    Emotion as a Strength (s7e02)

    Emotion as a Strength (s7e02)

    How does my personal background impact the way I express emotions and feelings today? How can I take care of myself while I take care of others placed within my care who are struggling with their emotional wellbeing? 

    Mrs. Sarah Oh, friend, Pharmacist, mother, and Biblical Counseling Seminary student, provides personal insight on the topic of emotions. Listen in as she and Victoria scratch the surface of emotional expression and wellbeing within the context of being Asian women and Christ-followers in the United States.

    Rest: Season 7 Episode 1

    Rest: Season 7 Episode 1

    Victoria's hot take: hustle culture is antithetical to human flourishing. Let's define hustle culture. Many people overvalue being productive and/or becoming an idealized version of themselves at the expense of their own health. As a result, people don't know how or when to rest properly. Burnout coupled with mental, physical, and emotional issues are too common. Productivity isn't inherently negative! Work and rest should function within God's design for humanity.

    How to Stop Our Obsession with Perfectionism

    We explore the topic of perfectionism with Dr. Kenneth T. Wang (Professor of Psychology at Fuller Theological Seminary) by first understanding what it is (did you know there are 2 core dimensions?) and then how do we stop obsessing over perfectionism so we can be more humane and sane with ourselves and one another.

MomTom3 ,

So good!

Really appreciate how authentic this podcast. It’s so comforting to hear us talk about a topic that affects Asian Americans so deeply yet is rarely addressed. Loved hearing Victoria Cheng’s story too!

Curiousjeffis ,

God has brought revelation and healing from this podcast!

I’m so glad I discovered (or God led me) to this podcast! I was listening for encouragement, inspiration and practical spiritual and emotional health education but God did me one better and powerfully ministered to my spirit through this podcast as well! Wow! Thanks and keep up the great ministry through this, DJ and the community!

deconstructed ,
