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.

KJ Nasrul: On What It Truly Means to Listen to our Bodies, Recalibrating, and Returning
Join me and my beloved friend KJ as she returns to this space for an intimate, vulnerable, and important conversation where she shares details, observations, and insights through one of the scariest and most traumatic health struggles she has lived through these past months.
Other areas we covered:
- How her people-pleasing tendencies almost cost her her life
- How the experience with her doctors on birth control medications became the wake-up call she needed to start listening to her body
- Discuss what it means to eat and live according to her roots and from the lands of her people
- 2 simple and short practices we practiced in real-time to introduce the idea and practice of listening to our bodies
As I navigate through a transitional period myself, this conversation served as a timely reminder for me to honor my own even if it means to disappoint others.
I'm beyond elated to see KJ return to the pink of health and at the time of this episode being published, she is in "the land of her people", as she so beautifully termed, returning to do the most meaningful and soulful work of conducting wellness retreats.
I hope you'll enjoy this one as much as I did having it.
