#9: Ashley Nguyen — Part 1: Redefining Your Internal Worth: The Battle Against Lost Identity through Mindful Imagination

The Ally Show

In this episode, Ashley Nguyen (also seen on WePause #4) shares her deeply personal journey of self-discovery, tracing back to pivotal childhood memories that influenced her path from engineering to guiding meditation and podcasting. She delves into the impact of bullying and familial discouragement of creative pursuits and how it propelled her toward a career in science and logic. Ashley reveals how inner child healing helped her unearth suppressed creativity, creating her podcast, Awake in Wellness, as a personal passion project for healing and self-expression.

Throughout the conversation, Ashley candidly discusses the racial disparities she encountered and the importance of advocating for marginalized communities. She emphasizes the need for open dialogue and vulnerability within immigrant families to address racial differences and empower children to navigate their identities with confidence.
The conversation with Ashley for this episode lasted over two hours, so we decided to split it into two episodes. Join us for a compelling discussion on overcoming adversity, rediscovering creativity, and fostering cultural understanding. In the next episode, Ashley explores the intriguing world of astrology and its relevance to personal growth and well-being.
