Today's episode is hosted by New York Times bestselling author, and Fresh Face alum, Jamie Ford. Don't worry, Jonathan will be back next week! In Episode 7, Jonathan invited Jamie on to discuss his book "The Many Daughters of Afong Moy," which focused on inherited trauma passed down through seven generations of Chinese women. In today's conversation, Jamie talks with author and activist Jen Soriano about her book "Nervous." "Nervous" explores generational trauma through the historical lens of Jen's Filipino family. The conversation is an interesting blend of the science we've discussed in previous episodes—The Social Gnome & The Anatomy of Anxiety—especially regarding how our health and mental health are directly related to our history. For example, high blood pressure and heart disease can be linked to racism, and in this case, colonialism. Something special for our hardcore listeners!
