Episode 117: Unlearning Silence to Empower Asian American Voices with Elaine Lin Hering

Judy Tsuei

Join us for an eye-opening conversation with Elaine Lin Hering, author of "Unlearning Silence," as she delves into the crucial journey of breaking through silence to empower mental and emotional health — especially for Asian Americans and voices of color. 

From her personal journey as a high-achieving Asian woman (she's the one our Asian tiger parents compared us to!) to the urgent need to close the gap in leadership and create supportive work environments, Elaine shares invaluable insights and actionable advice. 

Discover why choosing a different path and rejecting the status quo are essential for personal growth, and how imposter syndrome and social structures can hinder authentic expression. 

Hear the emotional impact of sharing personal stories and the transformative power of transparency and language in reducing isolation and pain. 

From embracing imperfection to building trust and love in relationships, this episode unpacks the keys to fostering open communication, challenging harmful habits, and creating safe spaces for growth. 

Tune in to an empowering conversation that celebrates the power of finding your voice and breaking the silence.
