The Buddhist AF Podcast

Tonight…
We talk grandparents, identity, and how I became the Noy you know today.
There are Lao lessons along the way—
and yes, an honest discussion about why Laotians drink so much at funerals.
It’s cultural. Trust me.

Tonight…
We keep things light this week.
I talk about how I learned English, what it’s been like relearning Lao, the origins of the name Noy,
and finish with a small Lao lesson along the way.
Easy conversation, shared language, and a little cultural grounding.

**Trigger Warning**
Tonight… This episode contains a conversation about suicide—those who have attempted it, and those who are left behind. I speak openly about my own attempt, the thoughts that didn’t disappear afterward, and how I learned to live alongside them without letting them win. I also share a simple, practical technique that anyone can use in moments of real need— not to fix everything, but to get through the next breath.

Tonight…
We talk about rules—living in D.C., not following many of them, and how that somehow led to me becoming a ninja.
Then it’s off to Rochester, New York, and the absolute shock of Rochester weather.
I learn how to control pain tolerance, experience my first crush ever, draw a line in the sand in fifth grade…
and somehow end up with a German man who really wants to wrestle me.

Tonight…
Starting at the beginning.
I talk about village life, the correct way to say my name, what it meant to come to America—
and how, somehow, the men in my family still haven’t mastered the water fountain.
