“Kuv yog tus tuav lub teeb cim tsim kev” meaning “I hold the light to my own path”. Essentailly, you are the light to your own healing. Sometimes our light becomes dim because we were taught to care for others first, shamed for being too emotional, encouraged to agree passively, to be obedient, and so much more. Some of us learned that it wasn’t safe to let our light shine. When you begin to heal, you slowly allow the light to pour in and start to see what you’ve been yearning for what was once forgotten. You begin the process of unlearning. That part of you holds truth or in Hmong, you might say, “Koj lo lus zoo muaj kuab.”

What are you longing for?

It’s such an honor to be invited as a guest speaker on the Hmong Womxn Thriving Podcast. I want to sincerely thank Ariel for her passion and dedication to uplifting Hmong women during this season. 💛

I truly believe that each of us is guided by our lived experiences we often become what we once needed but didn’t receive.

In this episode, I share my personal story of surviving trauma and what it truly means to walk through resilience and recovery. Healing isn’t linear. There’s so much to unpack, and it takes deep commitment, courage, and compassion to pause, reset, and reevaluate what’s working and what no longer serves us.

🎧 Tune in to listen to my journey of moving from survival to healing, and from lived to thriving.

✨ Healing, Resilience & Community Care — A Conversation with Naree Thao ✨

Naree shares her powerful journey as a first-generation Hmong American woman navigating generational trauma, motherhood, and identity while building culturally-rooted healing spaces for her community. 💛

Progress Over Perfection 🙌🏽

This morning, my 9-year-old shared a powerful reminder:
“I don’t have to be the best at everything. It just takes time and practice to get better.”

We used that moment to talk about his younger brother, who’s nonverbal autistic and still learning to self-feed as he works on his fine and gross motor skills. It was a meaningful conversation about growth, patience, and empathy.

As a perinatal therapist and a parent, I’m often reminded that every child’s journey looks different. And that’s okay.

Development isn't a race; it’s a relationship. ❤️

In our home (and in my work), we prioritize progress over perfection.
Because showing up, growing together, and giving each other grace? That’s what truly matters.

If you're in the early stages of parenting or navigating developmental concerns, you're not alone. Gentle support is available and your journey is valid.
