Naomi Chan ]]>EP1: The cost of bottling emotions in Asian culture - A Journey to Self ft. Naomi Chan

What does it look like to find light when everything around you feels like chaos?

In this episode, I'm joined by Naomi Chan, a mental health advocate who opens up about her own emotional challenges and the moments that helped her find her way through.

We also talk about how to show up for the friends and family in our lives when they're struggling. And the myths we still hold about mental health as a society. The ones that keep so many of us quiet.

This conversation stayed with me long after we stopped recording. I hope it does the same for you.

If it speaks to you, share it with someone who might need it — and leave a review if you enjoyed this one. xx
