What if redefining success means honoring your roots, embracing your authenticity, and creating a legacy that inspires future generations?

In this episode of 'Beyond the Quo,' host Stacey Luces explores the concept of redefining success and creating modern legacies, particularly for immigrants, with guest Lola Small. Lola is a Taiwanese Canadian women's empowerment coach, business owner, bestselling author, and advocate for racial equity. The discussion touches on the blending of cultural heritage, lived experiences, and responsibilities to future generations. Stacey and Lola delve into topics such as the multi-faceted nature of legacy, from generational wealth to mental wellness and multicultural perspectives. They discuss personal experiences, including advocacy, navigating perimenopause, and the importance of core values like self-expression and fun. The episode also highlights the significance of authenticity, vulnerability, and the impact of loneliness in today's connected yet isolating world.
