I interviewed podcaster Sheena Yap Chan about her career, her work to improve representation of Asian women, and the work behind her hit podcast, The Tao Of Self Confidence.
My name is Sheena Yap Chan and I am a Keynote Speaker, Coach, Author and Podcaster on building self confidence.
I started my podcast to create a strong representation of Asian women and also provide a support system for Asian women especially when dealing with self confidence issues. I wanted to share real life stories of Asian women who have forged their own path, overcome obstacles and thrive.
The name of my podcast is called The Tao Of Self Confidence. I was looking at some titles on Apple Podcasts and many of them started with The Art Of…
I ended up with The Tao because it meant The Way and self confidence was something I wanted to talk about since I knew so many women, especially Asian women, struggled with it. A friend also helped me with the process by getting clear on the purpose of my podcast.
You can find them on all major podcasting platforms such as Apple Podcast, Spotify, Google Play, Audible, iHeartRadio and more.
I interview Asian women about their journey to self confidence.
I am the only host and have interviewed over 700 Asian women on this topic.
I edit them myself
I have a list of questions that I give to every guest. It helps first time guest write down what they would like to talk about.
I used to released 5 episodes a week but since I have over 800 episodes, I have lessened it to once every 2 weeks
Starting was my biggest challenge and my own confidence. I was thinking I wasn’t good enough to create a podcast. I delayed it so many times because I was too afraid to start it. It was one of my friends who just told me to start it without having expectations that gave me the push to launch it and I haven’t look back since.
Dear Asian Americans and Asian Hustle Network.
Social media, newsletter and I also ask my guest to share the episode with their audience.
I offer online products, coaching, speaking and recently co-created a book called Asian Women Who Boss Up
What surprised me the most was reaching 1 million downloads. I never thought I could reach that number.
Just start, make mistakes and figure it out along the way. Don’t wait for everything to be perfect. Also be clear and not clever.
Being able to create the book Asian Women Who Boss Up because there has never been a book that has 16 Asian Women on the front cover. Podcasting has helped me create representation in other forms of media.
