"From Ottawa roots to TikTok reels, Leanne keeps it real about the mom life"

In this episode, we dive into the world of Leanne Lee — Chinese Canadian content creator, suburban mom of two, and all-around relatable human. From her early days navigating small-town Canada as the token Asian kid to finding her voice (and community) online, Leanne shares the real, raw, and ridiculous moments that make up modern Asian mom life. We talk identity, raising third-gen kids, Cantonese culture, potty training trauma, and why being proudly in-between cultures is the most powerful place to be. Whether you're a parent, part of the diaspora, or just here for a good laugh — this one's for you.
