You Always Have a Choice: Choose How to Show Up In Everyday Moment
Episode 10: How to Shift Your Mindset in Everyday Moments
🎧 Empowered with Immigrant Parents Podcast with Allison Ly
Gotta show up even when its not perfect! Apologies for the grid lines
Feeling stuck doing something you really don’t want to do for yourself or for your parents?
Maybe you are running an annoying errand or have to help your parents with something you don't really want to do.
In this episode, Allison Ly shares how even in those moments, you still have a choice.
She walks through a real-life story (complete with boba, sunshine, and boundaries!) to show how small shifts in your mindset and preparation can completely change how you experience a frustrating day.
This episode is perfect for adults with immigrant parents who feel like they’re always “on,” always giving, and rarely taking time to center their own needs.
Learn how to:
✔ Reframe negative thoughts
✔ Set small, realistic boundaries with yourself
✔ Use thought work to feel more grounded
✔ Make space for yourself—even during life’s errands and responsibilities
You don’t have to wait for life to slow down; you can choose how you show up, even in the chaos.
