Episode 36 - Sickle Cell Anemia Awareness with Ylan Hunt

Episode 36 - Sickle Cell Anemia Awareness with Ylan Hunt

Sickle cell Anemia is an inherited red blood cell disorder, it is a genetic condition that is inherited when a child receives two sickle cell genes. It’s reported that about 100K people in the United States have sickle cell, with 90% of that population from African descent. However this disease also affects people of Hispanic, South Asian, Southern European, and Middle Eastern ancestry. Unfortunately there is very little information about this painful and life threatening disease that majority affects minorities.

We are so honored to have Ylan Hunt join us today to spread awareness for this disease. She has suffered from this her entire life, and we get a first hand account of what is like to live with this condition, how discrimination and stereotyping prevent patients from getting proper treatment, and how a holistic treatment approach might better manage symptoms.

Episode 33 - Learning self awareness through the lens of Vedanta with Mitadru Dey

Episode 33 - Learning self awareness through the lens of Vedanta with Mitadru Dey

Growing up in India, Mitadru Dey was never interested in spirituality. It was only when he came to the United States, he started noticing how unhappy people seemed in their day to day lives. In his own pursuit of happiness, as well as constantly looking for ways to be more productive in his day to day life, he found the practice of Vedanta.

Vedanta is one of the world’s most ancient spiritual philosophies and one of its broadest, based on the Vedas, the sacred scriptures of India. It is the philosophical foundation of Hinduism; but while Hinduism includes aspects of Indian culture, Vedanta is universal in its application and is equally relevant to all countries, all cultures, and all religious backgrounds.

Vedanta affirms:

  • The oneness of existence,
  • The divinity of the soul, and
  • The harmony of all religions.

(Taken from https://vedanta.org/what-is-vedanta/)

Vedanta helps you attain:

  • Peace of Mind
  • Efficiency and Concentration
  • Clarity in Thinking
  • Stress-free Relationships
  • Realization of Life’s Purpose

(Taken from https://www.vedantausa.org/)

Episode 31 - My journey with depression with Yan

Episode 31 - My journey with depression with Yan

Depression is a lonely illness, even when you are surrounded by ones who love you.

Depression is a self imposed isolation. It’s like you are screaming in your mind, but your lips have been sewn together with invisible threads.

Depression is living in darkness even when you are surrounded by light.

I have dealt with depression most of my life. I have high functioning depression, which means I can still do everything that’s needed with a smile on my face, but inside I am slowly dying.

In this episode Evonne and I discuss my life long journey with depression. This was a difficult episode to record, filled with real emotions. I apologize if at times I sound like I’m slurring my words (I was!). It’s hard to open up about depression, but I am doing so for two reasons. One, by speaking up, I am taking my power back. And two, I am sharing my experience  in hopes of inspiring others to speak out about their own depression, in doing so, also taking back their power.

I am forever grateful for having the support of my husband, who is always gentle yet firm in dealing with my depression, but always do so with loving understanding. As well as for my cohost Evonne, and all my friends who reached out to me, even if I didn't want to share in detail, your support meant the world to me and was an integral part of my recovery journey.

Episode 28 - #enoughisenough

There has been a surge in violence against the Asian American community since the beginning of COVID. Recently there has been another spike in violence, specifically targeted towards elderly Asian Americans in New York and San Francisco Chinatowns.

As members of the Asian American community this topic hits close to hearts for both Evonne and I. In today’s episode we discuss our feelings toward the current violence and hate against Asian Americans.

This is a very real conversation as you can see how this has affected both of our mindsets. Evonne is on a path of hope and action, while I have been plagued by depression and is in a place of fear and anger. While I don’t enjoy being angry or sharing my anger publicly, we both felt it was important to show both sides of the coin. But don’t worry, I am working hard on myself and my attitude. I will be back to my old action-minded-self again once I get myself out of this f***ing depression.

Hi Everyone! Since it's the spooky month of October, Evonne and I decided to do something different and share our passion of true crime and mysteries. In the entire month of October, we will be sharing a story per week covering either true crime or a mystery. 

Since this is a huge departure from our normal content, we would love feedback on your thoughts. We are only planning on doing these type of stories in the spooky month of October. But please let us know if you enjoy this type of content, we are happy to sprinkle in more stories like these throughout our podcast. 

In today's episode, I am covering the disappearance case of Johnny Gosch. This is a famous case from 1982 that is still unsolved. This case involves child kidnapping, child sex trafficking, and exposes corruption within law enforcement. Being a mother of two young girls, I am passionate about sharing the dangers of human and sex trafficking.
