A Journey Shared

It's no secret that diversity is the spice of life, yet only 5% of companies are minority-led, despite making up 15% of the UK's population. Often the only Asian woman in the room at conferences and classrooms, I decided to share insights so that others can glimpse at the world through a different lens. Covering a wide range of subjects such as art, business, mental health and race, A Journey Shared implores listeners to learn with an open mind, whilst aiding in my journey of healing from c-PTSD.New episodes are released every second Wednesday of the month. Naomi Hoang is a Tattoo Artist and founder of NAOHOA Luxury Bespoke Tattoos, with experience in the gaming industry as an Illustrator and Concept Artist.

This episode highlights the struggles and pressures of adhering to multiple, opposing cultures and how lapses in logic - teamed with mob mentality - condenses already difficult challenges, such as racism.

Mentioned:
The Bottom Line: In psychology, the Bottom Line describes the core - if not simplified - belief that is normally formed during childhood, based on their experiences and surroundings. This 'core belief' sticks with us throughout our lives, influencing our actions and decisions. If it's negative, then it can lead to unhealthy or unhelpful behaviour that further perpetuate this belief (e.g., "I'm not good enough"), thus becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy. Unless identified and challenged, negative Bottom Line(s) continue to affect one's life - for better or for worse.

This is explained clearly and with many examples by Dr. Melanie Fennell, in her book, "Overcoming Low Self-Esteem" (contains affiliate link. Proceeds go towards funding the podcast).
