Faith & Feels by Rika Lopez

Episode notes

In this Part 1 episode, I sit down with Sam Louie, a psychotherapist, motivational speaker, author, and spoken word poet, who shares his journey as a first-generation Chinese American navigating cultural identity, internalized racism, and addiction. Sam opens up about his struggles with pornography addiction, navigating the challenges of divorce, the impact of family dynamics, and the transformative power of therapy and community support. We discuss his transition from journalism to becoming a certified sex addiction therapist, the role of faith in healing, and how group therapy fosters emotional authenticity. Join us for an insightful conversation on breaking shame, embracing vulnerability, and finding hope in recovery.
