Asian Rebel Club Podcast
A podcast every Asian should’ve had growing up, and probably still needs.
A podcast for Asian/Asian diaspora untangling family expectations, cultural guilt, and the myth of perfection.
Hosted by Crystal Ren, who brings her own messy, magical story to the mic, so you don’t have to figure it out alone. This podcast is a mix of honest convos, cultural unlearning, emotional plot twists, and slow rebellion. Each episode helps you unlearn who you were told to be, so you can reclaim who you really are.
New episodes bi-weekly-ish.

Episode 7: When Logic Fails: Asian American Therapist Jessica Lan on Why High Achievers Stay Stuck (1/2)
Why do so many high-achieving Asians feel stuck in careers they don’t love, even when they know it’s not right for them?
In this episode of the Asian Rebel Club podcast, I sit down with licensed therapist Jessica Lan to explore the psychological fears, like uncertainty, guilt, and societal pressure, that keep people frozen in unfulfilling paths.
We dive into the two critical moments when people question their choices (college vs. mid-career), the difference between survival mode and true alignment, and practical steps to untangle what you really want.
Whether you’re burnt out, feeling lost, or just curious about rewriting your definition of success, this conversation offers validation, clarity, and hope.
