These wristbands were a gift from my son, who said they’re reminders for the work I do and the people I support. On difficult days, sometimes the simplest messages are the ones that ground us the most. Sharing this reminder with anyone who needs encouragement today, tomorrow, and in the year ahead whether you’re healing, growing, or simply getting through it 💛

Holidays can bring on so many emotions. Some are celebrating, while others are grieving. Some are navigating major life changes, others may feel lonely or isolated, or simply overwhelmed by expectations. I remember going through a season of my life where I lived far from my loved ones, and how isolating and heavy it felt during the holidays. You may be feeling joy, sadness, anxiety, or even a mix of everything all at once; and it is neither good nor bad.

Here are a few friendly reminders during this season: protecting your mental health is a gift too. Which one hits home the most for you?

“Kuv yog tus tuav lub teeb cim tsim kev” meaning “I hold the light to my own path”. Essentailly, you are the light to your own healing. Sometimes our light becomes dim because we were taught to care for others first, shamed for being too emotional, encouraged to agree passively, to be obedient, and so much more. Some of us learned that it wasn’t safe to let our light shine. When you begin to heal, you slowly allow the light to pour in and start to see what you’ve been yearning for what was once forgotten. You begin the process of unlearning. That part of you holds truth or in Hmong, you might say, “Koj lo lus zoo muaj kuab.”

What are you longing for?

It’s such an honor to be invited as a guest speaker on the Hmong Womxn Thriving Podcast. I want to sincerely thank Ariel for her passion and dedication to uplifting Hmong women during this season. 💛

I truly believe that each of us is guided by our lived experiences we often become what we once needed but didn’t receive.

In this episode, I share my personal story of surviving trauma and what it truly means to walk through resilience and recovery. Healing isn’t linear. There’s so much to unpack, and it takes deep commitment, courage, and compassion to pause, reset, and reevaluate what’s working and what no longer serves us.

🎧 Tune in to listen to my journey of moving from survival to healing, and from lived to thriving.

✨ Healing, Resilience & Community Care — A Conversation with Naree Thao ✨

Naree shares her powerful journey as a first-generation Hmong American woman navigating generational trauma, motherhood, and identity while building culturally-rooted healing spaces for her community. 💛

Through her work, she continues to remind us that healing isn’t linear, it’s layered, communal, and deeply human. 🕊️
