Perfectly Imperfect with Christine and Regina

Welcome to our new podcast series Sister Advice! In an effort to better connect with you guys, we wanted to have more conversations with you. Once a month we will be collecting questions on our Instagram (@perfectly.imperfect.podcast) for the specific theme that month and answer YOUR questions!

This month, in honor of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month and Mental Health Awareness Month, we answered your questions around the theme of "identity." So much of who we are is through our heritage and traditions but we all know that it can have drastic affects on our mental health. How do we both embrace our heritage while trying to create our own identity? Should we try to just blend into the crowd? Listen in!

As we kickstart this month of APAHM + mental health awareness, we wanted to continue to openly share our experiences with mental health. This week, @xoxochristinechen updates us on her progress with depression and gives us insight on how to really be there for the people you love who are struggling with depression and other mental health conditions.

Always remember that you're never alone. Sharing your thoughts and feelings when you’re ready can help immensely to release and heal. The more that we are willing to talk about the challenges we're going through mentally and emotionally, the more that we understand one another. Mental health isn't scary. It doesn't define you. You are strong, and you will get through this.

Loneliness is an aching inside of us, a longing for understanding, acceptance, and comfort. It’s a feeling that happens to all of us and more often than not, can happen even in a crowded room. So why is loneliness always portrayed as the person who is the odd one out? What can fill that emptiness we feel?

This week, we dive into the first time we felt loneliness (pre-Covid times). We discuss the ways that we’ve learned to cope with it, the mechanisms to help us get out of it, and how to approach a friend who may be experiencing loneliness.

Growing up, we were constantly trying to find that balance between who society tells us to be and who we think we should be…but at the end of the day, who are we really? This week, we have on our beautiful friend Rowena Tsai who dives deep into understanding herself and her calling through lots of trials and tribulations. It’s easy to ignore your feelings and keep grinding towards a life you think you want, but when you hone in on your inner voice, you’ll realize that your purpose and mission are stronger than anything that was holding you back.

During this very overwhelming time, we wanted to record a special episode of Perfectly Imperfect to offer some emotional support for everything that has been going on in the world. 2020 has been… a LOT and has really forced us to come to terms with a lot of social ugliness that we've gotten used to or overlooked in our own lives. What can we really take away from all this and how do we manage our anxiety during these trying times? We get honest about how we’re dealing with the pandemic and what we’re doing to stay well mentally and physically.

We're BACK!! Starting off 2020 with a bit of a cleansing as we talk about how we learned about when is it the right time to let go of something or to push through? It's easy to let fear get in the way and create doubt in your mind about all the things that could go wrong, but how do you channel that energy into having the courage to go out of your comfort zone and really move onto your next chapter? Listen in to our first episode of Season 4!

As we reflect on season 3, we can’t help but feel so thankful for each and every single one of you who joined us on our journey this year. A year ago, we were both lost, finding our footing, wanting to start something but letting our doubts and fears get in the way. There was so much growth that has happened in our lives and in our friendship this season that led to Christine starting her own life coaching business, Regina starting her own clothing line, and us joining forces with AsianBossGirl and First of All podcasts to throw our first live event, "Off the Mic."

Ideas that were once dreams are now coming to fruition. This week, we talk about what season 3 has meant to us and answer some of your most asked questions!

Thank you for supporting us, thank you for believing in us. Grateful for another season, see you guys in 2020!
