EP 98: The most powerful tool for finding contentment [Mindfulness]

As a daughter of immigrants, I've often experienced a sense of scarcity that has led to a fear of happiness.

It’s been helpful to learn that happiness is not about being in a state of joy 24/7 — instead, it's about contentment, and collecting moments of happiness by being fully present in those moments, to lift you up when life inevitably gets tough.

The F*ck Saving Face Podcast

with JudyTsuei

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.
