Her Mother’s Death Was a Family Secret — Until She Broke the Silence

Susan Lieu’s story is anything but ordinary. She’s the daughter of Vietnamese refugees, a truth-seeker, and the author of The Manicurist’s Daughter, a memoir about family, loss, and the impossible beauty standards. In this episode, Susan opens up about losing her mother to a botched surgery at age 11, uncovering the secrets no one wanted to talk about, and how she found strength in the messiness of grief and resilience. It’s raw, authentic, and a conversation you don’t want to miss.Find Susan Lieu:🌟 Get the book: https://www.susanlieu.me/the-manicurists-daughter🌟 Watch the one-woman show: https://susanlieu.vhx.tv/products/140-lbs-how-beauty-killed-my-motherFind Heather and Jake's Help from Heaven:❤️ APOY Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aplaceofyespodcast/❤️ Heather's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathersstraughter/❤️ Jake's Help from Heaven: http://jakeshelpfromheaven.org/ ❤️ Jake's Help from Heaven IG: https://www.instagram.com/jakeshelp/ ❤️ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jakeshelpfromheaven❤️ Our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@APlaceofYesPodcast Learn more about your ad choices.
