Brown and Happy

Taking responsibility of your life is the most powerful step you can implement today. No matter what you're struggling with, there is something that you do have control of and that's where you focus your energy. 

Feeling stuck, defeated and like a victim in your career, marriage, body and relationships is common but believing that there's nothing you can do is what feels powerless. 

In this episode we talk about taking the first step, even though it doesn't feel like a big accomplishment in the moment. It's the little things that will help you gain power and take control.

The fear of the unknown leads us to feel paralyzed to make any new changes in both our personal and professional life.

Better the devil you know than the devil you don't....

The known poison is easier than the unknown....

However you want to say it, the fear exists.

In today's episode we discuss how this way of thinking especially affects the AAPI community.

Worker Bee Mentality is a very common theme in the Asian American Pacific Islander Community. In honor of AAPI heritage month, we dive deeper into the immigrant journey. The scarcity promoted the worker bee mindset but this is exactly what keeps you from getting the promotion, equal pay or have a healthy nurturing relationship.

In Honor of Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we will dive deeper into the significance of who and what we are truly celebrating.

In this episode we talk about what makes the AAPI community unique collectively and individually. A common thread of immigration and preservation of our culture and traditions in a new land binds us together.

For many decades and even centuries we have slowly grown to reject our own culture. However, I found that now we can reassess our reasons and re-evaluate our intentions. In todays' episode we discuss the difference between the family heirlooms we want to keep and pass down to the next generation and the clutter we no longer wish to keep.

How do you respond when your child does ok but you know they have so much more potential? What does the little voice in your head say? Whose voice is it?

Mostly likely it's your parent. As an immigrant you were conditioned to always do your best and that hard work always pays off. What if that was what kept you not enjoying your accomplishments? How can we stop continuing the vicious cycle?

Let me tell you...

Time is running out...

Time will pass you by before you know and it and they will be all grown up...

I don't have enough time...

Do these sound familiar??

Time is the only constant and you have zero control over it but somehow you try to control it.

In this episode we discuss the various spectrum of parenting and it's relationship to time- either it's moving too fast or slow.

I share how to stop parenting from scarcity, anxiety and worry.

I'd love to hear your feedback. What resonated? What didn't?

Parenting is tough, even when everything is going ok.

Knowing that there's things that you can and cannot control is the secret. 

The reason most of us struggle is that we set ourself up to fail by expecting change from our children. Yes, we do have a responsibility to parent but it's ok to not be surprised when people show you who they are.

In today's episode I share about my son's struggle in his school and how I had to step up and advocate for him. All of us had lots of anxiety in the process but it's ok to change your external circumstances to help you and your child. 

I have been a practicing Pediatrician since 2009 and then added my integrative medicine and coaching to the mix.

Over the next few episodes we will cover various common parenting struggles.

How did you meet your partner?

Love Marriage, Arranged Marriage or Something Else.

Many of us have a subconscious checklist that we have created from our parents, culture and society which we use to meet the right guy. So yes, you chose your partner but was it really left to chance??

If you're struggling in your marriage, divorced, or thinking of separating.... listen to this week's episode.

Are you having FUN? Why or why not?

Take a minute to reminder the last time you laughed freely.

Telling yourself that you don't have time or energy is common. We all tell ourselves these stories to keep ourselves on the checklist.

It's a vicious cycle that is never ending.

In this episode we will talk about practical ways to incorporate fun again without guilt. If you want to feel free and laugh again unapologetically, book a consult for my private coaching program.

Don't wait any longer, let help you.

I got you!

Do you find yourself jumping from one relationship to another?

Are you constantly looking for the next best thing at work?

Do you tend to shop around a lot for a coach or therapist?

It's not a problem to know your options but are you getting the results that you wan tin your life, probably not.

In this episode we talk about struggling with committing when you start feeling scared, anxious, or uncomfortable. The grass is not greener somewhere else, it's green where you water. But why are you keeping yourself from watering or if you start, why do you quit?

Stop sabotaging yourself and then blame everyone else, including you instead actually dealing with the source of the problem..... telling yourself there's something better out there in the universe and you just haven't found it yet.
