Short audience statement: I help Asian women unlearn the guilt, expectations, and people-pleasing they inherited from their upbringing. Person: A Filipina American woman — likely eldest daughter, possibly diaspora — who has spent her whole life being good at carrying everyone else. She's educated, capable, probably in a caring role. She's not falling apart. She just can't figure out why she still feels like something is missing, or why wanting something for herself feels like a betrayal. Problem: She inherited patterns — guilt, people-pleasing, shrinking — so early she doesn't even recognize them as patterns. She just thinks this is who she is. And always will be. Promise: She will find out who she is when no one is watching, when no one is expecting anything from her. She will meet herself underneath all of the conditioning she grew up with and smile at her in the mirror. Process: Through Caring Science, somatic practice, and story medicine and more, she unlearns the specific cultural and generational stories she was handed, and builds an identity that truly belongs to her, and finally knows where she belongs. Gib me feedback 😆 Plz and thank you

if i were to go live today in a couple hours, who would be down to jam on some stuff? would love to support y’all lemme know thinking around 3pm PST if we get enough folks that are down

I'm getting into the Substack groove y'all! Have two weeks of posts and notes ready to go! Working on a volunteer workshop to introduce Caring Science to people at work! Currently living the dream (and not in a sarcastic way lol)

I scheduled Substack notes through Tuesday by using the generated clips from my first podcast episode :) Dropped the link here! https://open.substack.com/pub/hearthandforgehealing?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=5i0prk

Can I get some feedback on mine? I was inspired! Person: The high-achieving, emotionally exhausted caregiver who has spent their whole life being useful to everyone else — and forgot what it feels like to actually choose themselves. Problem:They are so practiced at functioning through exhaustion that when they finally stop, rest feels unfamiliar, even uncomfortable — and the feelings that were waiting for them show up all at once. Promise: You don't have to overhaul your life to start feeling human again — you just have to stop being last on your own list. Process: I have a few offerings!! Join me for One Caring Moment, a free live masterclass rooted in Dr. Jean Watson's Caring Science and Lifestyle Medicine where I use somatic breathwork, HeartMath, energy healing, and Story Medicine to help emotionally exhausted people come back to themselves — body, mind, heart, and soul. Four Caring Moments With Yourself is a 4-session live program rooted in Dr. Jean Watson's Caring Science and Lifestyle Medicine where somatic breathwork, HeartMath, energy healing, and Story Medicine help emotionally exhausted people come back to themselves — body, mind, heart, and soul. HeartForged is an 8-week live program rooted in Dr. Jean Watson's Caring Science and Lifestyle Medicine where I use somatic breathwork, HeartMath, energy healing, and Story Medicine to help emotionally exhausted people come back to themselves — body, mind, heart, and soul.
