    Being Asian American in 2021

    Long time no see! We are so thrilled to be able to record again! It has been a hectic number of months since our last episode, but we are so thankful for everyone's patience. The two of us love this podcast and we never want to record and produce if it is going to bring stress, so we focused on school for the past couple months and did not allow one of our favorite hobbies to become stressful! Now, we are so excited to be back. Today's episode is our favorite episode yet! In an interview style setting, Kate McLaughlin interviews and engages in an amazingly productive conversation with Kate Truong who shares her experience growing up and being Asian American (specifically Vietnamese-American). Kate opened up in this extremely vulnerable and emotional discussion sparked by the recent influx of xenophobia and hate crimes since the pandemic. Thank you endlessly Kate for opening up in hopes it would empower other Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders during this tragic time. We hope you enjoy and thank you for supporting Lift Up Your Crown! You can find us on our Instagram, @liftupyourcrown, or on our person accounts, @katemcl16 and @katetruongg.

    Rejecting Diet Culture!

    Kate Truong said it best: “make food our friend!” This episode discusses d*et culture! We cannot stand seeing so many people - especially young girls - being so negatively impacted by the toxicity that is diet culture. It is easy to get in and feels impossible to escape! We are here to break down what diet culture is, what it looks like/how it presents itself, and how you can actively reject it. We hope you enjoy and thank you for supporting Lift Up Your Crown!

    What Even Is School in 2020? w/ Miss M!

    Zoom? Google Meet? Masks the whole time? Whatever you're doing, it is new and difficult for both students and teachers! We have slightly varying opinions when it comes to hybrid learning and we sat down to discuss these differences and what works for each of us. After this conversation, Miss M, Kate McLaughlin's older sister joined us to provide a teachers perspective and give some wise pieces of advice. We hope this episode provides some validation and offers some guidance that you could benefit from. We are getting through this together! We once again want to extend virtual hugs to everyone for being so patient and understanding with us as we figure out how to juggle Lift Up Your Crown with junior year. We hope this episode was worth the wait and enjoy Lift Up Your Crown!

    Fantasy Draft...but Make it Music

    Did you miss us? This week, Kate and Kate are brought together via zoom to maintain social distancing guidelines! In today's episode, we briefly discuss the importance of music, but then we dive into the ~main event~! We wanted to make an episode a little more lightweight, so we decided to do a fantasy draft and then bracket 'playoff' of our favorite musicians with only one rule:they must have made music in the last decade! From there on, it's free game. This week's episode went on for quite a bit longer than we expected, but it was SO fun to plan, make, record, and edit. We hope you enjoy and thank you for supporting Lift Up Your Crown!

    Did you miss us? Welcome back to Lift Up Your Crown with Kate and Kate! Everybody feels self-conscious at one point or another. It could be anything - doubting yourself is normal - but dangerous. Today's episode is a more serious topic, yet an extremely important message to understand:self-image. Why do we feel self-conscious? Who can make you feel self-conscious? We wrap things up with the dangers of comparison and how to feel confident in your day to day life. We hope you enjoy and thank you for supporting Lift Up Your Crown!
