In this episode, we get the opportunity to interview Grace Chon—an established animal photographer. We discuss her journey throughout her dynamic career paths, how she was able to stay true to creative self despite the cultural expectations that were set for her to be in the medical field, and how she discovered different healing modalities along the way to live a healthier pace of life.

Grace Chon has an exceptional ability to explain spiritual energy in a very practical and logical sense. Together, the three of us discuss what energy means, how it applies to sense of self, and how we all can reframe our mindset to promote a positive foundation for self-growth and compassion for understanding others.

Boundaries is a hot topic in our modern world, especially in mental health. In this episode, Grace explains the definition of the 3 different types of boundaries, and how it impacts our relationships. Jen dives into the details of what boundaries correlate to in TCM physiology and, how each element type acts with healthy or unhealthy boundaries. Together, Jen and Grace unpack how boundaries can impact our physical health, mental health and relationships through their own personal journeys.

In this episode, Jen and Grace are back with a lighthearted conversation discussing the ramp up of anxiety that occurs in the summer transition, definition of anxiety, and how we can understand and manage it according to therapy practices and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

We couldn’t simply have one conversation with Remee, so we split it into two. In this bonus episode, we dive into Remee’s specialty in face reading for matchmaking (including a reading of Grace and her ideal match), the origins of her studied lineage of face reading, and how face reading can interpret signs of infertility and intergenerational trauma.
