Joining me on this episode is my guest Shanni Liang. She is a licensed clinical social worker in New York City. She is a proud Asian American trauma therapist that specializes in EMDR and psychoanalysis which helps adolescents and young women with life transitions and overcoming anxiety, depression and attachment issues that hold them back in life.

She teaches women to stop feeling small and start taking up space. In this episode, we discuss:
