Her beautiful attitude reminds me of this statement: It's none of my business what others think of me ❤❤❤

[@yuyugo62]

I love Jiaoying! Thank you for this episode Kati, as an east asian I felt related to a lot of things she said in her stand ups and in this episode. Asian parents, culture and beauty standards can be brutal but she is so strong, authentic and funny, what a warrior!! I hope you can make a part 2, this was so interesting and inspiring❤

[@mannkaur6354]

Kati. Please please please and please talk about slut shaming and the trauma it causes. I was slut shamed by my parents when i was 17 because i had a boyfriend. I am 29 now and I haven’t been able to process that trauma. I feel hurt. And it’s not just hurt. Its like m bleeding and bleeding. I need to hear your thoughts i trust your videos and content. Please talk about it someday. Love your work and insights

[@kaylamckenzie1]

"They can hate me but they can't compete with me!" YAASSSS!!!

[@kathy1001]

What a beautiful lady and such an inspiration. I admire her being able to be so vulnerable. ❤❤

[@LiveFaustDieJung]

That poker face though

[@MichelleMBA]

The relationship story resonates so much in parts. This is an incredible story of survival and resilience ❤️

[@jessman8597]

She's absolutely gorgeous and inspiring. I'm amazed. How do we shake all the negative messaging from family and culture and embrace the more positive truth. Forty plus years later, I still haven't been able to do that effectively.

[@cgarcia660]

I love seeing talented, brilliant women of color breaking through the challenges of abusive people. Thank you for this interview and highlight. 👏🏽👏🏽♥️♥️

[@amordelbueno6112]

Wow, what a story that she has, thank you. Now I know that there is people that they don’t care about another human been. Those people should not have business with another human. I am talking about the people that she married.

[@stoffls]

what a powerful story! Glad you keep fighting!

[@nou-kc1ws]

amazing episode, thank you for this! 🥰🥰

[@cj5056]

Great interview! Definitely gives you perspective to listen to another person’s journey.

[@nikkimckay860]

AKA podcast.hello good afternoon Kati and guest jiaoying summers sorry for the wrong spelling in your name you are very beautiful and strong woman I am very interested in everything shared in this new AKA podcast and Kati looking beautiful ❤❤

[@essenceaquarius9958]

Great video!

[@Coffee_Coffee30]

What a good interview!!💗

[@jadechiara1877]

Ms. Jiaoying is an AMAZING woman. I absolutely love her!!!

[@erikavaleries]

Love this type of video!!

[@stacib1992]

"Nobody lies about going to Kentucky" 😂 She has good confidence in herself and thats admirable. Its crazy about the different standards in different cultures.

[@ImTJandMJ]

loved this video ❤

[@Thomasfboyle]

Diligently taking notes on how not to be a husband

[@kreasiw]

Yay! Kentucky 😊

[@JessStaysHome]

Really liking the new intro/outro tunes 🎵

[@paulyg3776]

Oh wow! Tiger Queen has earned her fame and is so introspective. I love how well she articulated the differing beauty standards. As a Westerner, whenever she makes jokes about her ugliness, it's great comedy because this culture sees her as a bombshell. Thanks for sticking it out and sticking to your values and integrity. Inspiring!!!!

[@MISTAJZA]

Kati, I love your videos and can’t upvote them enough, including this one. However though, it’s hard for me to watch this and not think like “if I was that attractive maybe I would have an amazing life too”.

[@MrEpsilonZero]

I guess this replaces standard questions, thank you though for reminding me why I stopped drinking.

[@0valch]

And, as usual, women can't complain. So much fun 🙄

[@fox10192]

Hi. Could you tell me how to differenciate between ocd and ptsd? Also, how can I recover by myself? I need a little guidance..

[@BEACHDUDE71]

I try until the end

[@lola-land]

Help! I can’t figure out where to find new episodes and where to post questions! I found this accidentally. I’m a subscriber but here it says I’m not 🤯

[@kenrickbautista6141]

Hi

[@annaskyy6476]

Funny cause I think she’s one of the most beautiful Chinese women I’ve ever seen and she’s considered ugly by her country’s standards. Wow !

[@JaimeeLeahHumphrey]

Kool Kati

[@bhavyakjain]

In a very weird way, I am kinda relieved that I don't have anyone to call when I will kill myself, so nobody gonna stop me.

[@LiveFaustDieJung]

🪞 🤹🏻‍♀️🤣

[@Ahmed_Phenomenal_Ali]

❤❤❤

[@ezazkhan4233]

hlw mam carty moran

[@ezazkhan4233]

mam im codepency people please what solution

[@blacksea6608]

That’s how the most Chinese men thinking . Like her ex Chinese husband

[@sarah28886]

I turned off after she described people as ‘ugly bitches’. I don’t mind the language but it’s so unkind and unnecessary. I much prefer when it’s just Kati and questions. When there’s a guest I only listen for a bit but I tend to find the chatter boring. I know others like this style of podcast but I just thought I’d share my feedback

[@robertaloi4857]

Yeah, that rubbed me the wrong way too. She comes across as arrogant here and other videos of hers as well. Just an utter turn off.
