Two Asian guys talking about how their lives are growing up in Canada. The struggles and traditions of what makes us who we are today. How we blended our culture from our parents and our Canadian roots to living life as a second-gen.

    67. Transcending Genders with Cece Chow

    Cece Chow (@thetransplanter) wears many hats. She is a model, a visual artist, a kokedama guru (if you don't know what that is, check out @official_kokedama), but most importantly, an advocate for positive Asian trans representation. Cece's journey has not been easy, growing up in a traditional Asian household, taking the usual path of getting a degree, getting married, having kids, but always thinking that something was missing or needed to change. In this episode, Cece shares her life story, from her earliest recollection of wanting to be different, to her eventual gender change at the age of 42. This is going to be an episode you do not want to miss! You can follow Cece on Tiktok @thetransplanter as well! Throughout the episode, Cece mentions a few resources you can reach out to for more information including skippingstone.ca and pflagcanada.ca

Tom shares his experience with us, in an area where not many have ventured. This is gonna be a good one!

    60. Understanding Intergenerational Trauma with Amy Yip

    If you've ever tried just having (or more like attempted) a conversation with your parents to get a little bit of an insight into their lives before being shut down, this episode's for you. Heck, If you've ever really just tried to ask them a question before being shut down with a one-word response, this episode's for you. You might think it's them, but maybe, you're just not asking the right questions. This is where our guest, Amy Yip comes in. Amy is the author of Unfinished Business: Breaking Down the Great Wall between Adult Child and Immigrant Parents. In our conversation, Amy takes us through her thought process on developing the idea for the book, the why, the "experiment", the discovery, and the eventual resolution between her and her parents. Our discussion goes deep and touches upon the subject of intergenerational trauma, where instances or issues that affected our parent's past lives transcend through the generations to us, which, if left unaltered or unrepaired, will continue through to the next generation. For all of us out there who have had trouble talking to our parents (which is probably about 99% of us), this is a definite must-listen. For more information on Amy's book and to reach out to Amy, please visit amyyipcoaching.com. Her book is available at all major outlets including Amazon and Barnes and Noble. You can also find her on Linkedin under amyyipcoaching
