Episode 7 - Dorcas Cheng-Tonzun

I look forward to introducing you to my friend Dorcas this week on Someday Is Here. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation and especially appreciated how Dorcas opened up about being a recovering perfectionist, depression, and defining belonging while living overseas. Those crucial years living abroad have helped her grow in her understanding of her immigrant parents and find honor in growing up in a shame and honor culture. Dorcas is so kind, humble and Stanford smart. Can’t wait for you to listen and learn this week from her!
