ep 004 - Might as well make it a movie.
<p>In this episode I talk about how questioning your worth, voice, and safety in visibility isn’t something you arrived at alone; it’s shaped by culture, caretakers, education, media, oppression, and capitalism, so we need context to give ourselves the right care. I share that decolonizing visibility isn’t a destination but a threshold: if being seen in your leadership still feels unsafe, it may signal you haven’t found the right ground for your self-concept. I invite you to audit your relationship with yourself—worthiness, perfection, forgiveness, repair, growth, responsibility—and to break “fear of visibility” into specific stories and memories to contextualize and heal. I also name disappointment and longing to be seen as possible roots, and I encourage daily self-tending as collective, generational work. We left the stars for this — so you might as well make your life a movie.</p><p>We do this specific work in<a href="https://www.drjoeyliu.com/sovereign-story" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> Sovereign Storyteller </a>— a 5-month cohort to decolonize voice & visibility for paradigm-shifting creators & founders. </p><p>Check out more resources on voice & story work at: drjoeyliu.com.</p>

ep. 003 - depth, power, and paradox with giana cerasia
<p>In this episode I talk story with one of the most brilliant minds, hearts, humans I've ever met, Giana Cerasia. Her journey from teaching in the oldest high school in America, to reforming prison education, to building the first virtual school in the state of Connecticut at age 25 is only the first act in her story of troubling systems from within and asking: "What are the most strategic ways I can make sustained, systemic change?" </p><p><br></p><p>Giana's story takes us from the peak of the corporate ladder all the way back to the depths of self -- an intersection of paradox, lineage, and the most powerful choice to return to yourself when you realize: "doing this costs too much". </p><p><br></p><p>Buckle up. This conversation is a full sojourn into what it means to be a human and find the truest places of our power, creativity, and agency. </p><p><br></p><p>Check out Giana's brilliant work here:</p><p>Apprenticeship: https://ravish.life/apprenticeship</p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/giana.cerasia/</p><p><br></p><p>Check out more resources on voice & story work at: <a href="drjoeyliu.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">drjoeyliu.com</a></p>

002 - Love Letters to the Misfits
<p>What if I told you that you could make your body of work a love letter to your people? </p><p>That's what I did - because that's kind of all I know. As a misfit myself, I've always known I'm for the misfits. And as misfits, it's so important that we know how to find each other, stick together, and change our worlds together. </p><p>So my work, my love letters, my bat signal to my kind - it HAS to find it's people. And it always has. </p><p>I break it down for you in this episode and invite you to wonder with me - who needs YOU? What would it mean to them to come across your work as a love letter written with them uniquely in mind?</p><p>If this is shaking up something in you, I made this for you: <a href="https://dr-joey-yung-jun-liu.mykajabi.com/love-letters" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">MAKE YOUR BODY OF WORK LOVE LETTERS TO YOUR PEOPLE.</a></p><p>Check out more resources on voice & story work at: <a href="https://drjoeyliu.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">drjoeyliu.com</a></p>
