Unleash Your Inner Power with Dr. Janny Chang

Welcome to Unleash Your Inner Power with Dr. Janny Chang! I am so glad to be on this journey with you. Together, we will tap into and unleash our inner power and collectively as women. In this podcast, I introduce myself and talk about my story and how I came to coaching. Managing my mind and using thoughtwork has always been a part of my life, but using practicing it on a daily basis has transformed the way I approach every aspect of my life. I talk about the methods I use - a combination of thought work, research, and storytelling - to give clients the tools to unleash the inner power. I talk a bit about anthropology here and how thought work complements this background. I want to offer the best and customized tools for you. Learn to manage your mind and the rest will follow. If you want to tap into your inner power, then join me on this journey. Let's dig in!

Ep. #13: Codependency, culture, and the holidays

November 19, 2021 • Janny

As the holiday season approaches and people use the buzzwords "codependency" and "enmeshment" to talk about their relationships with others, I talk all about relationships in this episode. Where does the term "codependency" come from? How do we take into consideration cultural and historical context when we talk about "codependent" relationships? In some cultures and in the historical context, being a "fixer" was valued and was the means to survival. This is similar for cultures and groups with generational trauma. I explore this discussion and provide a step-by-step plan on how you can transform triggers and any of these relationships that you have into a deeper, intimate, and more loving relationship with yourself. This will plan will help you in your journey towards healing and it will save you mental drama during the holiday season.
