    <title>Bloom in Crisis</title>
    <description>Bloom in Crisis is the embodiment of hope, born to help people transform moments of uncertainty and hardship into clarity, compassion, and intentional growth (with a touch of style ✨)

Having experienced firsthand the challenges of navigating difficult times alone, Zip Nguyen began blogging when the pandemic struck in 2020, later expanding her efforts by launching a podcast and YouTube channel. Her unique style weaves spirituality, practicality, and beauty into a compelling tapestry.

Driven by a profound desire to help others also bloom in crisis, Zip’s refreshing perspective, inventive techniques, and authentic storytelling spark deep reflection, cultivate heightened intuition, foster healing, expand consciousness, and nurture harmonious alignment between life decisions and the soul.

Instead of being a barrier, our differences are what make it work so well between us, and I truly can’t express enough how much I appreciate having Zachary on my team! </p><p>Here’s a bit of candid sharing combined with some fun facts about us that I hope will help alleviate some of the stress if you’re trying to find the right job or career path for yourself. Have a watch, and good luck! </p><p>🍀 Special thanks to Zachary Adelmann for sharing your experience and Isabella Espinosa for asking your question. Thank you Professor Kate Kennon for hosting the session and all the students in Business Communication class at Fordham University for your engagement ❤️</p><p>📺 If you find our sharing helpful, don’t forget to subscribe to Bloom in Crisis channel on YouTube to never miss an episode!</p><p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w427nI1FMig&t=8s</p>

      <title>This mindset will help you embrace adversity and find success // Fordham University x Zip Nguyen</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>"Your quarterlife crisis is your greatest asset."<br /><br />This is what I said to a student when I was asked about my mantra after we wrapped up the meeting. If you have been following my blog since I started it, you'll know that I still haven't changed my mantra until now. Not because I'm fixated on it, but rather, it's because the older I get, the more I find it true and become even more grateful for everything I've been through.<br /><br />I debated with myself many times whether I should share this video or not for lots of reasons—one of them is because we recorded it back in August 2023 when I still thought <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/bloomincrisis/">Bloom in Crisis</a> was a brand or a podcast (I later realized that it's not, but oh well, I didn't know what I didn't know! 🤪) It might seem trivial to many, but it was a huge shift for me once I internalized the essence of bloom in crisis myself.<br /><br />Regardless, I still decided to publish it because I do believe this conversation about embracing pain and suffering is important to share, and I want to embrace my authentic journey, too 🙃<br /><br />I hope that my sharing is helpful for you to reflect on your own journey in helping both yourself and others to build resilience and find success.

      <title>Why we all need feminine energy and practical ways to cultivate it // Tyler Rohoblt &amp; Zip Nguyen</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Link to watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7JgVhvQYp4</p><p>For a long time, I used to think that one of the reasons I've been single for so long was because I might be too masculine for guys—too independent, too assertive, too stubborn, too direct, too ambitious. You know, being feminine in my mind was associated with being submissive, skilled in the kitchen, or dressing up super girly... and while I think they’re great qualities too, I just don't necessarily see myself that way. </p><p>Needless to say, I always feel surprised yet intrigued when my girlfriends tell me, "You're one of the most feminine women that I've known," or like how this conversation I had with Tyler Rohoblt in DC started because she told me that she wanted to learn more about how to cultivate the "divine femininity" which she saw in me, when this was only the second time that we had met! 😬 While it's still hard for me to believe, at least now I know that's not the reason haha (if you've watched my recent episode on being single on Valentine's Day, you'll know why) but growing to embrace my femininity in my own way is probably one of the most empowering and beautiful gifts I've allowed myself to have 💝 </p><p>Do I think cultivating feminine energy is beneficial for guys as well? Absolutely. Feminine energy encompasses traits such as nurturing, intuition, empathy, creativity, and collaboration. Unlike the traditional belief, these qualities are not exclusive to any gender. Even if you're a man, you can also benefit from embracing feminine energy. Balancing both the feminine and masculine energies within ourselves allows us to foster emotional intelligence, compassion, and inner wisdom, ultimately contributing to our overall growth and fulfillment. </p><p>Special thanks to Tyler for joining me in this episode and also helping me articulate what I do to cultivate my feminine energy through our conversations—something I wasn't even consciously aware of myself until we spoke about it 🙈 (fun fact: we recorded this video months ago but it still holds true for me) </p><p>What are your ways to cultivate and unlock the power of the feminine energies within you?

