## Resource

In this episode of Asian America: The Ken Fong Podcast , host Ken Fong sits down with multi-talented storyteller, speaker, and former journalist Sneha Villalva to celebrate the release of her debut book, Cut to the Essence: Subtract Overload, Add Clarity, Live Renewed . Modern life systematically bombards us with excess—from overloaded schedules and information fatigue to emotional baggage—ultimately fracturing our focus and pulling us away from our authentic selves . Sneha flips the script on conventional self-help, arguing that true fulfillment isn't found by constantly adding more to our plates, but by intentionally subtracting the noise to uncover what is truly essential.
