  • Episode 11 : Chat with Eryn
    Feb 12 2023

    On this episode I am joined by Eryn, who identifies as a queer transracial adoptee! We talk about the journey of self acceptance, their trip back to China, and adoptee joy. I was so happy to have the chance meet with them and their personality really shines through!

    *In the episode, Eryn mentions that they use she/her pronouns but in the present they are more comfortable using they/them pronouns.

  • Episode 10: Chat with Maya
    Feb 1 2023

    Hey everyone! Thanks for being patient with the hiatus on the show. We are back in this new year!

    On this episode I am joined by Maya, a Chinese adoptee who shares her experiences navigating adoption and big life questions. Her story shows that it is okay to be okay with the unknown and that it is entirely up to you how fast you want to explore things when it comes to identity. I so enjoyed hearing from her and I hope you do too!

  • Episode 9: Chat with Ming
    Nov 20 2022

    On this episode I am joined by Ming, who is a Chinese adoptee currently living in Washington! She shares how her experiences have impacted her views and the ways that she navigates relationships as an adult. We also talk about the importance of boundaries and self advocacy, which always makes my therapist heart happy. 

    It is to be noted that this was recorded back in July 2022 so some of the people she refers to in the episode may be seen as an anecdotal example who may not necessarily still be an active part of her life in the current day. 

    Some fun facts about Ming include:

    • She has traveled to almost all 7 continents
    • She has studied Mandarin for 4 years 
    • She enjoys photography, traveling, hanging with friends, and trying new food
