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.

Episode 106: The Most Unexpected Encounter with My Deceased Grandmother [Memoir Excerpts]
Excavating through old writings, I discovered a piece titled "Reiki and the Reappearance of My Grandmother," a vivid recounting of the end of a relationship, my struggle with an eating disorder, and my decision to prioritize my well-being. There's a narrative power in our personal histories, the lessons we've learned, and the paths we've walked.
Grandmothers have a special place in our hearts. Mine had a profound impact on my life. As our roles reversed in her later years, I cherished our walks and the wisdom she imparted. After her passing, I discovered an old video that confirmed her love for me, a moment of comfort amidst overwhelming emotions.
In an emotionally charged session with a medium, I connected with my deceased grandmother. The experience filled me with a mix of longing and reassurance. To this day, I hold on to her words — she is always with me. The spiritual encounter has become an integral part of my memoir.
Today's episode features memoir excerpts about my grandmother, food, and love. Despite the joy of Saturday morning pancakes at McDonald's with my dad to the simplicity of our home-cooked meals, my relationship with food became more complicated, shaped by cultural and personal factors. Looking back, I see the evolution of my understanding and relationship with food.
Tune in today for imperfect excerpts of my book that people have been saying they simply want more, and more, and more of!
