Asian Upbringing: Learning to Finally Speak Up
from Old Asian Lady Hosted by Sharon Landon
Some moments change you in ways you don’t fully understand until years later. In this video from #OldAsianLady, Michelle Kao shares how discovering her boyfriend’s mother after suicide during her college years shaped her emotional world and her relationships for years to come. Growing up in an environment where feelings weren’t openly discussed, she learned to stay silent and carry her pain alone. It wasn’t until much later, through therapy and self-reflection, that she began to understand how deeply that experience had affected her—and how important it was to finally address it. This is a quiet but powerful conversation about trauma, emotional suppression, and the journey toward healing.
