I’m so excited for you to listen to today’s episode because we have The Cashflow Doctor, Eric Nghiem, in the studio to discuss NFTs, cryptocurrency, and Web 3.0!

I know the opinions about the blockchain are quite divided, but that’s exactly why I’m so glad that Eric stopped by.

In our conversation, he starts to demystify these topics and most of all, provides some optimism to those of you who want to learn more about this space and how it can create personal abundance for historically marginalized groups.

From the latest book I’ve been reading, 101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think, by Brianna Wiest:

“When you choose to value other people’s acceptance over your own, you accept a fate of battling your instincts to assimilate to the needs of other people’s egos. In the meantime, a world and lifetime of listening, leaning, allowing, following, perceiving the feeling and experiencing constantly eludes you. Sadness will not kill you. Depression won’t either. But, fighting it will. Ignoring it will. Trying to escape it, rather than confront it will. Denying it will. Suffocating it will. Allowing it no place to go other than your deep subconscious to embed and control you will.”

And, even more poignantly:

“It will rob you of every bit of life you do have — you either let yourself feel everything or numb yourself into feeling nothing. You cannot select emotions. You’re either in accord with their flow or in resistance to their nature. In the end, the choice is yours.”

I’ve been robbing myself of so much of my life thanks to achievement-oriented thinking that after catching COVID, I had to slow down and revamp the way I showed up, especially when I had to miss so many events during the two weeks of recovery.

In the end, it was good for me… and I hope this podcast episode helps you move away from achievements to simply “being,” too.

Friends, we have a very special guest on the show today: Snigdha Sur, founder of the world-renowned smart journalism platform of the South Asian diaspora, The Juggernaut!

This season, one of my focuses is broadening the types of guests with various cultural backgrounds to talk about identity and voice as multi-faceted folks. In this episode, Snigdha and I talk about Asian history, the importance of BIPOC storytelling, and her inspiring journey that lead her to create this empire she’s built for our community.

Today’s episode explores how a memory of mine was recently triggered, one where I spent a lot of my junior high years living in my parents’ 1980s Toyota Minivan, because they were carting four kids around, trying to save two ailing businesses: my father’s construction company, and the aquarium store they also owned. As they continued to dive deeper into debt, they would drive all over Southern California with us, going from suppliers to Home Depots, until they were too exhausted to drive the 45-min back home to the Westside. 

So, we’d sleep in the van, parked in my father’s construction warehouse. We’d wipe ourselves clean in the early mornings via the deep industrial sink, my mother would drive us to LA and drop us each off at school, and then drive back to Rowland Heights, and home again to feed us, then repeat the whole ordeal again. When I heard Trevor Noah narrate a similar experience at his stepfather’s used car repair warehouse in the book, Born a Crime, I casually mentioned it to my husband at the time. He looked alarmed. I said the same to my current partner who paused, came close to me, and said, “You’ve been through more than most people. You’re a strong woman.”

We’ll talk about resiliency, taking radical responsibility, resources for healing (I’m loving the Brain.fm app!), NFTs & VeeCon, and more.

I hope you loved this insight into my world today!

Today, we have the lovely Vanda Asapahu join us in the studio! Vanda is a second-generation Thai restaurateur and the first female host of Masters of Taste, the biggest food event at the Rose Bowl!

While it’s easy to look on the outside and marvel at this amazing accomplishment, Vanda shares the hurdles she had to overcome on a personal level to show up in the ways she wants and needs to for herself, her family, and her team. We talk a lot about perfectionism, finding a path for ourselves, and shedding our familys’ expectations.

Episode 78: [Mindfulness] Step into your power, even in challenging moments
This is the first mindfulness episode of the season! They’re one of my favorite episodes to create and based on the messages I receive, it seems like it’s yours too. I think it shows that we all need more time to breathe and reflect on how we feel.

The news has been weighing heavily on me lately, and I’ve been experiencing this underlying and ongoing anxiety, sense of dread, and uncertainty — and I know I’m not the only one. So this mindfulness episode is for anyone who feels similarly. Join me as we take the time to pause, reclaim the power we do have, and reconnect with our inner peace.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Despite these three topics being the heart and center of F*ck Saving Face, these are still conversations I’m getting familiar with as an Asian American breaking free from my sheltered past.

This episode is a great example of why I feature guests on my show, so they can teach both you and me about the various perspectives around these important conversations. And that’s exactly what Jaya Mallik is offering today.

What I love about Jaya is that not only has she had extensive personal and professional experiences, such as her pivotal positions as Program Manager and DEI lead at Meta and DEI Program Director at Meta, around these topics, which she can speak so eloquently about, but she is also forthcoming and encourages open conversations about diversity and the real work that still needs to be done in our country.

We are back for season three of F*ck Saving Face! I’ve missed sitting down to a microphone and having meaningful conversations with you. In this episode, we'll talk about what's to come for this season.

It’s going to be a special season for me because it parallels so perfectly with this sort of coming-of-age-moment I've had in my recent life. I've already felt so encouraged while navigating this discomfort of growth, and I know you will too. 

Plus, we talk about my new book that launches today! The Little Book of Tibetan Rites and Rituals: Simple Practices for Rejuvenating the Mind, Body, and Spirit is on Amazon and Target.

We’re closing out Season 2 (and beginning 2022!) with a mindfulness episode dedicated to something I’ve been practicing this year: setting boundaries and putting yourself first to achieve mental peace.

There’s no denying that the process can often result in initial loneliness or resistance — or both. I’ve experienced it first-hand. So, today’s meditation will take you through the challenges you may face along your journey, help you pause, and encourage you to show up in the ways you want to in the world.

I hope that after you listen to this episode, you’ll take a step into this new year with confidence and conviction to make your story beautiful.

Today, I have some very special guests on the show — my team!

For those who aren’t familiar, I also run a branding and content marketing agency called Wild Hearted Words in addition to this podcast. Together, we use our gifts to help businesses expand their community, grow their platforms, engage their audiences, and get their unique purpose out there in the world.

More than that, we are all champions of mental and emotional health, so we’re able to take our passion in that area and combine it with our own talents to truly leave a positive mark on the world.

I wanted to bring their stories to you, so you could hear first-hand from individuals like you and me, who are living their days growing their dreams with their families and the people they love. They’re also continually figuring it out, refining their path, and ebb and shift as they go along in their journey.

Ultimately, when you listen to this episode, I hope you feel encouraged to step into your power and that each of their stories reveals to you that there are so many possible paths to get to where you want to go if you give yourself the space and grace to explore and take risks.
