Bonus Episode: The Best Lessons of Season One

As Season One of Courage Class comes to a close, I’m reflecting on the collective insights that emerged.

This season explored wellness, leadership, and identity through an Asian and Asian American lens, centering conversations on:

· rest and burnout

· honoring elders while choosing our own path

· culturally attuned mental health care

· developing our voice in community

· creativity and mentorship

Something that kept coming up again and again: honoring our cultural history and evolving beyond survival-based patterns are not mutually exclusive. In fact, meaningful progress requires both.

Thank you to the guests and community members who contributed their voices and lived experiences. This work reinforces the importance of culturally grounded spacesfor reflection, healing, and growth and the impact Courage Class can have.
