Growing Up Different: Moving Changed Everything (Pt 1) #SelfDiscovery

In part 1 of our #OldAsianLady conversation with Tom Landon, we explore what it means to grow up feeling like an outsider. From frequent moves as a military family, to challenges with bullying, to navigating ADHD and how moving to Hawaii gave him a clean slate, new confidence, and a chance to rewrite his story. This episode is about the power of starting over, and the strength it takes to keep moving forward. 00:00 Intro 01:54 Feeling like the outsider 05:02 Having a disorder didn't help 06:05 Dealing with Bullying 12:45 What is ADHD 14:35 Moving to Hawaii with a clean slate 15:37 New image & self confidence w/sports 23:42 Realizing things change & can't ever go back 26:02 New life in "rural" California 28:19 Civilian or Military career? 33:22 Finding out I had Leukemia 36:36 Blacking out while driving 40:17 How I found out it was Leukemia 42:48 Shock & Disbelief 45:41 Reality sets in #Resilience #BullyingAwareness #ADHDStories #LifeChallenges #IdentityJourney #SelfDiscovery #OldAsianLadyPodcast #SharonLandon If you like the OAL podcast, please subscribe & share!
