Kimberle Lau on Positive Parenting, Breaking the "Bamboo Ceiling", and Breast Cancer

Season 1 Episode 2

Kimberle Lau, mother of 2 and founder of Kimmie’s Healthy Treats, talks about her mental health journey as a Chinese-American parent and clean baking entrepreneur, a professional trying to break the “Bamboo Ceiling”, and her family's battle with breast cancer. We discuss how we parent differently than previous generations, why we feel the stigma of “not burdening others” when it comes to mental and physical health issues, standing up against anti-Asian hate speech and violence, and why Kimberle refuses to let breast cancer define her. Also, we may need one of her plant-based cupcakes after this episode.
