17. How to Rebuild When Your Dreams Fall Apart with Lien Ta

The pandemic has forced many of us to stop - stop going out, stop
seeing friends, stop doing the things that bring us joy. And when
we all stopped eating out, it affected millions of restaurant
workers in America, including restaurateur Lien Ta. Lien had to
close the doors to her first restaurant, Here's Looking at You,
and find new ways to keep her second one afloat. How do you move
forward when the future of what you worked hard for is out of
your control? This episode’s practice is about grappling with
change, grieving expectations, and giving yourself options when
you’re forced to shift course.
