Priorities Shift Like Tectonic Plates w/ Kathleen Dang

Golden Goddess Affirmations

Welcome back to the Golden Goddess Affirmation Podcast, where Asian women focus on our mental health. Kathleen Dang serves the Asian American community through her culture-centric, education-centric community work. She relates it to her affirmation, "I define my roles as a woman, whether that means a mother at home, a CEO, both, neither or more."

Kathleen recognizes that these labels add a lot of pressure to our lives and shares a personal story about a transition in her life. She has advice for things that are challenging to habit form: attach it to something you enjoy doing.

Trixi and Kathleen discuss the barrier of being the overachieving Asian American girl and being misdiagnosed.
