Summary
We all experience societal and cultural programming throughout our lives. From children, we’re taught how to belong and who we need to be to fit in.
The panel of coaches I have on the podcast today know about this struggle well.
Listen in today to hear from five Asian life coaches about what it was like to overcome the challenges created by their cultural programming. We dive into the immigrant experience, language barriers, name pronunciation, and how to create a sense of belonging.

| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the Life Coach School Podcast with Brookestio episode number 411. |
| 0:06.8 | Welcome to the Life Coach School Podcast, where it's all about real clients, real problems, and real coaching. |
| 0:16.0 | And now your host, Master Coach Instructor, Brookestio. |
| 0:20.8 | Oh my gosh, we're all a little bit nervous today. It's a very big day. |
| 0:26.1 | I'm not nervous, but so my guests are nervous today. We are going to talk about so many cool things. |
| 0:33.7 | We are going to talk about how to overcome what you have been taught in your childhood, |
| 0:40.5 | through your socialization, through maybe cultural programming, through all of it. |

| 0:53.2 | Everyone on here is a certified coach, yes? Yes. Just confirming. Yeah, everyone's a certified coach. |

| 1:03.6 | Our group represents LCS certified coaches identifying as Asian. We're so appreciative of the inclusive approach |
| 1:10.0 | that LCS has taken to diversity, promoting, and celebrating differences as coaches show up to serve their communities. |
| 1:15.6 | Featuring Asian coaches on your podcast would inspire listeners, whether or not they identify as Asian to become scholars |

| 1:34.6 | And that the emails goes on and it's great. And one of the things that says, |
| 1:37.5 | if we believe our Asian cultural and patriarchal programming can only be addressed by giving our clients |
| 1:42.8 | a safe space to be heard and permission to trust themselves. And so we're going to talk about it. |
| 1:49.3 | Like I have a panel of Asian coaches. We're going to talk about it from their perspective. |
| 1:54.6 | But one of the things that I've learned so much over the past couple of years is how we all have |
| 2:00.8 | very different programming based on our cultures, based on who raised us. |
