  • Résumé

  • A podcast for Asians and Asian Americans in America. Did you eat yet is synonymous with love and care. Growing up, my parents have always shown love and care to me by asking me that question and no matter if we were mad/sad/irritated at each other, it always comes back with making sure that I was not hungry. Food brings us all together universally and specifically in Asian culture. Quite literally we all come together but at a table and we share something that is crafted with time and effort with love and care. Even in our food we have a sense of together-ness when spices/flavors are incorporated in the food itself. That together-ness is important in a family because much like how amazing food can taste when you add in flavor, having a good bond with family/loved ones can help with having a healthier relationship with your parents and also yourself. There are lots of struggles as Asians living in America: the identity crisis of if you’re really an American in the eyes of an American to if you’re an Asian according to other Asians; balancing between your roots vs western culture; the challenges of embracing your culture(when we were younger), etc. While maneuvering through all of these hurdles, there’s also a challenge with our immigrant parents: the language barriers, the confliction of living life, etc. For some of us it might even feel like we’ve been doing this on our own as our immigrant parent(s) might not have spoken English so you had to do everything by yourself. Or you might be the one that is just coming over to America and are also figuring shit out yourself alone. It seems like sometimes no matter how many friends/people are around you that say they have your back, it can still feel isolating because the struggles that you faced might not resonate with anyone around you. In this podcast for season 1 we have food related title episodes that fit the theme of an issue that we all might’ve faced growing up. Throughout the series we will talk about the trauma, emotions that we felt, and the reflection of where we are with that situation today. We will start off with very heavy and deep topics but gradually get to lighter topics to mimic and reflect what could feel like real time emotions as you relive our childhood. As each episode becomes lighter, we will juxtapose the harsh things we might’ve felt and twist that to be more in understanding of why we think things happen the way they did. Nobody is perfect but when you’re family, we want to make sure that at the end of the day, you’re not going to bed hungry. So… did you eat yet?

    Candy Jar
    Mar 1 2025

    Have you ever tried to reach for that jar of candies/cookies in your pantry even though your parents told you not to? I haven't but I've always seen that in movies but figuratively I have. To me I've always found it hard to listen to my parents and I wonder why I feel so obligated to have such independence from them. When they tell me that I can't do something but even though I feel like what I'm doing is the right thing for me. Now that I'm away from them I can do all the things that I want but somehow it feels weird to have all this freedom and do what I please. In this episode, it's just me, myself, and I just speaking out loud on how I still feel like I want to be dependent despite me being my own adult. We face trails and tribulations in our lives, we at the end of the day want you to not sleep on an empty stomach so... did you eat yet?

    Kitchen’s Best practice
    Feb 16 2025

    The chef knows what's best... or do they? Not in this case because the sous chefs (us) might know a little more than what our parents do, especially when we're a little older and are progressing into our adulthood. Kitchen's Best Practice is an analogy that our parents always know what's best and for us at their kids to follow what they say but times have changed and we as the younger generation knows what is really happening in this world. We are grateful that our parents have led us to the place we are today but it's time they have more confidence in us. In this episode I am once again accompanied by my amazing sister, and we talk about what happens in our life and we hope that we aren't the only ones that share this sentiment!

    Dining Room
    Feb 1 2025

    Welcome to the dining room! A place where I invite you to come eat and feel safe. To me the dining room was never a place to show vulnerability but more so about business of what I needed to do and/or to discuss what I've done well. Accompanied by my friend and my sister they do their best to help me come to realization that I am not over things (no news there). Find out more about the conversations that I have with these two as I unpack more about why I am how I am. I still feel burdened and it's difficult to navigate through these feelings.
