All The Things is for moms who want to reclaim their whole self and live their truest life. We all deserve to live and express ourselves authentically. In order to do that, we‘ve got to know ourselves. This podcast is the examination of just that - all the things that make us who we are. Because the better we understand ourselves, the more good we can do in this world. All The Things will feature interviews, conversations and reflections on topics such as self-identity, motherhood, trauma, healing, community, creativity, art, race, writing, personality tests and so on. I‘m Lisa Chin, host and creator of this podcast, mom, writer and coach and many other things. I believe the world would be a better place if we could each live an inspired life. I can‘t wait to share this journey with you. To learn more about me, visit my blog Lisa For Real at www.lisaforreal.com or find me on Instagram @itslisaforreal.

The Journey In - 1 - Intuition vs. Trauma

Nov 15 2022 24 mins  
I shared an image that reads “Learn to differentiate between the sound of your intuition guiding you and your traumas misleading you.” A friend asked "How do you do that?" This episode is my response. I share some definitions of intuition and trauma and how they can manifest in our decision making. I also share how you can hone in on the ability to differentiate and some simple

Living in extreme times (processing the devastation of Ulvade, Texas )

May 25 2022 6 mins  
When tragedy occurs, we need one another, to process and to heal in order to make the changes necessary to never let it happen again. Thank you communing with me as I share my feelings and thoughts after the school shooting in Ulvade, Texas. About the host Lisa Chin (she/her/hers) believes that knowing ourselves is central to being happy and fulfilled. This podcast is about the

Empathy in unlearning and the pendulation of motherhood

May 09 2022 49 mins  
JoAnna Bennett, the first guest of this season, returns to interview me in this finale episode to close out the season. We speak of how empathy plays a role in unlearning. As mothers of young children, we pontificate how we will raise teenagers. I share another take on how the village supports a mother as well as how I see motherhood pendulating from generation to generation. We w

Flourishing, postpartum mental mood disorders and stories w/ Jessie Colbert

Apr 28 2022 29 mins  
I met Jessie four years ago as an attendee at the first of her annual event called Flourishing, held by her non-profit, Mass PPD Fund. While we didn't get a chance to really speak then, the event left an impression on me. Luckily, we connected afterwards and have stayed in touch. In this conversation, we deviate from our theme of Unlearning so Jessie could share a bit about the

Acceptance, inner child work and healing w/ Jhaynane Sung

Apr 25 2022 64 mins  
Something that really re-affirms the beauty of the Universe is when I can meet someone briefly and have a deep conversation with them. Today's guest, Jhaynane, speaks of some of my favorite things - inner child work, healing and re-parenting ourselves while also parenting our kids. In this episode, we touch on the pendulation of mothering through generations going from one extreme

Creating change, uncertainty, and connection w/ Raphael Pastor

Apr 18 2022 83 mins  
We can meet truly remarkable people in the random-est of places. Today's guest, Raphael Pastor was my make-up artist for my cousin's wedding. Our 20 minute appointment led to this conversation. Raphael speaks about his work as a campaign organizer and shares some insight on how to create real change across the aisle. I ask for his thoughts on how social media can be used in social

Environmental health, inequities, and perfectionism w/ Hannah Gardener

Apr 11 2022 60 mins  
Motherhood is the impetus for a lot of changes in our lives. One common one is to create a healthier home for those little beings entering it. Today's guest, Dr. Hannah Gardener, became more interested in environmental health during her first pregnancy. Since, she has become a healthy home consultant who I have turned to for advisement on purchasing decisions. She runs an amazing

Kindness, caring and impact w/ Nicole Harrison

Apr 04 2022 100 mins  
Everyone has a story to tell and few have the bravery to share it. I reconnected with Nicole, a classmate from elementary school, on Facebook and I learned so much in our short conversation that I had to invite her onto All The Things. This episode departs from the structure of my other episodes. Nicole shares her story mostly uninterrupted as she weaves each piece into one anothe

Race, advocacy and being seen (solo throwback)

Mar 28 2022 35 mins  
Today's episode is a solo throwback of a Facebook Live I shared in July 2020. I was going through my own unlearning of who I am as a Chinese American on many different levels - as a marginalized person, as a perpetuator of oppression and as an advocate/accomplice/ally. It is really fascinating to listen to myself from almost two years ago and to listen to myself now. To see how t

Grief, loss and integration w/ Dr. Joanie Terrizzi

Mar 21 2022 61 mins  
Today's guest, Dr. Joanie Terrizzi shares how we are a grief avoidant culture which is precisely why I knew I wanted to talk about death during this season of unlearning. As much as our culture avoids grief, there is no way to prevent the end of life, and it deserves as much air time as all the other parts of life. You will find that this conversation contains a spaciousness to it.
