Healing the Tigress
A podcast that focuses on conversations & stories around Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) maternal mental health, hosted by Taiwanese American mothers Peggy (LCSW, PMH-C) & Jasmine (PharmD, PMH-C) who are also postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety survivors.
Mental health is not talked about enough in our AAPI communities, and we want to break these stigmas especially for mothers and partners. As AAPI healthcare providers who personally struggled during postpartum and are now perinatal mental health certified, we want to see more representation of other AAPI parents who know how important it is to take care of our mental health.
We talk with AAPI guests about a variety of themes in mental health and parenting, particularly what that looks like through the lens of our culture within the Western world. There are also discussions with professionals in the field, to help our providers and allies. We're not afraid to talk about the hard things that might seem taboo. We hope this podcast reminds you that you are not alone in your struggles as an AAPI parent!

Ep. 22 - Kicking off Season Two: Big Announcements and Surprises!
We are baaack!! We can't believe we're in a second season of Healing the Tigress and we truly have you, the listeners, to thank!
In this opening episode for the season, Jasmine and Peggy catch everyone up with what Peggy has been up to over the summer break--including passing her own PMH-C (perinatal mental health certification) test. So now, we have TWO PMH-C clinicians co-hosting this podcast! And the bigger news to share is that Peggy decided to start pursuing private practice as a therapist again, specifically as a perinatal mental health therapist!
We talk about what sparked the big career shift for Peggy back into therapy. We also reflect on the last season as well as tease what's to come in this next season!
Last but not least, we share our hopes for how Healing the Tigress will grow, AND we announced our Patreon!
A few supporters had asked us to create one in efforts to support us more. So we came up with ways we could put together this Patreon to give back even more to our wonderful listeners and build a community of healing AAPI parents. Inside the Patreon, we'll have ways you can help shape Healing the Tigress and join a community. There will also be other bonuses like extra exclusive episodes in the future or episode sneak peeks. Check it out below!
