INNER JOURNEY 
Psychology, Inc.

Entrepreneurship can feel isolating, especially for those with marginalized or intersecting identities. Finding a community that understands your story — without needing explanation — can turn exhaustion into courage and loneliness into growth. True belonging doesn’t just support your business; it nurtures individuation — the process of becoming whole, authentic, and aligned with who you truly are.

Intersectionality helps us understand how overlapping identities—such as race, gender, and immigration status—create unique struggles and strengths. For Asian and immigrant communities, these layers shape mental health, belonging, and access to support. Naming our experiences allows us to release self-blame, find community, and begin healing with compassion.

Living under H1B uncertainty takes a heavy toll on mental, physical, and professional well-being. Amid anxiety and fear, resilience is found not in thriving but in simply continuing forward. By practicing self-compassion and focusing on what is within our control, we honor our survival and acknowledge the quiet strength it takes to endure the unknown.
