Explore the path to achieving true joy -- the path of healing ourselves from both an oppressive system and our own traumas. Through this inner work, we pave the way to self-love, purpose, and mastery over our own realities. We find fulfillment from within. What we’ve really been searching for is emotional freedom -- a spiritual awakening -- one that has been within us all along, just beneath the self-doubt, harmful and inherited habits and thoughts, and our ancestral burdens. This podcast is a coming-of-age story of Jaimie and Sunny, two high-achieving Asian American women recovering from burnout. Join us as we embark on a journey to reclaim ourselves and inner power, unpack the meaning of social change and justice at the level of the spirit, and heal our past traumas by exploring our present. When you heal yourself, you heal the world. When you evolve, the world evolves with you.
