概要

 Courage Class brings Asian American voices to the center of health and wellness. Dr. Lindsay Kwock Hu interviews cultural trailblazers and creatives to explore identity, healing, cultural expectations and emotional well-being. We name the realities mainstream wellness ignores - like the tension of living between cultures - and create space for honest conversations about identity, healing, and success. Together, we’re building a new narrative of wellness, sharing stories, tools, and conversations that reflect who we are – not who we’re told to be.Dr. Lindsay Kwock Hu 個人的成功 自己啓発

    About Dr. Komal Shah Kapoor

    Dr. Komal Shah Kapoor is a social impact serial entrepreneur, researcher, writer, and founder whose work sits at the intersection of culture, wellness, and human connection.

    Her journey into wellness began not in a studio, but through research and lived experience. At SpaFinder, she co-authored the first Global Spa Economy Report with SRI International - foundational work that helped shape what is now the Global Wellness Institute. She also published the India Spa Trends Report, blending data with cultural insight and earning recognition in global publications including Forbes Traveler.

    Driven by a deep curiosity about identity and belonging, she founded Cook Aunty in New York City - well ahead of its time.Inspired by her doctoral research, the platform celebrated a powerful truth: for many immigrants, food is the last thread of cultural identity to go.

    Today, she is the founder of SpeakerPost, a platform that connects industry professionals with classrooms around the world, expanding access, representation, and possibility for students everywhere.

    She is also the voice behind Green Sea Shells, a digital publication rooted in the belief that the most sacred forms of wellness are the quietest ones - found in culture, storytelling, rituals, and connection.

    Dr. Kapoor’s work is grounded in a simple philosophy: wellness is not something we chase - it’s something we remember.

    2026/03/02

    Episode Overview:

    In this episode of Courage Class, I sit down with leadership coach and Big Asian Energy author John Wang to unpack the internal pressures many Asian American professionals face in the workplace - from perfectionism and people-pleasing to staying quiet in meetings and overworking to prove worth.

    We explore why leadership isn’t about becoming louder or more aggressive, but about unlearning the belief that youhave to shrink to belong.

    John breaks down the 7 adaptive leadership patterns that may be shaping your career - including the Achiever, Fixer, Chameleon, Invisible One, Rebel, and Commander - and explains how these so-called “weaknesses” can become strengths when driven by confidence instead of fear.

    We also cover:

    • How to speak up in meetings without feeling inauthentic
    • Why your idea doesn’t need to be a “10” to be valuable
    • How to set boundaries at work using practicalscripts
    • Why confidence starts with assuming youbelong
    • The difference between assimilation andintegration in leadership

    If you’ve ever struggled with imposter syndrome, perfectionism, burnout, or feeling pressure to assimilate into Western leadership norms, this conversation will help you rethink your leadership style - and step into it with courage.

    Because if you’re in the room, you already belong.
