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!

Healing the Tigress
Ep. 48 - Eldest Daughters' Talk with Yellow Chair Collective
Last February (2025), we sat down with co-founders Soo-Jin Lee and Linda Yoon of Yellow Chair Collective as guests ourselves for the first time as a duo on the Yellow Chair Collective podcast! We focused on the topic of Eldest Daughters and the traits that typically embody. Linda and Soo Jin were gracious enough to share the podcast recording with us so that we could share it more directly with our listeners too at some point. And that is what today's episode is!
For those of you who are newer to Healing the Tigress and may not have listened to our back story before, this episode will also give you some insights (or refresh your memory if you've been a regular listener!) into how our podcast was born and what postpartum mental health challenges Peggy and Jasmine personally went through that led them here today. We also dive into how our birth order and Asian American Eldest Daughter traits may have contributed to any perinatal mental health disorders and how we eventually learned to get help.
Thank you to Soo Jin and Linda for inviting us as guests for this discussion and letting us be in the guest seats for once!
