F*ck Saving Face
If you’re an Asian-American who grew up learning that you had to “save face” and be a “good girl,” let’s remove all the guilt, shame, and taboos to talk about the things we weren’t given permission to explore. Join me, your host, Judy Tsuei, every week as I explore mental, emotional, and physical health like never before, telling it like it is. We might shock the generation before us, but hopefully, you and I will create a more conscious way of being for the generation after us. Life may not always be pretty, but it is indeed beautiful — make your story beautiful today. More at www.judytsuei.com.
