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 116: How to Navigate Co-Parenting Through Kids Journaling with Fiona Kong
Join me in this captivating episode as I sit down with Fiona Kong, the inspiring founder of Home Sweet Homes Journal.
Fiona Kong's journey from adversity to triumph is nothing short of remarkable. As a single mompreneur, she transformed personal challenges into opportunities. After experiencing separation and job loss in 2019, Fiona courageously launched Home Sweet Homes Journal during the pandemic. Her driving force? To support not only her own son but co-parented children worldwide.
Delving into her own childhood trauma, Fiona recognized a critical need for emotional support in children. Thus, she crafted journals containing the nurturing elements she longed for as a child. The Home Sweet Homes journal, along with the All About Me, by Us journal (suitable for any family dynamic), are empowering future generations by instilling emotional intelligence, communication skills, and fostering stronger parent-child connections.
Within these journals lie daily prompts, affirmation themes, and sections for co-parenting schedules. Fiona passionately underscores the significance of emotional regulation and open communication between children and parents. Through reflection and repair, these journals serve as invaluable tools in constructing resilient parent-child relationships and laying the groundwork for a brighter future.
