    In this episode one of my good friends, Laura Gao, and I are talking about her journey into being a writer, our gender identity, and sexuality. We both identify as queer with pronouns she/they, and share about how we've come to these identities :) Laura is a queer comic artist and has published a book, "Messy Roots" (https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/55867756-messy-roots). She's been interviewed by NPR and many others which is freakin CRAZY. Ty Laura for hanging out with me and ty to everyone for taking the time to listen 333

    13 - Therapy!!

    In this episode my friend Vy Luu is joining me in talking about our love for therapy!! Being open about mental health is tough, especially in Asian communities. We share about how we came about starting therapy, and some insights we've gained in this journey :) There are also so fun tangents with Asian American authors, and extending care throughout communities. This was so fun for me and eye opening for me, thank you Vy!

    12 - Eating Disorders and Body Image

    It's National Eating Disorder Awareness Week! I had an eating disorder throughout my time in college and I wanted to bring awareness to the condition as well as provide some sort of comfort for those going through it right now.  Here are the websites I was referring to in the video:  https://now.org/now-foundation/love-your-body/love-your-body-whats-it-all-about/get-the-facts/#:~:text=Body%20Image,the%20time%20girls%20reach%20seventeen.&text=When%20asked%20%E2%80%9CAre%20you%20happy,their%2060s%20answered%20%E2%80%9Cyes%E2%80%9D. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/common-eating-disorders#binge-eating-disorder Stephanie Buttermore's All In Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9z5xqAP7ek This was EXTREMELY helpful for me.

    10 - Asian Women Take on Lesbians! ;)

    In this episode I'm talking with one of my best buds, Glaiza, about our experience in figuring out our sexuality. Surprise, we're both lesbians! Both of us are Asian American women, and navigating through our sexuality while also battling conflicting standards between Eastern and Western cultures is a long, never ending process. Not only are we talking about our journey, but we are also discussing the word "Lesbian" and what it means to us, as well as how society has portrayed it. I definitely learned a lot, and hanging out with Glaiza helps me feel more comfortable in my own skin! To all my queer asian women out there, we are with you :). And thank you also to everyone else that has taken the time to listen and learn about other communities in this world 3
