In all aspects of her work and life, Tiffany Wen beautifully models the capacity to share our stories with authenticity and vulnerability. As a yoga teacher, as an activist, as a podcast host, as a storyteller. In all of those contexts, she's helping people tap into inner wisdom and actually listen instead of repressing it or ignoring it.
She hosts the Alt-Normal, a podcast centering on diversity as both a beautiful and absolutely critical force for reimagining our future as we work to build a post-pandemic world that's actually worth fighting for.
She's also the co-founder of Resonance, a marketing agency that helps people bring out authentic truths that resonate with others. These inner resonances allow her clients to share their work in a way that truly makes a difference in the lives of the people they serve.
And she's also the author of a wonderful article about how she's curing the cancer she never had through epigenetic science. It explores the ways Tiffany reimagined and deepened her own relationship with her body after a genetic test revealed that she carried a gene that has a very high statistical correlation with breast cancer.
At the beginning of our conversation, Tiffany shared with me that she was having her period. This inner rhythm was understandably impacting her emotionally and physiologically. Past iterations of herself might not have shared that with me. But instead, she chose to share openly because her healing journey taught her to ask the question:
What becomes possible when we listen to our bodies and use that as a way to navigate our lives?
One of the tragic taboos of our male-dominated culture is our discomfort with human bodies; women's bodies in particular. If you're listening, particularly if you’re male-identifying, and you find yourself uncomfortable talking about things related to women's bodies in a way that isn't about objectifying them or sexualizing them - but simply to just be present to who they are and what they're living with - then I hope you stick with this conversation.
