Grab a cup of noodles to go with that soy sauce and sit down with me while I talk about nothing other than life itself. This podcast is all about having open and candid discussions about my journey pertaining to my identity as an adopted Asian American, being a college athlete, my interests and hobbies, and just my current take on the things happening on this blue floating rock we call earth.
SOY Smart Senior Advice
In honor of my first day of 16th grade and my last first day of undergrad, I decided to talk about some important lessons that I've learned throughout this crazy, fun, tiring, and amazing part of my life.  College can be extremely intimidating and everyone's experiences are like snowflakes, no two are the same.  Hopefully, whether you're looking for advice or just don't need any advice but just love the sound of my voice, I hope you enjoy it and have a SOY good weekend!!

What Happens in Vegas...
I'm baackkkk! And also bringing you a super fun podcast to kick start the weekend.  What better way to celebrating one of my best friend's 21st birthday than with a good old-fashioned (covid safe) Vegas girl's trip!!  While the wildness was kept to a minimum we (or rather I) still had some firsts...rip (listen if you wanna know the details).  Tune in to gain a small glimpse into my first trip back to the West Coast that didn't involve a gymnastics meet or anything.  Hopefully you enjoy this very candid episode and I think you might just take something away from it by listening 'til the very end (and I'm not just baiting you) :). Hope ya'll enjoy this poddie and have a SOY good weekend!!xoxo-S

Fresh Off the Big Screen: Insight into Asian Rep in the Media
Hey ya'll!! Happy That's Soy Me Thursday.  In this week's episode, I talk about the often unspoken challenges of the lack of Asian representation in Hollywood.  Finally getting out into the world again as places like movie theaters begin to open their doors is what inspired me to do this podcast.  It's hard to imagine what it would be like growing up and never seeing someone who looked like you on TV.  While this episode does include some tough stats that are incredibly eye-opening, I'm also going to be talking about how Asian representation is evolving and the good that is yet to come!  So sit down, get comfy, grab a cup of noodles to go with that soy sauce, and enjoy!!(also feel free to follow the poddie on insta @tsm.podcast) ;)xoxo-S

Life, Love, School, and Then Sum
Hey ya'll! I'm soy happy you could tune in this week.  When I went to school in Minnesota, some of my closest friends and I would always go around in a circle and talk about everyone's life, love and school.  Since I had no energy to script anything too elaborate, I decided this would be the perfect time to incorporate life, love, school into a podcast.  Overall I just talk about life updates and introduce a new segment at the end called That's Soy Pop Culture where I talk about everything I've lately been consuming in terms of media, so sit back and grab a cup of noodles to go with your soy sauce and hopefully enjoy this lighthearted poddie!

My Adoption Story
Happy That's Soy Me Thursday everyone!! In this very special episode, I'll be discussing all the details about my adoption story starting with the why and talking about everything up thru when my parents and I safely landed in the States together for the first time and our family was complete.  Along the way, I'll get into some tough conversation about a little bit of China's history pertaining to why China had such a huge surplus of girls at the time and what happened to the rest of "The missing daughters of China".  Don't worry though, listen through to the end and you'll be sure to listen to some comedic stories about baby Sarah after meeting my forever family for the very first time.  Hope you enjoy!! <3
