Why We are Doing This
From family expectation to workplace struggle. Why creating a space for Asian women to feel seen matters.
A podcast with Flora & Rachel
Rooted in mud.Still blooming.
On the expectations we inherit, and the slow work of moving from surviving to thriving on our own terms.
About
The lotus grows in the mud.
Two Asian American women having the honest conversations we wish we had years ago, on what it is really like to navigate a world that was not built for us.
We talk about what we inherited, what it costs to keep the peace, and what happens when we stop. No advice from on high. Two people working it out loud, and an invitation for you to do the same.
You do not have to earn your place at the table. You are allowed to build one.
