## Resource

Dr. Han — psychologist, TikTok creator, and author of The Hyphenated Life — joins Zach to talk about what it means to navigate multiple marginalized identities at once. They dig into the psychology of immigrant children, queer overachievers, and the mental health toll of living through Trump 2.0. Dr. Han shares how she built a specialized liberation psychology practice, why she took her therapy work to TikTok, and how she's helping clients (and herself) survive an era of shrinking visibility and disappearing DEI. Her new book, The Hyphenated Life: Bridging the In-Between Spaces of Intersectional Identities, is out June 16th.
