Building a shared life that celebrates both your Chinese and Western heritage...
...can be a difficult balance to achieve, especially if you live in a majority Western environment. Even with a supportive partner, the burden often falls on the partner from non-majority background to plan and organize culture related activities (in addition to having a full time career). Without intentional design, the majority American/British/Canadian/Australian side is prioritized by default.
If you’re ready to take the guesswork out of how to build a shared life that equally celebrates both of your cultures, take the first step by enrolling in the program today.
You want to bypass the mental load of having to trial-and-error your way through experiences, and cut through any initial confusion you may have getting started. I'll help you develop a personalized treasury of bicultural activities that serve to strengthen your relationship with joy and clarity.

My Bicultural Heritage Journey:
Hi there and 你好, my name is Linda! I've been exactly where you are. My (American born and raised) partner for 5 1/2 years was wonderfully supportive, and always open to exploring my Chinese heritage with me. But both he and I worked high-intensity jobs, and the end of a long week, it was so much easier to put on a football game, switch on Netflix, drift to the newest craft brewery, or grab a boozy brunch. All wonderful things! But soon a year (then two...then five) go by, and I realized the culture and language I grew up with was beginning to slip away.
I realized that unless we were more intentional about prioritizing Chinese language and culture in our relationship, I wouldn't be able to have kind of rich home and family life I'd envisioned for us (and our future children).
My first (and lifetime!) client is…me. I’ve spent years trial-and-erroring different ways of creating a personalized treasury of bicultural activities that served to strengthen my own relationships. Those years of experience laid the groundwork for my coaching practice today.
Why Work With Me?
I've spent my entire life researching and implementing the most joyful ways of learning, exploring and celebrating Chinese culture while navigating bicultural identities.
Prior to founding Panda Cub Stories, I spent the first 10 years of my career working in the field of US/China Education (first with my alma mater Duke University, and then with Little Panda Mandarin Immersion Preschool and Little Chinese Learners). My graduate research at Cambridge University focused on how to cultivate intergenerational interest in Chinese language through shared hands-on activities (like bookmaking).
My private heritage coaching practice is the culmination of all my experience, and more importantly my love, for exploring and sharing Chinese culture. I can't wait to help you design your own joyful traditions as well.
