One thing that almost never fails to uplift me every time I’m in a rut or feeling discouraged is to be in community with fellow allies and like-minded creatives who embrace not just the well and shiny parts of human-ing, but also the darker and trying parts. 

My guest on the pod today may just know more than a thing or two about human-ing and healing and I couldn’t fathom a more timely moment to be in conversation with her as I navigate through a season that’s feeling heavier than usual. 

Victoria Duffy is a first-generation Asian American who resides in Seattle, Washington. Growing up as a child of immigrants who had little to their names and their pockets to make ends meet, Victoria’s childhood was more arduous than most her age. She is passionate about holding space and being in community with others like her and found her calling and start her entrepreneurial journey as a coach and more recently, a full-time podcaster, sharing insights into her journey of healing from generational trauma and doing life through the lens of an Asian-American in today’s times.

I invite you to cosy up and join us as we share our individually learned yet shared experiences around: 

  • Our LOVE for podcasting as our chosen medium to hone our creativity and cultivate connection
  • What generational trauma can look like and the intrinsically nuanced parent-child relationship, and
  • The beautiful irony between accountability and freedom 


This was pure therapy and nourishment for my current soul. I hope you’ll enjoy this one and walk away with downloads that fuels and feeds your insides as well. 

Stick around towards the end if you will, to listen to an announcement I’ll be making.
