Saving Face is a podcast by Eda Yu and NÜFLY dedicated to breaking the stigma around sharing hard-to-tell stories. This series challenges the notion that publicly discussing difficult personal experiences can cause us to lose face — a cultural phenomenon defined as feeling shame due to the loss of others' respect. To fight that pattern, we're asking creatives from all walks of life to recount some of their most moving personal stories in a space of openness, honesty, and healing.
