We’re back FOA fam!! So glad to be back on the airwaves, kicking off season 4 with a vulnerable and honest conversation with the beautiful and badass queen of the Internet herself- Gina Darling. In this episode, Minji gets to fangirl a bit and also get some insight into how Gina has navigated one helluva life path with her family, unorthodox education, and unconventional career pursuits on her own terms. Brought up in an intensely strict and conservative Vietnamese home, Gina grew up trying to find out who she is apart from all the crazy expectations that so many of us face - how to act, how to dress, what to value, and what is “true” about our personalities and capabilities. Together Minji and Gina break down how their respective circumstances and choices shaped a constant need for external validation, and how they have finally begun to break the cycle in recent years.
