What if embracing your background can unlock what comes next in your work and life?
In this episode of The Spiritual 9-5, Marie Groover is joined by author, speaker, and coach John Wang to unpack his framework for “Big Asian Energy.”
No matter your identity, your upbringing comes with cultural and familial scripts. 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.
