From Marketing at Facebook to Becoming a Laughter Yogapreneur

Our relationship with our parents is one of the most important ones of our lives - not only did our parents shape our childhood where many of our values and beliefs were formed and influence us to this day, but it also determines the way we nurture our next generation.

Iris Chen is an author, unschooling mom, deconstructing tiger parent, and founder of the Untigering movement. As an advocate for peaceful parenting and educational freedom for children, her mission is to inspire generational and cultural transformation, especially among Asian communities.

In this bonus episode of Asians Redefining Their Success, Iris and I dive into her new book:"Untigering: Peaceful Parenting for the Deconstructing Tiger Parent", specifically the Redefining Success chapter. We talk about how she went from a homemaker to a self-published author, what’s it like to untiger aka leaving behind coercive parenting to one that’s more gentle and peaceful, and how we can best mend our relationships with our parents by healing our relationships with ourselves first with radical self-love.
