About this listen
What if failure wasn’t the end—but the start of becoming who you really are?
In Part 1 of this soul-stirring episode of #OldAsianLady, we sit down with Sophie Lee, a young Taiwanese entrepreneur whose story is anything but conventional. From dropping out of Taiwan’s rigid education system to rebuilding her confidence in the U.S., Sophie’s journey is a masterclass in self-discovery, cultural dissonance, and fierce independence.
Sophie opens up about:
- Feeling lost in Taiwan's traditional school system
- Moving to Seattle, freedom, learning how to survive and thrive
- Reclaiming her identity and building confidence abroad
- Returning to Taiwan and fitting back in
Whether you’ve ever struggled with not fitting in, wrestled with family expectations, or wondered how far you’d go for a chance at freedom—Sophie’s story is a reminder that sometimes, breaking the rules is the first step to rewriting your own.
