Ep. 7: Breaking Free from the Golden Child Expectation | Kunyao Yu

Kunyao is a Chinese-American writer and engineer. After years of checking the boxes of success, she reached peak perfection, dating a perfect-on-paper boyfriend and designing spacecraft from a glass tower in Los Angeles, yet still found herself unhappy and unfulfilled. Driven by curiosity and a need for expansion, she left her job and set off on a nomadic solo journey. Her story is beautifully captured in her essay “Sola,” published in the Practicing Stanford Feminist.
