Self-actualization: Embracing your whole self
•
Alyssa Kaying Vang, PsyD, LP; Chue Her, LMFT; Houa Vang, LICSW, Mosi Thao, MA
In this episode, we delve into the complexities of our identities as Hmong-Americans. We ask the challenging question: is it possible to truly reach a level of self-actualization where we can fully embrace every part of ourselves—our cultural roots, our values, our history—and live our best, most authentic lives? We reflect on whether it’s achievable to find a harmonious balance between honoring our past and carving out our own individual path in a world that often asks us to choose one identity over another. This episode will explore these themes with the hope of sparking a deeper understanding of how we can navigate our personal journeys towards self-acceptance, empowerment, and fulfillment.
