Summary

Change can be hard and scary -- the uncertainty, the letting go of security, the need to trust in the act of trying. In this episode, Christine and Asha talk about and share Christine’s interview with actor Dr. Ken Jeong (of The Hangover and Dr. Ken fame) about making leaps. In this candid interview, Jeong shares about leaving medicine for acting, dealing with fear of failure and other people’s expectations, letting go of control, how his experience has impacted his parenting, and why his wife was the missing link and the catalyst for his success. Edit Your Life is an award-winning podcast that shares practical ideas for decluttering your home, schedule, and mental space without getting bogged down by perfection.
