Let the speaking travel begin! Glad to be in person with The Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers for their annual convention in Atlanta!

Leading my workshops on “Reframing the Identity Narrative with the Imposter Syndrome” and “Coping with Grief and Trauma in the Workplace.”

Going to be a fun month since this is the first in a travel whirlwind the next few weeks!

Coming full circle!

Enjoyed being in Los Angeles last week to lead mental health sessions at the Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA) Annual Convention! First time held in person since 2019.

I absolutely loved leading the mental health session for J-Camp - AAJA’s multicultural journalism program for high school students. (I also led the session for college and grad students).

If you didn’t know, I started my career in broadcast journalism in DC so giving back to journalists and budding journalists is super special.

I discussed with students prevalent mental health issues as well as answered a plethora of insightful questions. I really won them over by incorporating Korean dramas into my talk and pointing out how they benefit our mental health 😉

So coming full circle - my own career journey entrails moving from broadcasting to business school to motherhood to marketing to graduate school for therapy to running my own private practice.

Today, I am using all those skills as a corporate speaker and mental health expert for organizations. 😎

The best Mother’s Day ever! All of my kids together and getting to be with my mom too. Can’t think of a better way to spend Mother’s Day than watching my first child graduate from college. She graduates with a dual degree from NC State University and UNC Chapel Hill in Biomedical Engineering.

I can’t even explain the emotions…. But I can say how proud I am to have my daughter enter the field as a Korean American female. She moves to Washington, DC in five days and will begin her career with Medtronic (medical devices) in cardiology and electrophysiology at the end of the month.

What a way to celebrate my Asian heritage! 🥳. Today’s milestone for me as a mother gave my mental health the boost it needed to get through my busiest month yet!

Happy API heritage month and mental health awareness month!

Excited to kick off today Asian Pacific Islander Heritage Month (APIHM) and National Mental Health Awareness Month with the 2nd annual Transformasian conference hosted by Asian Mental Health Collective.

I feel so privileged to be moderating a fireside chat with New York Times bestselling authors Cathy Park Hong (Minor Feelings) and Michelle Zauner (Crying in H Mart). Our chat will highlight themes from the three conference pillars - self, community, society.

Looking forward to gleaning from their wisdom!

I talk about what it looks like coping with trauma. Thank you, Julia Chan for your work on this!

Happy International Women’s Day! In honor of IWD, I’m proud to share that my business, Your Change Provider, PLLC® is sponsoring the inaugural Women Who Boss Up book tour in 2022! 😎 Excited about this new milestone for me.

This year’s theme for IWD is which is especially fitting. International Women’s Day is about celebrating and highlighting womens’ achievements and successes in society around the world. 💪

Let’s break the bias together!

Reframing our narrative, addressing Asian stereotypes, and promoting a sense of belonging among POCs in the workplace are the biggest takeaways from speaking with employee resource group (ERG) leaders this week.

There’s impactful change happening in corporate America and I’m so excited to be part of it by encouraging and empowering these Asian leaders all the way! 💪

There. Is. Hope.

It's been a while since I posted (and yes, I did have to deal with getting hacked). In the days and weeks ahead, I hope I'm as as I can be for my AAPI community.

I'll be facilitating numerous conversations and talks around trauma and how to cope. It's not easy to talk about, but definitely the norm these days.

I had hoped 2022 would look different.

There is always hope and as I like to say, no one can take away your hope.

Reposting - AAPI women and enbies, join us next week for a special session of The Space for grief, healing, and processing our sense of safety in everyday environments with Jeanie Y. Chang, LMFT, CCTP, CIMHP.

Previously this event was scheduled as a space for talking about relationships, but we’ve pivoted in light of recent events. This intimate session will be capped at 25 participants. Participants must abide by the AAJA Code of Conduct. The ink to register is in our bio.
