Begin With You - A Vision Board Gathering for Asian Moms

The Usual Way We Start the Year

You probably know this story well:

The year turns. We make promises. New goals. New schedules. New intentions.

But as Asian moms, the math rarely adds up:

✨ Everyone else’s needs > our own

✨ The mental load is never evenly split

✨ We quietly disappear behind the word “strong”

Before long, those January intentions start slipping. Not because we’re lazy. But because we’re missing the real foundation.

So We’re Starting Somewhere Else

Before you set goals, make plans, or put more on your plate... We invite you to pause. And begin with the most defining relationship in your life: The one you have with yourself.

Because that’s what shapes:

• The energy you move through the year with
• The tone you bring to your home
• The way you recover from stress, overwhelm or self-doubts

Most of us were never taught to tend to this relationship.But in 2026, we do it differently.

What to Expect

A gentle 90-minute gathering where we will:

✨ Reflect on the season you’re in — and what it’s asking of you

✨ Explore prompts around self-compassion, clarity, and emotional renewal

✨ Create a vision board — not for your resume or your routines, but for your inner landscape

✨ Sit with other Asian moms in a quiet, restorative circle

Digital or paper — we’ll guide you either way. No productivity hacks. No pressure. Just presence.

Why This Matters

When we begin with self-connection:

Boundaries stop feeling harsh — they become loving

Our presence with others deepens

We feel less like a “bad mom” when we need space

We remember that we matter, too

This isn’t about becoming a better version of you. It’s about remembering the version who never got a voice.

🌀 About The Second Steep

The Second Steep is a space for Asian moms breaking cycles while navigating the intersection of care, career, and culture.

We don’t teach parenting tactics.
We focus on emotional readiness, cultural clarity, and rebuilding a relationship with self — so you can show up more grounded, more whole, and more like you.

This gathering is one of the ways we practice that:
slowly, intentionally, and in community.
