Healing the Tigress

About Healing the Tigress

A podcast that focuses on conversations & stories around Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) maternal mental health, hosted by Taiwanese American mothers Peggy (LCSW, PMH-C) & Jasmine (PharmD, PMH-C) who are also postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety survivors. Mental health is not talked about enough in our AAPI communities, and we want to break these stigmas especially for mothers and partners. As AAPI healthcare providers who personally struggled during postpartum and are now perinatal mental health certified, we want to see more representation of other AAPI parents who know how important it is to take care of our mental health. We talk with AAPI guests about a variety of themes in mental health and parenting, particularly what that looks like through the lens of our culture within the Western world. There are also discussions with professionals in the field, to help our providers and allies. We're not afraid to talk about the hard things that might seem taboo. We hope this podcast reminds you that you are not alone in your struggles as an AAPI parent!

[Sneak Peek] Re-Evaluating Our Own Screen Habits and Raising This Anxious Generation

Published 15 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] There is no one size fits all, but we do think it is important to have the conversations with our community because this is not an individual problem, but one we have to tackle as a whole with our community. Let's get started. Okay. So, you know, I think in order to talk about how screens and social media impact our kids, we have to kind of start with ourselves, right? And understand, our relationship with these things. So I want to just take it back to like break it down to just, you know, us. And maybe we'll start with like, what was your relationship with screens like in your youth?
