Shownotes
We all know that things rarely go as planned. But how do you deal with changes that happen unexpectedly, or even when you decide that the road you're on is no longer for you? Besides internally coming to terms with your own change of heart, or maybe realizing that the thing you were pursuing is a mistake, there are many other forces at play - outside opinions, expectations, disappointments, & more. All in all, in can be incredibly overwhelming. In this episode, Minji sits down with her friend Janet Wang, a fellow podcaster from the amazing Asian Boss Girl Podcast, to talk about navigating the twists, turns, hard stops, & false starts that inevitably happen in all of our lives. With Janet's unique career path and evolving sense of self built through different moves and relationships, she shares her insights on how to navigate our turbulence with thoughtfulness and acceptance. Together they share their respective lessons and advice from learning how to truly accept that no one can walk your road except for you, AND that you can connect your wayward dots in a way that's real and fulfilling.

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.
