Welcome to this heartfelt episode of our podcast, where we explore the journey of healing and self-discovery through the powerful story of Will Anthony.

Will shares his journey of seeking support and finding the right support system that helped him overcome his struggles. We also explore the impact of societal acceptance on LGBTQ youth and the power of finding a community where one can feel safe and supported.
Will talks about his struggles with mental health, which started at the age of 16 when his dad suggested he take medication for depression. At 18, his world was turned upside down when his dad told him and his twin brother that he and their mom were divorcing. On top of this, Will was coming to terms with being gay, which further added to his feeling of being an outsider. But he shares with us how he took the necessary steps to get himself help, starting from youth and continuing into adulthood.
During our conversation, we discuss statistics from the Trevor Project and preventive factors to help those struggling with mental health issues. We highlight the power of finding a support system that works for you and the role of cultural attitudes towards mental health.

Sunny's Interview on Causepods - with Host, Mathew Passy
three siblings: surviving loss and finding hope
04/25/23 • 33 min
Thank you Causepods and Mathew Passy for hosting Sunny on their show!
"As Sunny Chang and his siblings navigated the complexities of grief and healing, they realized that their experiences were not unique and that there were many people out there who had similar stories to share. They decided to use their platform to amplify these voices and create a safe space for listeners to explore their own traumas and healing journeys.
One of the things that set the Three Siblings Podcast apart is its approach to storytelling. Rather than focusing solely on the events themselves, they delve deeper into the emotions and thought processes that accompany them. This allows them to create a more nuanced and empathetic picture of what it means to deal with trauma and loss.
Through their conversations, they also explore the larger social and cultural forces at play in the way we deal with grief and trauma. They confront the stereotypes and stigmas that often surround these issues and challenge listeners to rethink their own assumptions.
Ultimately, Three Siblings is a testament to the power of vulnerability and the importance of storytelling in the healing process. It offers a space for listeners to connect with others who have gone through similar experiences and to feel less alone in their struggles.
If you’re looking for a podcast that will make you think deeply about the complexities of the human experience, Three Siblings is definitely worth checking out."

this episode is about michele's individual point of view as one of the three siblings. michele begins by sharing a quote, which has taught her how to process grief. seven years after the loss of her parents, michele has gained a more compassionate view of her younger self and the grief she experienced. she reflects on how she was not taught how to grieve properly and instead tried to appear unaffected. her attempt to mask her pain ultimately led her to a place of self-destruction, from which she had to rebuild. the conversation is a reminder of the importance of expressing grief in order to honor the ones we have lost. in the end, michele reflects on the importance of learning to love deeply and cherish every moment, despite the pain of death. she credits her siblings, tina and sunny, for understanding her and not judging her for her past. this has allowed her to appreciate the privilege of having conflict with someone living, as it is a gift in life.

Overcoming the Challenges of Observing Ramadan - with Fahad and Zarin Raza
three siblings: surviving loss and finding hope
05/01/23 • 60 min
Trigger warning: this show discusses sensitive mental health topics.
In this podcast episode, we delve into the topics of the challenges of observing Ramadan and mental health in traditional Asian households with our guests, Fahad and Zarin Raza. As we explore the challenges of observing Ramadan and the impact it can have on mental and physical health, Fahad and Zarin share their personal experiences and insights.
Growing up in traditional Asian households, Fahad and Zarin discuss how mental health was often a taboo topic and not something that was openly discussed. However, they also share how their relationship with mental health has evolved over time and how they have come to understand its importance.
As we focus on the significance of Ramadan, Fahad and Zarin talk about the physical and mental toll that fasting can have. Sunny fasted for three days with Fahad in order to better understand the experience and be able to relate more with Fahad and Zarin. Sunny and Fahad share a fun story about them breaking fast. They ordered way too much food and barely ate any of it. We also discuss the challenges and rewards of abstaining from vices, and compare the experience to other challenging tasks, like the workout regimen, 75 Hard.
Throughout the conversation, we highlight the impact of cultural and generational differences on mental health discussions, particularly within the Asian community. The guests emphasize the value of learning from and celebrating diversity, while also encouraging listeners to find what works for them as individuals.
Don't miss this insightful and thought-provoking discussion on mental health, cultural differences, and the challenges of Ramadan.
Fahad's bio: “Fahad Raza is a second generation immigrant whose parents settled in the US from Pakistan. Fahad was born and raised in Houston, Texas before moving to Austin to pursue his education in Economics and Finance at the University of Texas. He currently works for a tech startup focusing on decarbonizing heavy freight transport. Fahad enjoys traveling the world along with experiencing different cultures and culinary arts with his wife Zarin.”
Zarin's bio: "Zarin Raza is a data integrations manager at a pharmaceutical digital advertising company. Aside from that, she’s an Austin based lifestyle blogger who dedicates promoting local businesses. She was brought up in a first gen Bangladeshi family and is the oldest and first woman in her family to pursue a full undergraduate and masters degree in the U.S. Zarin loves to discuss and understand the differences between different cultures and upbringings with people that she meets which she uses as inspiration in her day to day life with her work and content creation.
