  • Feeling unconfident about your academic achievement? - In conversation with Zip Nguyen and Huong Nguyen

    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.

  • Are there ten steps to self-love? - In conversation with Zip Nguyen and Huong Nguyen

    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!

    Co-hosts: Huong Nguyen & Zip Nguyen

    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.
