Being in your twenties can be unsettling at times. How many of us find ourselves going through quarter-life crises (even before or again after you hit that quarter) when we realize that THE plan, the one that was once the key to figuring out life, doesn't actually fit your life any longer? 

In honor of both Asian American and Mental Health Month, I sat down with AllfortheCookie’s small business owner, Kristine Hernandez, as she unpacks the personal stigmas around her journey in becoming an entrepreneur within her generation. From discussing personal and societal pressures, mental roadblocks, and revealing newfound confidence, she shares the experiences that have helped her solidify a resolute spirit and foundation to continue to go forth after her purpose.

Cultivating deep conversation can be challenging, and thus, makes building connections that much harder. Have you ever walked away feeling underwhelmed, unheard, or misunderstood?

In this first episode of the Resolute Vibes podcast, I wanted to dive deeper into how we can redefine our connections with one another through intentional conversation whether this is within ourselves, amongst our social circle, and society as a whole. We were never meant to walk this earth alone. So, why not dedicate a space where we can focus on strengthening our connections with one another, collect and exchange each others' stories, and celebrate being unapologetic vulnerability, collectively?
