      That invasive Asian mothers' voice in her head. Not hating. I'm talking literal, well studied (Stanford) social psychology. Asian mothers are NOTORIOUS for traumatizing their daughters with all the SHOULDS and MUSTS and YOU'RE NOT GOOD ENOUGHS. I hope this situation somehow gets better over the current and future generations. 🙏 Been subbed to Vanessa for a while now! 🥇🫶👍

      Also I really like the part you said, Eric, about you yourself choosing your difficulties. That was phrased so eloquently and resonated with how I felt about working in a large company. Also the part about becoming your parents - dang this episode hit deep. Wishing you the best with Karat!

      Hey just do the humble computer engineering. I think she got lucky that d Covid…send most ppl onto TH-cam. N gave d huge boost. Also for most guys they cant really show off d like fashion style--to get computer algorizm etc. d TH-cam is saturated now. So a LOT of ppl dont do it cuz they REALLY live thru diff value like they know they can get followers but they feel like the MONEY 💰 is not worth it over time when u have kids/coworkers , friends DADs, yr songs’ male friends will see d --mom with butts out etc. so yeah….its 1 hands “brave” d other hand,,,,not soo good idea . She will make a lot of money at basis of “hey yr MOM,,nice butt” ,,,,comment coming at yr kid many yrs down d road.
      But the ones see THAT Narritive will go for it. But for dudes,,,,,mostly being” creative “ is not enough. Cuz we are all visual. Visual signals travel to brain 0.1 m/second.

    18:51 😅 that Jacket is so UNFIT. There is over sized “style” still fit the small frame vs OVER SIZED just too UNFIT> why why why. Lol.😅 she needs diff “STYLE” cuz that coat 🧥 can fit a football player, cuz they make our head look small. The look she’s looking for its a suit as trench coat show legs. But just that suit JSUT too funnny fit.
