Our Podcast Mission
The Spilling Our Tea podcast is all about amplifying the voices of Asian women—because let’s be real, we’ve been quiet for way too long. We dive into the highs, the lows, and everything in between to normalize those “wait, is it just me?” moments and get real about mental health. We hope you laugh, cry, feel inspired, and find your joy—because honestly, that’s what being human is all about.
Hey, I'm
Sandy Kusano
founder of Joyful Optimist Coaching, where I help people wake up each day feeling more joy, more presence, and fully aligned with the person they were always meant to be. My coaching practice is rooted in the belief that joy is the most powerful currency in life—it’s what fuels us, connects us, and keeps us moving forward.
I created Spilling Our Tea as a passion project that brings me immense joy. This podcast is my way of celebrating and amplifying the voices of incredible Asian women, creating a space where we can laugh, cry, learn, inspire, and connect over the shared experiences of being human.
Because when we lean into joy, everything else falls into place.
