Ep 104: How Inner Child Work Helps First & Second-Gens Go From Over-Responsibility to Joy

In this episode, Nicole Cruz sits down with Vietnamese American author Tiffany Trieu to talk about her book Inner Child and the healing power of reconnecting with your younger self. Tiffany shares how growing up as the eldest daughter in a refugee household shaped her, how inner child work helped her soften and come home to herself, and what it was like to write and publish her book in just one month.

They explore how play, cultural memory, and language can be tools for healing—especially for first and second-generation communities.

Highlights include:

What the inner child actually is

How to start connecting with yours

Writing a book with imposter syndrome

Why joy and play matter for our healing
