Why do so many high-achieving Asians feel stuck in careers they don’t love, even when they know it’s not right for them?

In this episode of the Asian Rebel Club podcast, I sit down with licensed therapist Jessica Lan to explore the psychological fears, like uncertainty, guilt, and societal pressure, that keep people frozen in unfulfilling paths.

We dive into the two critical moments when people question their choices (college vs. mid-career), the difference between survival mode and true alignment, and practical steps to untangle what you really want.

Whether you’re burnt out, feeling lost, or just curious about rewriting your definition of success, this conversation offers validation, clarity, and hope.
