JESSICA NGUYEN, HOST: Today’s podcast is brought to you by Audible. She loves to create and perform whether that is through graphic designing, singing, dancing, or crocheting. She loves heart-to-hearts and dreams of one day opening a coffee shop in Korea where people can come to relax and have thought-provoking and deep conversations. She’s currently a sophomore at Stanford University who thinks she wants to major in Communications and minor in East Asian Studies with a Korean subplan, but she’s still lost and trying to find her calling in life. Joanne Nguyen is an aspiring graphic designer and musician who finds solace in listening to Korean music (mainly R&B, her current obsession being DΞΔN) and watching dramas (currently watching Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo, highly recommend if you’re looking for OTP cuteness). Look forward to an hour’s worth of her words of advice and encouragement as she brings us back to what it’s like for us growing up together and what our relationship is like now in this week’s episode. I am very proud and excited to showcase my best friend and younger sister, Joanne Nguyen, in this episode.
It didn’t occur to me that I could explore this topic until I began reflecting on my relationship with my own sister just a couple weeks ago. Sibling rivalry doesn’t really pertain to only our community but like the topic of parenting, there are still cultural implications that exist and they affect our family dynamics.
