💥 Welcome to Triggered But Curious.
This is where big feelings meet bigger truths.
We unpack the messy stuff—love, family, identity, faith, culture—one trigger at a time.
🪞Who This Is For
For Asians caught between East, West, and big feelings—with no map.
For those navigating love, conflict, and connection across cultures, across generations, across expectations.
For anyone who want to break cycles—not burn bridges.
And for the ones tired of living the emotional roller coaster lifestyle. High today, crushed tomorrow. Love, spiral. Sin, repent. Pray, doubt. Repeat.
(And yes, non-Asians are welcome too 😘 — just know these reflections are steeped in Asian context. If you’re here with curiosity and respect, pull up a chair.)
Here, you’ll find tools that are emotionally mature, spiritually grounded, and culturally fluent— to help you get anchored, spiral less, set boundaries, and repair what matters without losing your faith, yourself (or your people) in the process.
And just so we’re clear:
This space is big on self-awareness and personal responsibility.
Because yes—we talk about family dynamics, generational trauma, church hurt, God hurt, and cultural conditioning. But we also own our part. (Of course we do. We’re Asian. And we’ve read at least one Brené Brown quote.)
No blame-dumping. No bypassing. Just emotionally honest growth, grounded in truth. And if anytime you feel low-key triggered while you’re here—pause. Breathe. That’s why we’re here. To unpack what hits.
And no, I’m not here to be perfect—I’m human. I reserve the right to grow, change my mind, and correct myself—out loud.
If you're searching for a more honest, nuanced, and sturdy way through—without burning it all down—you’re in the right place.
