  • Episode 32: I'm Fragile & That's Ok | Paradox of Aloneness + Connection
    Oct 29 2024

    In this episode, I talk about the paradox of Aloneness and Connection. Growing up as the minority in lots of spaces, I learned how to match energies, to fit in, and to be accepted, often leaving me in performative mode, exhausted and disconnected from my true self. Now, as I step away from that constant need to prove myself, I’ve found strength in vulnerability, and peace in being alone. In this raw and honest reflection, I talk about how my alone time has allowed me to make real connections with myself, with God, and with others. It’s about letting go of the lies, reconnecting with my real self, and learning that true connection starts from within.

    In this episode, I chat about the paradox of Aloneness and Connection. Growing up as a minority in many spaces, I learned to adapt, to match energies, and to fit in, a pattern that often left me feeling performative, exhausted, and disconnected from my true self. But now, as I step back from the constant need to prove myself, I’m finding strength in vulnerability and peace in alone time.

    Through honest reflection, I share how moments of aloneness have been pivotal in forming authentic connections, first with God, then with myself, and ultimately with others. This episode is about letting go of false narratives, reconnecting with the person I truly am, and understanding that genuine connection begins from within. Join me as we explore the journey from isolation to self-discovery, revealing that sometimes, feeling fragile is exactly where we find our real strength.

  • Episode 31: Life is Full of Surprises with Judy | Paradox of Uncertainty + Wisdom
    Oct 15 2024

    Welcome back to Season 4 of The Life I Love Podcast! This season, we're diving deep into life's paradoxes, and this month we're exploring the delicate balance between uncertainty and wisdom. In today's episode, Life is Full of Surprises, I chat with a good friend, Judy Wong.

    Judy is a powerhouse in Talent Acquisition, with over 10 years of experience across corporate and nonprofit sectors. As a single mom, she's learned firsthand how to juggle the demands of work and motherhood with grace. She's also a passionate advocate for diversity and inclusion, working tirelessly to break down barriers to employment and create opportunities for everyone to thrive. Mental wellness and work-life balance are close to her heart, and she’s committed to fostering environments where people feel supported.

    In this episode, Judy shares her journey of finding peace in uncertainty, and how learning to embrace the unknown has brought more wisdom into her life. She opens up about a pivotal moment in her life when she made the difficult decision to leave the security of her marriage and become a single mom. It wasn’t easy, but Judy trusted her inner wisdom and knew that stepping into the unknown was the best choice for her and her son’s well-being. Through this experience, she learned that sometimes wisdom comes from trusting yourself, even when the future feels uncertain. Judy’s story is a beautiful reminder that by letting go and embracing life’s unpredictability, we can create space for growth and fulfillment.

    Let’s dive in!

  • Episode 30: I'm a Borderline Narcissist & I'm Ok | Paradox of Uncertainty and Wisdom
    Oct 1 2024

    In this episode, we explore the complex and often misunderstood traits of borderline narcissism. I talk about how narcissistic tendencies can stem from childhood trauma, including growing up in dysfunctional households, experiencing housing insecurity, or facing other Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). We discuss the fine line between healthy self-reflection and an excessive focus on self, and how these behaviors can keep us from embracing the uncertainty of life.

    Through personal reflection and insights, I examine how our need for control and validation can block us from tapping into true wisdom. Tune in as we unpack the paradox of uncertainty and wisdom, and discover how embracing the unknown can lead to personal growth, even when we struggle with self-centered tendencies.

    Sep 17 2024

    Hi! Welcome back! Season 4 of the Life I Love Podcast is all about paradoxes, and this month, we’re discussing the balance between impermanence and stability. On today’s episode, Start Before You're Ready, I’m honored to chat with Kahja Elliott.

    Kahja is an East Coast transplant who has called the Bay Area home for the last 10 years. She’s a food enthusiast and influencer who believes the best way to know a place is through its food. In 2022, her passion led her to launch Kay In The Bay, a platform dedicated to creating community through food. Kahja is also the creator and host of The As Told By Podcast, where she interviews people across various intersections of the food industry.

    In this episode, Kahja and I explore the paradox of impermanence and stability. She shares how trusting herself has empowered her to take big risks, even when she didn’t feel entirely ready, and how that leap of faith has led to some of her greatest successes. Kahja talks about navigating change while staying grounded and how starting before you’re ready has been a core principle that has helped her balance the fluidity of life with a sense of stability.

  • Episode 28: My Body Shut Down & I'm Ok | Impermanence + Stability
    Sep 3 2024

    In this episode of the Life I Love Podcast, we're diving into the paradox of impermanence and stability—two concepts that may seem at odds but are deeply interconnected. I'll be sharing a personal story about how becoming a mom again after 12 years turned my world upside down. Determined to keep up with my usual go-getter routine, I pushed myself to the brink, only to have my body completely shut down.

    But guess what? I’m okay. This experience taught me the importance of embracing life’s unpredictable changes while finding stability within. We’ll explore how moments of feeling lost can lead to unexpected growth and how our past, with all its ups and downs, can anchor us in ways we never imagined.

    Plus, I’ll share a guided visualization to help you embrace impermanence and find your inner stability. Whether you’re navigating the chaos of life or just looking for a bit of grounding, this episode is for you. Tune in, and let's find the balance between change and consistency together.
