This conversation with Lazou, music artist and podcaster, dives into the nuances of our Asian upbringing and how we can use our unique experiences and life events to carve out our own paths in adulthood. We talk about Lazou’s relationship with her body after her open-heart surgery at age 22 and how body neutrality could be the final destination. We also explore a different, more “Asian way” of transitioning from working in corporate to becoming a creative entrepreneur. This conversation is a breath of fresh air, and I know Lazou’s thoughts and stories will leave you feeling inspired.

I chatted with Wanda, an astrologer and yoga teacher from Northern Philippines, and dived deep into the world of karmic astrology. We explore how your natal chart can reveal karmic lessons, help you understand mother and father wounds, and guide us through our personal healing.

We also talked about Saturn returns ( which I’m in the middle of!) and how astrology can transmute past-life and present-life challenges into personal power. This was a fun, eye-opening conversation for anyone eager to learn how astrology can support your growth and self-discovery.
