These norms and expectations shape your life path, but they don’t have to limit it. Instead, you can reclaim your agency by identifying your own voice and learning to lead from within.To explore how this works, Marie and John discuss reclaiming relationships, moving through fear, combatting imposter syndrome, and the seven archetypes of Asian American adaptations.John also shares simple, supportive frameworks for telling stories, adding value, doing hard things, building confidence, and work-life balance.If you enjoy this episode, please preorder John’s book at bigasianenergy.com and find him on Instagram @johnwangofficial or Tiktok @johnwangbae.
