Finding My Voice, My Freedom, and My Truth in Medicine

They told me no over and over. But I kept searching. And I didn’t stop until I found what I knew was possible. Freedom, healing, and truth.

In this episode, I share my story with Bre Wilson, from growing up in China under harsh restrictions to sneaking into libraries to chase a dream, to finally arriving in the U.S. and realizing the fight had only just begun.

You’ll hear how I navigated an abusive marriage, an unforgiving medical system, and the deep, soul-level desire to heal others beyond what conventional models allowed.

I talk about why I chose psychiatry, how I fell in love with Eastern and Western approaches to medicine, and how stem cells became the ultimate integration of everything I believe in.

This deeply personal story is for anyone who knows deep down there’s more. More to life. More to healing. More than what you’re meant for.

I hope my journey reminds you to keep searching. There’s something worth finding on the other side.
