Ep - 7 The Unseen Struggles: Growing up in a Culture of Inequality (part 1)
Manage episode 448610894 series 3589655
In this powerful first episode, Cyndi shares her early life story, growing up in a traditional Vietnamese household where cultural norms positioned men as superior and expected women to endure without question. She courageously recounts the deep-seated struggles she faced, confronting the duality of these cultural values and the effects it had on her life.
In this raw conversation, Cyndi reveals the pain of multiple failed marriages, a break from her faith, and the complete despair that eventually pushed her to a breaking point. Through her story, she explores the strength it took to begin challenging long-held beliefs, ultimately creating a path of growth that would change her life forever.
Beyond her personal growth, Cyndi has become an accomplished entrepreneur and is the co-owner of The Cottages Coworking Space (https://www.coworkingcottages.com/), a vibrant workspace designed to support collaboration and connection. In a unique twist, we took the Monomyth Diaries on the road, recording this episode (and the next two!) at The Cottages, where Cyndi’s journey comes full circle in a space that celebrates empowerment and growth.
Tune in to hear how Cyndi’s journey began, the hurdles she faced, and her decision to rise above, inspiring others to redefine their own narratives.
