Reclaiming Identity and Healing from Emotional Trauma with Casey Kang Head

Scenic Route, Social Change and Mental Health Conversations for Perfectionists

What if you could transform the pain of surviving an ordeal into a thriving passion?

Join us as we dive deep into the life of Casey Kang Head, an incredible woman who turned her battle with acute lymphocytic leukaemia into a source of strength, not just for herself but for others battling similar demons. Casey, a three-time cancer survivor, opens up about her journey through the haunting valleys of treatment, the shadowy corners of a stroke, and the frightening precipice of a relapse.

Our conversations take us beyond the realm of physical healing, touching on the often-ignored emotional scars that linger long after the treatments are over. As survivors, we uncover our own experiences, shedding light on the societal pressures that exacerbate the trauma – the expectation to be perpetually grateful, the guilt of survival, and the burden of unprocessed emotions. We navigate the treacherous balance between acknowledging the past and embracing a new identity, a new reality post-trauma.

As the narrative evolves, we delve into self-validation and its role in success and burnout, especially for entrepreneurs. Sharing our external circumstances and focusing on self-worth is at the heart of our discussion. We question the pursuit of external validation and highlight its contribution to entrepreneurial burnout. Offering resources and advice on recognizing and avoiding burnout, we tap into our experiences to guide you on your path. Whether you're navigating survivorship or the challenges of entrepreneurship, we've got some enlightening insights that can pave the way.

Join us for a thought-provoking, heart-warming, and ultimately inspiring discussion with Casey Kang Head.
