***Apologies for the dodgy audio this week. I've discovered that my laptop doesn't have enough processors (?) to manage audio on Riverside, so I had to use backup audio that isn't super great! I'm upgrading this week.***
This week, I speak with the amazing YUMIKO KADOTA, author of the memoir Emotional Female (A brilliant young surgeon's journey through ambition and dedication to exploitation and burnout).
Yumiko and I discuss what happens when the drive to succeed academically and professionally turns out not only be detrimental to your health, but also the very opposite of what actually makes you happy. We also talk about the stereotypes Yumiko has faced as an Asian woman, adult life diagnoses of neurodivergence (Yumiko has AudHD - autism and ADHD) and the need to be specific with language to avoid diluting the meaning of words entirely.
As announced last week, I'm also following up each midweek episode with a weekend special featuring me giving my guests a Tarot reading! Tune in on Saturday (and subscribe so you never miss an episode) to hear me go deep with Yumiko. The reading will be particularly of interest to anyone who has spent their life masking in some way and is finally ready to break free.
