In this episode, I interview Sharon Kwon who grew up as a Pastor's kid in a Korean American church. She talks about reconciling with her Korean identity, growing up with strict religious parents, and finding her own faith. Sharon is now a therapist, working with immigrant families and people with religious trauma.
I hope you enjoy hearing our candid and fun conversation as two kindred hearts, about healing from our past as pastor's daughters.
Notable Quotes:
"with therapy, you're getting agency, it's more [about] empowering you, the client, to make these decisions, to take these actions, instead of...waiting for God to make things better".
