INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
What does healing look like when your identity straddles cultures? How do we address mental health in a community taught to stay silent? What if redefining wellness means confronting intergenerational wounds—together?
In this episode, we sit down with Soo Jin Lee and Linda Yoon—two powerhouse mental health advocates, co-authors of Where I Belong: Healing Trauma and Embracing Asian American Identity, and co-founders of @yellowchaircollective.
Together, they share the inspiration behind building culturally responsive spaces for Asian Americans to begin their healing journeys. From the gaps in traditional mental health care to the deeply rooted stigma within immigrant families, they break down how identity, resilience, and community shape the healing process.
Soo Jin Lee is a licensed therapist, Executive Director of Yellow Chair Collective, and co-founder of Entwine Community.
Linda Yoon is the founder of Yellow Chair Collective and a fellow co-founder of Entwine.
Both have been recognized by NPR, PBS, CBS, and more for their groundbreaking work in Asian American mental health.
If you’ve ever felt caught between cultures or questioned your place in the world, this episode is a must-listen.
🎧 Tune in now and begin your path to healing.
