I have long admired Felicia’s incredible work in making this podcast possible. It was such a privilege to be on Talking Taiwan some time ago, where I had the opportunity to discuss mental health issues that are prevalent in our modern society. It was an even more pleasant surprise when a college student reached out to me after hearing that episode and expressed interest in receiving services from me. I never would have imagined that a podcast could lead to a such meaningful connection!
