Letting go of toxic narratives, healing generational trauma, and celebrating Asian women leaders with Sheena Yap Chan, Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author of The Tao of Self-Confidence (Ep. 133)

Did you grow up wishing you looked different?  Because there was a lack of representation in leadership and in the media.  In this episode with Sheena Yap Chan, we discuss: - Why she is an Asian woman but wanted to have blonde hair and blue eyes, and what was the one small thing that allowed her to change.  - How sometimes you don’t know where we’re going, and why it’s important to keep taking one small action that will lead to a big change overall. - What you can do to create the change you want to see, and build your personal brand.  - Why it’s important to share your struggles because your identities, voices, and unique stories matter.  - How you can create a podcast that has over 1 million downloads and get a paid publishing deal with one of the top 5 publishers in the world.  - How you can let go of toxic narratives that you should be a certain way, and start advocating for yourself and setting healthy boundaries. - How you can be aware of generational trauma and shame, and embrace who you are and forge your own path.  Connect with Sheena at https://www.linkedin.com/in/sheenayapchan/.  Get a copy of Sheen’s Wallstreet Journal Bestselling book “The Tao of Self-Confidence: A Guide to Moving Beyond Trauma and Awakening the Leader Within" at https://www.sheenayapchan.com/thetaoofselfconfidence.
