🎙️Community Voice: Wendy was the definition of a “model Asian daughter.” A violin prodigy. Straight-A student. Accepted into every top university. But underneath the achievements was a girl quietly falling apart.
Her childhood was spent under intense emotional and physical pressure from a mother who beat her for missed notes and told her she was worthless. School was her safe haven. College across the country was her escape plan. And success? Just a ticket to survival.
In this conversation, Wendy shares what happens after you get everything they told you to chase, and still feel hollow. From FIRE-ing (Financial Independence Retire Early) in her early 40s to processing trauma in silence, this is a story about shame, survival, and finally choosing joy… without permission.
We talk about:
– Growing up terrified of your own mom
– Quitting violin—and the “dream”—for good
– Why being mediocre is the ultimate rebellion
– What it’s like to retire early and still not feel free
– The invisible weight of childhood trauma that never really leaves
If you were ever the “easy kid” who lived in quiet pain… this one’s for you.
