Summary: 
Today I’m jamming with my long-time friend, Christine Chang, a serial entrepreneur based in Los Angeles. Her book "Show Up: Finding Love for Independent Women" has helped professional women all over the world create the relationship of their dreams.
Tune in to hear Christine share her experiences growing up as an Asian American and how she handles comments about her interracial marriage, how she has navigated healing from generational trauma and finding her voice, and the importance of listening to your soul’s desires to figure out how you want to show up in this world.
