Proudly Asian

Happy World Mental Health Day (Oct 10)! We hope you are making taking care of yourself a non-negotiable priority today - which frankly should be an everyday priority. Give yourself some extra TLC, take the time to breathe, put away digital devices and delay replying to messages if no one’s life is at risk just because you’re not replying immediately. Breathe. And take all the time you need.  For this very day, we are talking about burnout again. Because we STILL don’t talk about burnout enough. This episode, Hong Kong-based entrepreneur Mandy Pao joins Isabel to chat about their personal experiences coping with burnout, and how Mandy bounced back stronger and started helping fellow entrepreneurs to overcome burnout.  What are the signs of burnout? How do you identify them? And what are the tangible steps you can take to work your way out of burnout?   Follow Mandy on Instagram: https://instagram.com/themandypao ------------------------------------------------------- Stay Connected with Proudly Asian: Website - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://proudly-asian.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/proudly.asian⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Youtube - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@proudlyasianpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Support us - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/proudlyasian⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Email us - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠proudlyasianpodcast@gmail.com

Season 4 is here! Oral traditions are an important part of the cultural identity of many Southeast Asian countries, but their ephemeral state leaves them vulnerable for future generations. Malaysian artist-researcher duo Ambi Sun and Sha Roose join us to talk about the oracle deck they are creating “Tales & Oracles of Eleven - Mythology from Southeast Asia”. The oracle deck features 44 legends from 11 Southeast Asian countries including Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, East Timor (Timor Leste), and Vietnam. By turning the folktales we grew up hearing from our parents, grandparents, and cultural elders, the duo hopes to ensure these tales are not lost or forgotten over time.  Sun tells us about the biases she has faced as an Asian female artist, while Sha talks about her experience living with Spinal Muscular Atrophy.
