F*ck Saving Face

You're a badass. But, it's easy to forget. Especially if you're used to people-pleasing or adjusting your sails to fit someone else's navigation. Today's mindfulness practice offers you an opportunity to find that inner strength, so that you live authentically in all facets of your life.

Be bold. Be courageous. Be wildly you.

Vietnamese American triathlete and Google team member, Chi Pham, is vegan. But, how did her parents approach both her love of sports and her desire to be plant-based?

Listen to her story in today's episode, including how she became more compassionate towards her parents when she realized their backstory and where they were coming from.

You'll also hear Chi share about her work creating health equity initiatives with Google, as well as how she's bringing light to increasing diversity in sports, from socioeconomic levels to people of different backgrounds.

When you grow up with Chinese immigrant parents who were extremely poor, eating meat is seen as a luxury. I still distinctly remember the moment when I went to a Chinese restaurant with my parents, bit into what I thought was red tofu, only to ask my mother who then said, "That's pig's blood." I could not have spit it out of my mouth faster — and I'd been eating it for years. Or, how my cousin used to get praised for eating every piece of the watermelon until he was biting into the white of the rind?

What happens when you grow up and see that the bone marrow you used to eat out of necessity to get the most out of every piece of bone becomes a delicacy on American menus? Or, how you were teased for eating seaweed, only to have your white friends now feed it to their children as regular snacks?

Listen to today's story about growing up and wanting to express yourself, only to have your parents (and others) not fully understand.

Worrying about the planet is stressful. It can actually cause deep anxiety and grief, especially when you're wondering how much of an impact you can actually have when the world is so big and the devastation we're potentially causing as a human species with climate change and more is so rampant.

Today's mindfulness practice helps you manage your feelings, so that rather than falling into despair, you can actually find a way to sort through what you're going through and keep on doing what you can with what you know.

Listen in today.

I love clothes — Daisy Chen Hutton loves fashion too, especially after working at global brands, like Guess. But then she discovered the reality behind the fashion she loved, and how absolutely wasteful the industry is, namely when it comes to "cute, fast fashion."

How do you pursue what you love while also saving the planet? You can start your own sustainable clothing brand like she did.

In this interview, we talk about the immigrant mentality, and how it creates a sense of sustainability out of necessity, because you're going to use every single resource you have to the nth degree. Then, we talk about how socioeconomic class, especially when you start with nothing and start to have some things, become a potential source of waste to show how far you've come and to save face.

What do you do for yourself, your children, and the planet? Join our conversation today and find out!

We have another exciting topic in this week’s episodes: Sustainability.

Do we have to have big names or own big companies to do our share of saving the planet? And, if you're growing up in scarcity with immigrant parents, how can you even have the luxury of thinking about the greater good of the planet when you're just trying to help your immediate family survive?

In this episode of the F*ck Saving Face Podcast, we explore how every person can start to make a huge impact for the world we live in, even in little ways — the same world where our children and our children’s children will be living in if we can help preserve it. (Psst... if you're feeling stressed about climate change, Friday's episode 54 features an eco-grief meditation to help). 

We also explore how to shift your mindset, especially because immigrant families can instill an idea of sustainability to use every resource you have – I still reuse Ziplock bags as many times as I can, and love a good glass jar that I can repurpose! – yet, as we rise in socioeconomic class, do we consume more to make up for how little we used to have and to demonstrate how far we've come?

Listen in and start to make a difference.

This week's episodes have been dedicated towards medical practices. We talked about traditional Chinese medicine, covering topics like herbalism, acupuncture and energy healing — if you haven't heard the previous episode, I highly recommend you do so!

In this episode of mindful practice, we take a step forward towards healing, both mentally and emotionally. Join me as I share powerful stories that help guide you away from feeling the burden of external pressures put on you by other people and to remind you of your uniqueness and your individuality.

Listen in to this episode as Erin Wilkins of Herb Folk medicine talks to us about her acupuncture and herbalism practice in Petaluma, California. You'll discover how she learned to re-embrace her identity to show up in her work more authentically, what it's like to be raised biracial, how to honor the land around her, and ways in which we can all thrive in our mental, emotional, and physical health. This interview is truly a great resource when it comes to bridging eastern and western medicine.

We also had a wonderful discussion about code switching and how to manage other people's perceptions of us, as we learn how to belong to community.

When I grew up, my aunt – Da Gu Gu - decided to become an acupuncturist, and I have memories of her and her three children (my older cousins) coming after me and my younger siblings with thin needles in her hand until *ding* she would put one into the crown of our head and we would sit on the plastic covered peach couch of her living room, staring out and waiting for the timer to go off.

In this episode, I talk about my experience with Traditional Chinese Medicine, which included both acupuncture and herbalism, growing up — and what I didn't know about the spirituality and energy behind this beautiful practice. 

Now, as an adult, I've absolutely gone back to this modality of healing to great benefit, and have even taken my daughter for acupressure appointments, though I am sure to let her know that she has free will and ownership of her body.

After a week of diving into Waldorf education, racial equity in the college admissions process, and why there's so much more to learning than getting straight-A's, today's mindfulness practice explores the idea of play as adults — and how essential it truly is.
