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 130: [Step 5] Embracing Pleasure Without Guilt
In this powerful episode of F*ck Saving Face, Judy Tsuei dives deep into Step 5 of her upcoming book, How to Disappoint Your Parents in 10 Shameless Steps: A Modern Asian American Guide. This chapter challenges cultural taboos around sexuality, self-care, and pleasure, offering a raw, vulnerable exploration of how these topics intersect with personal identity and family dynamics. Judy opens up about her own experiences, reflecting on how intergenerational trauma shapes our understanding of self-worth and pleasure.
A heartfelt thank you to the 144 backers who helped Judy surpass her Kickstarter campaign goal, raising over $10,000 to bring this book to life. She shares how women of color, especially, are often conditioned to overperform and avoid celebrating their successes.
In this episode, Judy invites listeners to reconsider their relationship with pleasure, advocating for the right to feel good without guilt. She reflects on how shifting her own parenting approach has empowered her daughter to embrace body autonomy and privacy. This episode is a must-listen for those seeking to heal generational wounds and live authentically, unapologetically, and shamelessly.
