Episode Synopsis

Me and Melina, my soul sister and fellow somatic experiencing practitioner, talk about the impact of colonization and how we've unpacked this through our own somatic healing journeys through making sense of our Chinese heritage in a Western culture, having our definition of God taken away from us at an early age, and how we reckon with taking on traditions and practices from other cultures.  Episode Highlights 09:18 - My mom apologies for the generational trauma she passed down to me being critical about my appearance. 11:25 - Racism is very woven into Australian culture. I remember looking back at comments about my own people or other Asian cultures. 28:30 - One of the biggest body violations for me had nothing to do with a physical person. 52:10 - In order to earn love and approval from parents, friends, our church society, we needed to subscribe to the truth that would make us fit in.Join my 3-month program The Art of Relating: The Art of Relating Join my 6-month program Awakening the Wild Woman: Awakening the Wild Woman Get my digital course to regulate your nervous system: Life Is Art Song: Ayla Nereo “Seeds"
