E8: Sydney Viengluang on navigating Hollywood as a Lao American actor + remembering resilience in maternal lineage
MEET HOL GUEST: Sydney Viengluang
In episode 8 of HOL, Sydney joins Rita for a conversation about her family’s story of escape from Laos to the U.S., growing up as a child of Lao refugees in Wichita, Kansas, her motivation to move to LA to pursue acting and what it was like meeting the Laos Angeles community.
“Sydney has quickly become “one to watch” in the entertainment industry, bringing dynamic, diverse, and powerful female characters to life on screen. This year, Viengluang will continue to star on SYFY’s hit, zombie apocalyptic series “Z Nation,” which debuted its fifth season in October 2018. Viengluang joined the cast during season three and instantly became a fan favorite as Dr. Sun Mei, a biological researcher in search of the zombie virus to save humanity. Aside from her work on “Z Nation,” Viengluang has worked on a handful of high profile television projects, including appearing on “Jane the Virgin,” “Scorpion,” and “Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders.” Viengluang also executive produced and starred in the award-winning short film, “The Letter,” which won the Flicks4Chicks 2016 Short Film Contest Grand Prize for Diversity and Best Drama Award.”

MEET HOL GUEST: NIKITA GUPTA
In episode 9 of HOL, Rita brings on former UCLA supervisor and big sis, Nikita Gupta, for another episode on the #HealingTheHealer series! This episode focuses on “how the healer, heals” by showing how Rita builds deep healing and connected relationships with friends/allies of the Lao community!
Nikita has been practicing and applying resilience-based approaches for over 22 years, utilizing many perspectives including energy management, mindful awareness, yoga movement/breath, coaching, and inspired-learning. She brings a wide field of interest and expertise to my work, including Hatha yoga, Cognitive Reappraisal, Health Behavior Theory, Network Spinal Analysis, art, trauma-informed approaches to healing, meditation, somatic release, dance, and holistic nutrition.
HOL would not be what it is today without the generous and compassionate support Nikita has provided to Rita over the course of her career at UCLA. This episode welcomes you to find the abundance of insights and self-reflection in order to enhance your own personal mode of THRIVING!!!
