Meet Sheena Yap Chan, a remarkable author and podcaster whose mission is to uplift and empower Asian women through self-confidence and leadership. Sheena's journey from experiencing cultural identity struggles after moving from the Philippines to Toronto, to embracing her heritage and launching the influential podcast "The Tao of Self-Confidence," is nothing short of inspiring. With hundreds of interviews to her name, she dismantles stereotypes and amplifies underrepresented voices, culminating in her latest book, "Bridging the Confidence Gap: How Empowered Women Change the World." Discover the transformative power of representation and the critical need for gender parity in leadership roles.
Join the conversation as we tackle the sensitive subjects of mental health and abuse within Asian communities, breaking cultural taboos and addressing intergenerational trauma. Sheena and I explore practical ways to boost self-esteem and combat self-doubt, drawing parallels between mental and physical fitness. We confront the grim realities of domestic violence and societal issues in places like the Philippines, emphasizing the importance of support systems and challenging harmful media portrayals. This episode is a heartfelt call to action to foster empathy, raise awareness, and help victims reclaim their worth and envision a brighter future.
