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. Rather than upholding the “model minority” standard, let’s redefine what it means to be strong, courageous, and bold in a brave new world. Let’s finally have a voice after being the silent generation for too long. 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. Wherever you are in celebrating your Asian-ness, I got you. Let’s roar together. More at www.wildheartedwords.com/podcast.

Episode 111: Navigating Self-Love with Anna Hsu
In this episode, I interview Anna Hsu, a self-worth coach, about the journey to self-love and compassion.
Growing up in traditional Asian households, we often face immense pressure to conform to strict standards of success, academic achievement, and filial piety! This pressure can lead to feelings of inadequacy, self-doubt, and a constant need to prove one's worthiness.
Moreover, navigating between two cultures—balancing traditional Asian values with Western ideals—can create internal conflicts and identity struggles, making it challenging to develop a strong sense of self-love and acceptance.
Anna shares her personal story of growing up in a traditional Asian household and feeling the pressure to constantly prove her worth. She also discusses the importance of understanding and having compassion for our parents' journeys and the impact they have on our own self-worth.
Best of all, Anna provides tools and practices for embarking on the path to self-love and emphasizes the power of celebrating ourselves and others.
She's even gifting my listeners a complimentary Gifted Clarity & Breakthrough Session! Book here.
