Stress Less For Greater Success

In this episode of the Stress Less For Greater Success podcast, host Coco Duan delves into parental, societal, and cultural expectations that shape the lives of many Asian women leaders. This episode focused on the first two expectations: 1. the pressure to achieve high academic success, 2. the tendency to receive more criticism than recognition. Coco shares a personal story that many can relate to, highlighting how these expectations have shaped her identity and the way she measures self-worth. She discusses the emotional and mental toll these beliefs can take, driving unhealthy behavior patterns like overachievement and fragile self-confidence.

Tune in to learn how becoming aware of these expectations is the first step toward breaking free from them and living a more balanced, fulfilling life. Coco will also guide you on how to start shifting from autopilot to conscious choice, empowering you to redefine success on your own terms.
