  • Ep 24 Cultural Appropriation in the Spiritual Space
    Is it okay for a white person to practice Eastern or indigenous spirituality? (Short answer: yes, BUT with more work!)
    When does it count as cultural appropriation?

    This is a complicated topic, and by no means is this episode of the podcast all you need to know. I don't claim to be an expert here, but I would love to hear some thoughts from my listeners on this subject!New episodes post Monday and Friday!

  • Ep 23 Asian Pacific American Heritage Month and the Perpetual Foreigner Experience
    It's Asian Pacific American Heritage Month! Also known as APIA Heritage Month.

    After a month long break from producing this podcast, this episode represents the first "pivot" in this content toward healing: whether that is psychological healing, spiritual healing, or societal healing.

    In this episode, I'm focusing on the "perpetual foreigner experience" that is so common with Asian Americans, both here in the United States and when visiting countries abroad in Asia. And I make the connection between the LGBTQ experience and the Asian American experience when it comes to forging a personal identity that is different from that of your parents.New episodes post Monday and Friday!

  • Ep 21 Queer Respectability Politics
    What are queer or LGBT respectability politics? In this episode, I go over the concept of respectability politics with examples in other communities. Then, I offer some insights on the deeper meaning behind why the LGBT community polices its own behavior.

    Apologies for some sound issues in this episode. I'm not sure what adjustments I need to make to remove the echo!New episodes post Monday and Friday!
