Dr. Krysti (Lan Chi) Vo, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s own Medical Director of Telehealth, has been hard at work serving her mission of normalizing mental health through cultivating conversation. While she’s been a staple in the #StopAAPIHate movement and upturned her platforms to consistently amplify Asian voices, she’s also been recording hours of Podcast episodes for a passion project: Wine and Psych (WAP).
WAP takes you through topics across life, love and all things mental health from Dr. Vo’s point of view, a Vietnamese American millennial and psychiatrist, along with special guests weekly. She talks online dating, parenting through a pandemic and even delves into hard-hitting topics like depression, medication and the bamboo ceiling. The Podcast launched on all major platforms in May for #AAPIHeritageMonth with a different AAPI guest voice weekly, like Edgar DeGuia, Global Treasurer of General Mills, and now she’s launching virtually on the Orchid.Exchange platform with an open event August 11th 2021, 8PM EST.
“The Podcast has been so much fun, and I love the listenership we’ve already seen and the engagement of these listeners … but the goal, well, the goal is to really get people talking. The more we talk about mental health, the more we normalize it. Just like no one wakes up a marathon runner, mental fitness takes time and training. When we talk about life’s opportunities and hurdles, we challenge ourselves to open our minds – we’re working out, becoming mentally fit. I’m hoping at the launch we can not only celebrate the early-success of the podcast, but create these conversations that people can take with them and use to reflect on their own mental fitness journey!” Dr. Krysti Vo via Facebook Live.
But she’s not stopping there: Dr. Vo is already in talks with other providers who’d like to join in and plans to continue releasing new and poignant episodes, but is also in talks to branch out to topics of expertise like diversity and inclusion and parenting for Autism Spectrum Disorder.
