À propos de ce contenu audio

Courage Class brings AANHPI voices to the center of health and wellness. Dr. Lindsay Kwock Hu interviews cultural trailblazers and creatives to explore identity, healing, cultural expectations and emotional well-being. We name the realities mainstream wellness ignores—like the tension of living between cultures—and create space for honest conversations about identity, healing, and success. Together, we’re building a new narrative of wellness, sharing stories, tools, and conversations that reflect who we are – not who we’re told to be.Dr. Lindsay Kwock Hu Développement personnel Réussite personnelle

    • Second Spring: Reclaiming Menopause and Perimenopause
      Oct 13 2025

      Episode Summary

      What if menopause isn’t an ending—but a second beginning?


      In this powerful conversation, Dr. Tamsin Lee guides us through the foundational principles of East Asian Medicine, showing how concepts like yin and yang can transform the way we experience midlife, aging, and womanhood.


      We talk about how Western medicine tries to ‘fix’ menopause, while East Asian Medicine sees it as a natural evolution—an opportunity for recalibration, reflection, and growth. From decolonizing our beliefs about aging to practical daily rituals that align with the seasons, this episode is both grounding and deeply liberating.


      Tamsin also reminds us that rest and rejuvenation are not the same—and that true healing starts when we listen to our own body’s messages instead of chasing external prescriptions.


      Whether you’re entering perimenopause, post-menopause, or simply navigating midlife transformation, this conversation will leave you with language, tools, and hope.

      Oct 7 2025

      About the Episode:

      In this deeply personal episode, Lindsay sits down with her husband Mike to talk about something that’s often overlooked in ambitious careers: rest.


      Mike shares his journey from UCLA to management consulting, to London Business School, and eventually to a leadership role in real estate private equity—before making the courageous decision to step away for a six-month sabbatical.


      Together, they explore how cultural expectations, family responsibilities, and relentless work habits shaped his views on success—and why choosing to pause became one ofthe bravest decisions of his life.


      What You’ll Learn in this Episode:

      · Why high achievers struggle with the idea of rest—and why it’s not a lack of ambition.

      · How the regret minimization framework (from Jeff Bezos) helped Mike decide to take a sabbatical.

      · The cultural influences (Asian, Western, corporate) that make rest feel like weakness—and how to reframe it.

      · What surprised Mike most about stepping away from work for the first time in decades.

      · Why redefining success means balancing ambition with family, health, and joy.
