A podcast every Asian should’ve had growing up, and probably still needs.
A podcast for Asian/Asian diaspora untangling family expectations, cultural guilt, and the myth of perfection.
Hosted by Crystal Ren, who brings her own messy, magical story to the mic, so you don’t have to figure it out alone. This podcast is a mix of honest conversations, cultural unlearning, emotional plot twists, and slow rebellion. Each episode helps you break free from cultural pressures so you can finally make decisions that feel right for you.
If you’ve ever felt torn between your own dreams and your family’s expectations, you’ll hear real stories, practical mindset shifts, and tools to navigate cultural guilt without losing connection to your roots. These conversations will give you the tools and courage to start living on your own terms, starting today.
