Feeling stuck, unfulfilled, or out of alignment? You're not alone. I'm Denise Chan, mom, therapist-in-training, and daughter of immigrants, navigating the messy middle of life right alongside you. Every other week, I sit down with others who find themselves in the thick of transition. Where the old story doesn't quite fit anymore, but the new one hasn't emerged yet either. Together, we'll explore the weird, uncomfortable, and surprisingly beautiful moments that come with change, transformation, and everything in between.
