Last February (2025), we sat down with co-founders Soo-Jin Lee and Linda Yoon of Yellow Chair Collective as guests ourselves for the first time as a duo on the Yellow Chair Collective podcast! We focused on the topic of Eldest Daughters and the traits that typically embody. Linda and Soo Jin were gracious enough to share the podcast recording with us so that we could share it more directly with our listeners too at some point. And that is what today's episode is!

For those of you who are newer to Healing the Tigress and may not have listened to our back story before, this episode will also give you some insights (or refresh your memory if you've been a regular listener!) into how our podcast was born and what postpartum mental health challenges Peggy and Jasmine personally went through that led them here today. We also dive into how our birth order and Asian American Eldest Daughter traits may have contributed to any perinatal mental health disorders and how we eventually learned to get help.

Thank you to Soo Jin and Linda for inviting us as guests for this discussion and letting us be in the guest seats for once!

[Note: Originally published September 2025] In this bonus episode, we are diving into all the cycle-breaking themes and mental health lessons from the record-breaking summer blockbuster – K-Pop Demon Hunters! We know there have been lots of breakdowns and analyses of the movie, but as Asian American moms and women who have passion in working with mental health, we really wanted to nerd out over what we gleaned from this movie. (And if you know how hard we nerd out over mental health stuff, we think you'll like this episode. 😉)

Jasmine shares how she got Netflix just to watch the movie (after an 8 year hiatus!) and what her daughter surprisingly picked up from the movie. We also talk about how to talk about how to bring up some of these things to younger kids. Peggy talks about some lessons she has gone over with her clients and actually how some of the themes are pertinent to perinatal mental health disorders! Join us for an AAPI-mom analysis of the movie in the lens of parenting and perinatal mental health!

***Please be aware that if you haven't watched the movie, there will be spoilers on what happens in the movie.***

For the final episode of the year, we have the pleasure of talking to another reproductive psychiatrist on the show! (Check out Episode 17 if you want more details on debunking myths for perinatal psychiatric medications). In this episode, we talk with Dr. Kristin Yeung Lasseter, a Board-Certified Psychiatrist based in Texas who specializes in Reproductive Psychiatry and Women’s Mental Health.

Dr. Lasseter opens up to us about her experience with postpartum anxiety after the birth of her first child while being a second year medical resident. We discuss what ultimately led to her decision to start medications and how she recovered. We also talk about medications and treatment for postpartum anxiety and insomnia and considerations during breastfeeding. Most importantly, Dr. Lasseter again emphasizes the risks versus benefits of using medications compared with the risk of untreated mental illness.

Dr. Lasseter is the Founder and President of Reproductive Psychiatry and Counseling, which hosts multiple psychiatrists and psychotherapists specializing in mental health across the reproductive life span, and treats people across the state of Texas. Dr. Lasseter is also Affiliate Faculty at The University of Texas Dell Medical School, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and is a board member of the International Society of Reproductive Psychiatry. She volunteers time at Postpartum Support International’s Psychiatric Consult Line and raises awareness about reproductive mental health through speaking engagements and social media.
