Heart Open ConversAsians
A thoughtfully curated space where intentional and honest conversations are had and held for and with a community I hold near and dear to my heart: the Asian collective. Every month, you’ll hear a guest join me in conversation, followed by a solo episode in the same month where I share and weave in my reflections and learnings from that conversation.
Together, we’ll exchange stories of our uniquely hard yet beautiful lives, our journeys, learned experiences and lessons, with the hope that it will encourage and empower you to live out your one precious yet nuanced life that is most true and most YOU. I’m that friend you can count on as we walk together on this journey to learn to embrace and make space for all parts of us. You’re welcome here.

Denise Michelle - Part 1: On Navigating Grief, A Surrendering of a Lifetime and Rediscovering Oneself
Today's story on the pod is one that belongs to a very dear friend, both to me and also to this community, Denise Michelle. Denise is The SelfLove Alchemist®, an Award-Winning Transformational Life Coach, Rapid Transformation Hypnotherapist, #1 International Best Selling Author, creator of HypnoHealing®, Think and Grow Rich Instructor, and Self Love Expert with a background in the healing arts and spiritual entrepreneurship. In her 20-year personal healing journey, she has beaten the odds with mental illness, sexual abuse, addiction, anxiety, suicidal depression, and bankruptcy. It was through navigating those events that she learned that living a vision-driven life is the ultimate practice of SelfLove, the place where dreams come alive and transformation is made, and led her to where she gets to dedicate her deep connection with spirit and education on SelfLove Mastery to help soulful leaders in their path to serve the collective.
I'm beyond honored to hold the space for Denise's story on the pod once again as she shares openly what these past couple of years looked like for her grieving through 5 deaths in the family, welcoming travels back into her life again, then ultimately and almost serendipitously, leaving her dream home and moved across the country to follow a calling in her heart that led her through deep surrenderings and refueled empowerment towards her life's work and legacy.
This was packed to the brim with all the feels and insights that it was impossible (nor was it meant to) be contained in one episode so here's Part 1 of it.
This was a magical and deeply moving one for me, you guys. I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I did having the conversation and that perhaps it’ll nudge you to take a moment to sit with yourself, have gratitude for what's here, and learn to take tiny strides to trust and love yourself again.
Deep breaths always, dear ones. Stay with us to catch Part 2!
P.S: This episode contains triggering content relating to suicide and should this feels too much for you right now, please take care of yourself and sit out on this one. For assistance and help, you're at liberty to contact the healthcare experts available to you at 988 Suicide. You're not alone, dear one.
