I sit down with confidence coach, author, and advocate Sheena Yap Chan, who has made it her mission to amplify the voices of Asian women worldwide. From navigating cultural silence and identity challenges to finding the courage to speak up and be seen, Sheena’s journey is a testament to the power of healing, visibility, and radical self-love.
Together, we explore what it means to rewrite the narrative for Asian women, how Sheena turned personal pain into purpose, and why representation isn’t just important—it’s transformative. Whether you’re battling limiting beliefs, healing from generational trauma, or seeking to build unshakable confidence, this episode is a must-listen.
In This Episode, We Discuss:
The power of representation and why visibility matters
Overcoming shame and cultural expectations
Building confidence from the inside out
