help you embrace your own journey of finding, understanding, and loving yourself.

We hope that you enjoy Episode 1: Self-Love and thank you for your support!
