Healing the Tigress Ep. 3 - Single Teen Mom Overcomes PPD and Finds New Success with Tiffany Cheung
"It takes a village," we're often told about motherhood. But what happens when you're a single teen mom who had to move out of the home she grew up in while pregnant and even your (Asian) church community isolated your parents? Add on top of that the Asian mentality of "saving face" and there's a whole other complex layer that everything is stacked against you going into new motherhood. That is what Tiffany Cheung talks with us about in this episode.
Together, we discuss all the obstacles Tiffany faced when starting off motherhood. Tiffany tells us how she was never told about postpartum depression in any of her OB/GYN visits, and one day a Google search led her to discover that PPD was likely what she had and that she needed help. We talk about how Tiffany realized she had to leave her abusive relationship, how she lived off food stamps while being in school, and how she healed from the depression and turned it into fuel to care for her daughter. We even get to hear how she eventually became immensely successful by founding her own business during the pandemic.
Tiffany is a second-generation Asian American entrepreneur known as The Business Activation Coach, a manifestation expert, published author, and podcast host of the Social Reset Podcast. She is deeply passionate about connecting women of color to their soul gifts, and building a business that is rooted in sharing their magic. Tiffany cares deeply about helping her students break generational curses and alchemizing them into legacies of wealth, abundance and magic.
