How do I love me? Let me count the ways...

Valentine's Day is around the corner but instead of focusing on love for others, this episode is all about SELF LOVE.

It is uncommon in an Asian household to hear words of affection like "I love you", and so we often grow up not knowing how to love ourselves since it appeared and felt like we were unlovable.

It took many years of conditioning to get where we are now, but perhaps this exercise shared this episode can be the start of us getting to a different place in our lives, where we do love ourselves and we do know our worth.

Have you ever wondered about the stories behind the traditons around Lunar New Year? Why we wear red, have lion dances, or what is the significance of the special dishes we eat?

Some of us may have grown up not really knowing or understanding the history, so here is a basic run down of why and how some practices came to be in order bring in luck for the New Year!

I reference quickly a few children’s books that I’ll be sharing with my 4 year old Daughter.

Do you have a Parent Wound?

This episode defines what a Parent wound is and shares 10 examples of signs to look out for in ourselves so that we can become aware. For example, behaviours like people pleasing and perfectionism, these actually stem from a parent wound. Becoming aware allows us to feel compassion and understanding for ourselves, and it gives us back our power to realize that we have the ability to change these behaviours that no longer serve us.

Growing up with Asian parents often meant strict households with little affection and questionable disciplinary practices. This may have resulted in childhood trauma and your subconscious believing you are not worthy of things like love. We don’t realize how much this affects us in our adult lives and the lives of the people we love. 

This podcast is about unpacking the complexities of childhood trauma, digging deep to discover our younger self and reparenting our inner child in order to heal. It is about finding compassion, love, and understanding for ourselves, and perhaps our parents too. 

How we grew up doesn’t have to be our legacy, we can stop passing down generational trauma.

Join us every Monday for a new episode. WE ARE WORTHY.

Much love from your host and fellow worthy Asian, 

Shana
