Jess and Melissa sit down with Jessica's long-time naturopathic doctor and spiritual mentor, Dr. Diane Chung, who offers her unique perspective as an ND and educator for wellness, personal growth, and social change. The trio dives into an insightful and heartfelt exploration of the interplay between healing, radical courage, and breaking boundaries that confine us, discussing the nuances of healing and the journey of living an authentic life outside of labels, expectations, and boxes.

Throughout the conversation, Diane shares her personal journey that challenged traditional cultural norms and recounts her struggles in finding balance between her authentic self and meeting  familial expectations. The conversation addresses the challenges of being the "pattern breaker", dealing with "healing fatigue", and the fundamental question - why do we heal at all?  Exploring the nuances of radical courage, the impact of generational trauma, and how to find gentleness, safety, and self-compassion when it all gets hard, Diane offers practical insights on how to navigate the healing process, discover our "personal medicine," and understand the interconnectedness of all aspects of our lives.

Topics Discussed:

• Personal growth and its various facets
• The role of courage in personal and societal transformation
• The holistic perspective of healing
• Breaking away from labels and societal boxes 
• Breaking our parents hearts to live our own path
• Cultivating radical courage (versus confidence)
• The power of mindfulness in breaking old patterns
• Dealing with healing fatigue and the art of discernment
• Discovering your personal medicine
• Aligning life opportunities with personal values
