Hey Rebels and Misfits! Welcome to the newest episode of the SOAL Season 3 Mini-Series: Astonishing women of color healers. Today's #WOCHealer is Judy Tsuei. She's a yoga teacher, Reiki, healer. Writer and speaker on all things, mental health for Asian-Americans. She is the hostess of F*ck Saving Face, a podcast that is both assuring and provocative while empowering Asian Americans to rebel against upholding the model minority standard. Judy aims to redefine what it means to be strong, courageous, and to break taboos placed on us by the generations that came before.
Judy & KJ explore charged topics today:
- *Storytelling can bridge generational gaps and destigmatize discussions around Mental Health.
- *We can create and be new models for Asian beauty.
Here's to redefining beauty and wellness for the new line of advocates!
Takeaways:
- Names, pronunciation-all language--is significant in shaping our relationships and our cultural identity.
- There are struggles with loneliness and isolation for Asian Americans including those of us who are Biracial Asian Americans.
- Is there a place for you where you truly felt like you were home? Where you belong?
- Who creates the definition of “Beauty” in Asian-American Culture?
- Your experience is real, even if no one is talking about it. ACKNOWLEDGE. It happened.
- Help Destigmatize Mental Health Issues such as depression and suicidality by talking about it and also addressing it through a lens that is racially considerate.
- Start with healing ourselves, for when we do, we disrupt, maybe stop intergenerational trauma.
- Self Compassion Practices include accepting and receiving love.
