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.

Crystal Bui: On Navigating the World of News Reporting, Courage to Pivot, and Trusting Your Inner Knowing
In this 1st episode of a new season on the podcast, I bring you a poignant yet candid conversation with the stunning and tenacious human, Crystal Bui, a prolific news reporter across 10 years and 6 states with her most definitive work seen in the reporting of George Floyd's murder in 2020, a recently minted Amazon bestselling author of her memoir 'More To Tell' and her newest title as CEO of a video production and media relations firm, Spotlight Communications Group.
She walked us through her journey and career as a news reporter that lasted a decade, shed light on the good, bad, and ugly including unpacking themes of sexism and racism, and then later on how it inspired her memoir, and gave her the insights and courage to trust her knowing in search of alternative purposes.
I hope you'll enjoy this one as much as I did having it.
