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.

Isabel Tom shares about why it’s extra challenging for us as Asian Americans to care for aging parents and grandparents. Isabel has worked in the field of senior care and shares so much wisdom, expertise, and practical knowledge that helps us navigate this inevitable season of life.

(Recorded in November 2023 during national caregivers month.)

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