Shownotes
Whether it's burnout, tragedy, or just a temporary setback in life, it can feel hard or even impossible to bounce back & carry on. In the middle of chaos or our darkest moments, we can feel tired or lost or just plain helpless. How do you see the light at the end of the tunnel? How to pull yourself up and keep moving forward? In this episode, Minji sits down with her amazing friend, actor & singer-songwriter Megan Lee to talk about finding inner strength & embracing our ability to be RESILIENT beyond what we ever believed. Together they talk through some of their dark moments as professionals, as women, as a family member & as a friend. They discuss how they powered through each moment to finally get to a better place & built upon past experiences. In a global culture that glorifies being "strong" & "powerful", it's good to remember that that can come in all forms - like asking for help, setting clear boundaries, or learning how to care for yourself in quiet moments on a daily basis.

Listen to Inheriting from LAist & NPR
"Inheriting" is a show about Asian American and Pacific Islander families, which explores how one event in history can ripple through generations. In doing so, the show seeks to break apart the AAPI monolith and tell a fuller story of these communities. In each episode, NPR’s Emily Kwong sits down with one family and facilitates deeply emotional conversations between their loved ones, exploring how their most personal, private moments are an integral part of history. Through these stories, we show how the past is personal and how to live with the legacies we’re constantly inheriting.
