I’m going to try my very best not to fan-girl too much as I introduce today’s guest who’s joining me on the pod today. Bold, resilient, wise, and a heck of a trailblazer are but some of the words that I would use to describe her. Today’s guest is none other than the one and only, Sheena Yap-Chan. Sheena’s a keynote speaker, a consultant, and a freshly minted best-selling author at Wall Street Journal for her first book, The Tao of Self-Confidence. She is also the founder and host of the award-winning podcast of the same name, where she has since interviewed over 700 Asian women to exchange stories on their inner journey to self-confidence.
A combination of an unexpected encounter, or more accurately, a query, and Sheena’s deep desire to better comprehend the Asian dysphoria and the almost born-this-way incapacity to feel confident and own our place and voice were the triggers that started her down the path in search of stories of other who look like her and felt the same way as she did then.
Her stellar accolades aside, what I especially adored about this conversation we shared was how expansive, minus-the-fluff-honest, and validating it was.
We covered:
You know it’s a satisfyingly good one when you hear me attempt to say so much in too little time to the point that I thought I was listening to myself at double speed/tempo. I hope you’ll be able to find time any our day to soak in this one - I promise it’ll be worth it.
Connect with Sheena:
I can't thank you enough for making space in your life and spending your precious time hanging out on the pod with me. I truly appreciate every single one of you and would love the opportunity to connect with you, so please, I invite you to come find me on Instagram and say hello @heartopenconvers_asians!
