Karina Hsieh on Embracing Self-Love and Compassion
I believe we can, and it's like this summit we are always looking at, or at least for myself. It's more that I can feel it fully and let myself process it, grieve and then I can move on.
Ever felt like the world’s noise drowns out your inner peace? In this heartfelt episode of 'A Quest for Well-Being', Valeria Teles chats with Karina Hsieh, the creative mind behind 'Loving Yourself Into Being'. Karina’s poems are not just words on a page; they’re a lifeline for anyone seeking to rediscover their own capacity for love and compassion.
Growing up in Oakland, California, and later studying Psychology at Harvard, Karina's journey took her from Silicon Valley to solo backpacking around the globe, all in search of self-love and inner peace. Her experiences have shaped her into a 'Happiness Engineer', someone who understands the profound impact of nurturing one's own heart. This episode covers a wide range of topics—from the healing power of travel and writing to the daily practices that help maintain emotional balance.
Karina's book serves as a reminder that it’s okay to feel every emotion, whether it’s joy or sorrow. Through her poetry, she invites listeners to connect deeply with themselves, to mute the external chaos, and to tune into their own 'Symphony of Love'. If you’re looking for a gentle nudge toward self-awareness and healing, this conversation is a must-listen.
