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!

This episode is only available to subscribers.
Healing the Tigress Bonus Episodes
Exclusive access to bonus episodes!We started off Season 2 announcing that Peggy had decided to leave her health tech job to go back into practicing therapy, specifically as a perinatal mental health therapist after getting her PMH-C! There was a learning curve in starting her own private practice, but it didn't take too long for Peggy to fill her schedule.
We thought it might be helpful to share some of her learnings with those who might also be considering a path of starting their own practice or even in general considering pursuing working for themselves, so this episode will go into Peggy's journey and experience over the past year.
We talk about:
- Why she decided to go back into practicing therapy
- What were the first things to set up and third parties to consider
- Pros and cons of accepting insurance
- Considering working for a group practice
- Benefits of extra certifications, like PMH-C
- How she was able to get client referrals organically
- The transition from working for corporate to working for herself
- What the turnover of clients is like
- Reflections and learnings on the journey
Hope this episode helps someone out there with their journey or provides some insight on the process!
