97: Exit the Asian Pressure Cycle
Do you ever experience so much pressure that you feel like you’re going to POP?
That’s likely because you don’t even know what’s causing you to feel so much pressure.
But for Asian-American women, there is more to the pressure than you might realize at first.
Inside this episode, I break down the three-part Asian Pressure Cycle, and the cultural conditioning AAPI women grow up with, which could be squeezing you in ways you don’t even realize.
I also share my controversial take about pressure, which you don’t want to miss!
