If you’ve ever felt like the world wasn’t made for you... You might be right. But, that doesn’t mean who you are is wrong.
In this episode, my guest Nhu Nguyen and I talk about:
- How to find belonging when the world isn't set up for you.
- Understanding our coping mechanisms, especially when they start doing more harm than good.
- Learning how to support yourself even when self-love doesn't seem possible.
- Identifying green flags in friendships.
- Strategies for navigating really, really hard times.
CW: Suicidal ideation, self-harm, sexual assault, and substance abuse.
About Nhu:
Nhu Nguyen is a Creative Director, Multimedia Designer & Social Activist based in Washington, D.C. For as long as she can remember, she's always had a need to express herself creatively. She would spend countless hours as a child attempting to master one medium after another; whether it was drawing, painting, singing, writing, theater, piano…Nhu just couldn’t get enough! The day she picked up her first camera was when she truly found her calling and introduction to the world of multimedia and design. Nhu started her photography business at the ripe age of 15 and hasn't turned back since.
