#11-You Don’t Have to Be Perfect to Feel Worthy

You’re not broken.You’re just caught in a world that keeps asking you to prove you deserve love, rest, joy—anything.This episode is about that quiet, stubborn belief deep down:Am I really allowed to feel worthy?Even when I’m not perfect? Even when I mess up?I’ve often been seen as someone with high self-worth. But the truth is, worthiness isn’t something you “have” or “don’t have”—it’s something we build, slowly, from within.In this conversation, we explore:● Why perfection is a trap● How self-criticism creeps in from external judgment● The difference between inner strength and performative confidence● And how to develop a sense of worthiness that doesn’t rely on approvalThis isn’t about quick hacks. It’s about doing the quiet, honest work of meeting yourself—and deciding you’re already enough.May you walk your path with clarity, face both success and failure with compassion, and know that every step you take is worth it. 00:10 So... what is worthiness, really?03:39 How our inner belief system and external validation are always tugging at each other14:10 When you don’t feel worthy, it’s easy to get trapped in the illusion of being “perfect”15:00 Truth is, the opposite of perfect isn’t failure — our obsession with “perfect” is often just fear in disguise16:23 We mess up out there, and somehow start doubting ourselves in here17:10 That harsh inner voice? Watch it. You have every right to ask for what you need19:06 My “farewell ceremony” wasn’t really about the event — it was about the people who came together24:29 Flashback to my Chaos Academy speech: the moment I took off my heels and finally got real applause29:46 Feeling unworthy? Happens to everyone. Seriously.32:37 About all that talk around getting thinner—do what feels good, aim for health, not just a smaller number34:41 If it makes me happy and I can afford it (in every sense), I deserve it39:20 Wanting approval in a relationship? Totally normal — and often tied to our sense of worth42:50 Talk to yourself kindly. Feel your feelings. And let yourself be human45:32 Go live. Go feel. Every moment is part of your story46:53Take a closer look — especially when it comes to the hard stuff in close relationships49:44 Worthiness vs. being a little too much — how to tell the difference?50:24 See what’s really going on, face it head-on, then do the work to grow from it51:23 The truth might stir the pot, but it also sets people free56:07 Success, failure — they’re just pebbles on the path. Every step still countsBGM: It’ll Be Alright

#10-Living Several Lifetimes in One: My Time Management Philosophy

"What if your calendar could tell the story of your life?I once flipped through a year’s worth of my planner—365 days of scribbles, meetings, and little notes to myself—and it hit me: how I spend my time is exactly how I’m living my life.Your relationship with time is really your relationship with yourself. The way you see your current life shapes how you use each day—and how much control you feel you have over it.So today, I’m sharing my natural-flow approach to time management. No over-engineered systems, no color-coded chaos—just practical ways to reclaim your time and make each moment feel richer."

#09-Turning 40: A Funeral, Love, Desire, and Finding Meaning

January 2025 is a really special month for me — I turned 40. As this milestone approached, I found myself facing again the anxiety I felt at 29. Back then, I was lost, knowing I’d be entering a new phase at 30 but unsure how to do it. Eventually, I decided to start a business. Now, at 40, that same anxiety has returned — but this time, it’s about who I really am. I realize I’m going through a kind of “shedding” process. I’m no longer just thinking about business goals; I truly want to do something meaningful for society.So in this episode, I want to share my recent reflections on life’s purpose, love and desire, even life and death — hoping to bring you some new perspectives and feelings. 00:35 — Approaching 40, anxiety returns;03:43 — Flashback to my lively, dramatic 25th birthday party;06:26 — Gifts from friends pooled together;08:01 — Inspiration from Wuzhen Theatre Festival — planning a “funeral” for my 40th;11:19 — Destiny has reasons, but mastering yourself can raise your fate’s ceiling;13:18 — Why is 40 called the “age of no confusion”?;14:29 — Launching a “personal board meeting” for life;15:57 — Exploring “how to use yourself”;17:50 — Reflecting on my podcast’s original purpose and turning to social value;18:04 — Why social purpose matters;19:36 — Friend Tuobuhua’s poetic description of me;20:25 — The vulnerability of crabs shedding their shells — a necessary growth process;21:53 — How to reduce internal conflict — whoever apologizes grows;22:40 — Growth is about self-awareness, not just learning skills;23:03 — How to get along with yourself;23:57 — Healthy relationships are between two whole individuals, not “finding your other half”;24:42 — Loving someone without expecting anything back — but first loving yourself fully;25:44 — Life driven by two forces: desire and love;26:46 — Desire isn’t negative — it can bear good fruit;28:50 — Facing and distinguishing your love and desire;31:59 — Becoming an independent person;32:36 — Pure love that doesn’t expect reciprocation;34:19 — Experiencing “no-self” in religious practice;36:35 — Being called “Yang Youli” (Always Right Yang) — but no arguing this time;38:16 — Avoid comparing lives — everyone’s journey is unique;39:43 — I’m neither arrogant nor humble — I want to be real;41:38 — The inevitability of “darkness” in human nature — who are we really?;45:10 — From “experience seeker” to “long-term thinker”;48:27 — The beauty of life lies in its finiteness;49:42 — Life’s richness comes from beginnings and endings, ins and outs.
