In this deeply personal episode, I share my 2025 healing testimony — a year of surrender, full circle moments, cultural reconciliation, and learning that consistency beats perfection every time. As a Christian psychiatrist, immigrant, oldest daughter, and recovering hyper-responsible high achiever… this year forced me to confront old wounds, release control, and rediscover my superpower:

👉 Finding the balance between caring for others and caring for myself — without carrying everyone on my back. In this episode, I share:

• The immigrant/oldest daughter wounds I finally faced

• How the RPC Method helped me reconcile with my family & culture

• Speaking at Mustard Seed Generation & Health Leaders of San Antonio

• The surprising healing moment… of making kimchi for the first time

• How chronic stress showed up in my body (insulin resistance, irritability)

• Why “showing up today is good enough” changed everything

• Why I’m giving away my workshops + first course module for FREE This isn’t just an episode — it’s a testament to what God can do when we surrender.
