What Death Doula Work Teaches Me About Life
<p>Death is a natural part of life… yet our death-phobic, grief-phobic society rarely acknowledges this fact. </p><p></p><p>We’ll eagerly plan for marriages, births, graduations, and other life milestones… but avoid discussing end of life. This is understandable, as confronting our mortality can feel scary & overwhelming.</p><p></p><p>Yet conversations about end of life can also be meaningful & life-affirming, ensuring that our wishes, needs, and values are honored till the end - and beyond. When we acknowledge the one certainty in life - that our days on earth are finite - we free ourselves to live more presently & authentically in the now.</p><p></p><p>In this episode, I share about my explorations of death work & end-of-life care - from one (mortal) human to another.</p><p></p><p>01:38 What is a death doula?</p><p></p><p>04:51 Exploring end-of-life care & post-death options that align with your values (ex: conventional burial, fire cremation, water cremation, green burial, natural organic reduction)</p><p></p><p>10:40 Why we need to have conversations about end of life (even if it's uncomfortable)</p><p></p><p>13:56 You’re a living legacy: how do you want to be remembered?</p><p></p><p>16:09 End-of-life care is community care; death work belongs to all of us</p><p></p><p>May this episode remind you to live fully & to have important conversations with your people - sooner rather than later.</p><p></p><p>🌿<b> About the Host</b></p><p>Liz Zhou is a neurodivergent therapist of color, coach, & speaker based in Colorado (MA, LPC, she/her).

<p>In this episode, we’re diving into the Asian American experience - going beyond stereotypes, and exploring deeper truths about belonging, identity, and authenticity.</p><p></p><p>For Asian Americans: this episode is here to affirm you & help you make sense of your experiences.</p><p></p><p>For non-Asian folks: this episode is here to educate & inform you, and invite curiosity & connection across communities.</p><p></p><p>Join Asian-American therapists, Liz & Sang, in a mind- & heart-opening conversation on:</p><ul><li>why many Asian Americans feel both “not Asian enough” & “not American enough”</li><li>the multifaceted nature of Asian American experiences (we are not a monolith - our communities include multiracial folks, transracial adoptees, & other intersections of identities)</li><li>the history of the “model minority myth” - which pits minorities against each other & reinforces systems of white supremacy</li><li>the dichotomy of being adjacent to whiteness (through the model minority myth), while also being treated as the “perpetual foreigner”</li><li>why every Asian American has likely heard the question: “where are you REALLY from?” - and why this is an example of a microaggression</li><li>how microaggressions & racism impact the nervous system </li><li>what it means to reclaim identity & connect with self - even when oppressive systems ask us to diminish parts of ourselves in order to fit in</li><li>the importance of solidarity across communities</li></ul><p></p><p>QUOTE: “I think part of the healing work for Asian Americans is to reclaim some of those things that we might have erased for the sake of survival.”</p><p></p><p><b>🌿 About the Guest</b></p><p>Sang Lintakoon (LPC, RPT, she/her) is the firstborn daughter of ethnically Chinese immigrants from Southeast Asia.

The Link Between Creativity & Healing
<p>What if we saw creativity as not just a nice-to-have extra thing, but as an essential part of the human experience & the healing process?</p><p></p><p>We are all creative beings (yes, even if you think you’re “bad at art” or “not creative”). </p><p></p><p>In this episode, I’ll explore the link between creativity and healing.</p><p></p><p>01:48 Creativity can look so many different ways - from picking an outfit for the day to knitting a sweater to singing a song</p><p></p><p>04:33 Creativity is a part of healing - individual & collective</p><p></p><p>06:12 Creativity is a way to connect to Self</p><p></p><p>07:26 Creativity is a shared experience with community</p><p></p><p>08:34 Creativity is a means of pattern disruption, allowing the brain to build neuroplasticity</p><p></p><p>11:24 Creativity is an antidote to toxic perfectionism, challenging capitalistic standards of productivity</p><p></p><p>13:14 Creativity is a means of hope & world-building</p><p></p><p>15:48 How do you experience creativity?</p><p></p><p>The intention of this episode is to encourage you, inform you, and inspire you to be your most creative self.</p><p></p><p>Quote: “When we’re in touch with our creative power, we can say, yeah, there’s a problem in front of us. How do we strategize and organize together - using our creativity, putting our minds & hearts together - to imagine a way forward, envision a different future, and to build a new kind of world together. All of that takes creativity. Creativity is a stepping stone to world-building. It is the ability to look around us, to challenge the parts of the status quo that are not working, and to come up with something different and hopefully better.”<br /></p><p>🌿<b> About the Host</b></p><p>Liz Zhou is a neurodivergent therapist of color, coach, & speaker based in Colorado (MA, LPC, she/her).
