In this episode of the Life Shift podcast, I sit down with Susan Lieu, a Vietnamese American playwright, performer, and author, who shares her powerful journey of healing and self-discovery after losing her mother at a young age. Through her art, Susan has found a way to process her pain, reclaim her narrative, and inspire others to embrace vulnerability and the power of storytelling.
Susan takes us through her childhood as the daughter of Vietnamese refugees, growing up in a bustling household filled with extended family. She recounts the pivotal moment when, at just 11 years old, her mother tragically passed away due to complications from plastic surgery. This loss not only shattered Susan's world but also led to years of silence and unresolved grief within her family.
The conversation also touches on the broader implications of intergenerational trauma and the expectations placed upon children of immigrants.
Breaking the Silence: A Journey of Healing Through Art
- How Susan found her voice and began to process her grief through solo performance
- The power of storytelling in uncovering family secrets and healing generational trauma
- Navigating cultural expectations and finding the courage to pursue a creative path
Embracing Vulnerability and Authenticity
- The challenges of sharing deeply personal stories on stage and in writing
- How Susan's journey has impacted her relationships with family members
- The ripple effect of vulnerability and its power to inspire others
Redefining Success and Finding Purpose
- Susan's transition from corporate life to full-time artistry
- The importance of setting boundaries and prioritizing self-care
- How becoming a mother has shifted Susan's perspective on her own childhood experiences
As you listen to this episode, consider:
- How have unspoken family stories shaped your own life and relationships?
- In what ways might sharing your own vulnerable experiences help others feel less alone?
- How can you take small, daily steps towards living a more authentic and fulfilling life?
Join us for this inspiring conversation that reminds us of the healing power of storytelling and the beauty of embracing our whole selves – imperfections and all.
Susan Lieu is a multi-hyphenate storyteller, activist, and author. Through her book, podcast, and live performances, Susan takes audiences on a journey of healing intergenerational trauma, embracing authenticity, and finding boldness in vulnerability.