      <title>Tame your ego and overcome self-doubt with one practice // Dharma Choice Phap Tuyen &amp; Zip Nguyen (Part 2)</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Many people find it surprising when I say I don’t often go to temples or read spiritual books, even though deep down, I know that I’m very spiritual and have been practicing mindfulness intuitively for a long time. While I’ve heard of the Blue Cliff Monastery for the last eight years and had always wanted to visit, it hadn’t been at the forefront of my mind until last weekend when I finally made the trip... and despite the rain, I’m so glad I did! I’ll never forget the song ‘Understanding and Compassion’ (Hiểu và Thương) that we sang together as a community, the mindful eating with the tastiest vegetarian food, sharing my learnings with Dharma Choice (Thầy Pháp Tuyển), and learning from him as we walked around the monastery. This conversation, like most of those that I’ve shared on this channel, came together in the spur of the moment ☺️ </p><p>Watch the full Part 2 of our conversation to learn about the practice of non-self that can help you both tame your ego while also overcoming self-doubt ✨ </p><p>Watch it on YouTube:</p><p>Part I: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPEhmdtMVRM&t=13s</p><p>Part II: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzyHUZzfy-A&t=26s</p>

      <title>Healing energy can be circulated by simply doing this... // Beverley Roberts &amp; Zip Nguyen</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Many unexpected things have happened in my life, and my experience at Monkey Island Estate is one of them 💛 After having the best facial with Sophie on my first day at the floating spa, I decided to return for another massage with Beverley the next day. It was nothing short of miraculous. Although I wasn’t consciously seeking healing energy at that time and had no specific expectations before entering, I sensed that I needed it and followed my intuition. </p><p>After our session, Beverley and I had a little chat that naturally flowed from one topic to another. Feeling completely unlocked and at peace, I couldn’t resist asking Beverley if I could record our conversation to share with you before she had to leave. No agenda, no makeup, no checking in the mirror or trying to fix anything—I just went for it. Instead of attempting to describe the healing energy I experienced, I’d love for you to feel it while listening to our conversation. Energy doesn’t need to be created, and this is why… ✨ </p><p>Hope you enjoy it x</p>

      <title>Do these to build and sustain a happy relationship // Jeff, Saralyn, &amp; Zip Nguyen</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>The first time I met Jeff and Saralyn, we were seated next to each other at a charming restaurant in Washington DC. Our initial exchange revolved around the delightfully delicious food, yet unexpectedly, it evolved into an unforgettable experience. With every word we shared, I grew more captivated by their genuine affection and unwavering love, even after 33 years together. Their remarkable ability to nurture such a profound connection left a deep impression on me. I found myself absorbing invaluable lessons from their journey, not only through their words but also their behaviors. </p><p>After meeting them, I was deeply touched, inspired, and transformed for the better. </p><p>Believing their love and wisdom should be more widely spread, in a spontaneous moment, I asked Jeff and Saralyn if they'd be open to letting me record our ongoing conversation so that I could share their treasured insights with you all. </p><p>No formal introduction. No pre-written script. No rehearsed lines. </p><p>Just an unfiltered exchange and a natural connection of the souls. </p><p>And this is how they grow their love together…</p>

      <title>Simple daily practice to help ease your anxiety // Briana Penzarella &amp; Zip Nguyen</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>[Link to watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/nGHNPA4Vn6Y]</p><p>In this episode, I'm excited to introduce you to my favorite yoga teacher, Briana Penzarella. Perhaps one of the things many people don't know about me is that, while I might manage to stay cool, calm, and collected on the outside (as I've been told), I actually cope with anxiety quite often. Practicing yoga regularly has become one of my grounding forces. It's been proven highly effective for me, but there's much more to it than meets the eye.</p><p>Check out Briana Penzarella's chanting playlist on Spotify:</p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/5vDGuXxZ0lSL5pXsVhK3ys?si=J0m1gd6vSB69A4Lj097oSA">https://open.spotify.com/artist/5vDGuXxZ0lSL5pXsVhK3ys?si=J0m1gd6vSB69A4Lj097oSA</a></p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>[Link to watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/nGHNPA4Vn6Y]</p><p>In this episode, I'm excited to introduce you to my favorite yoga teacher, Briana Penzarella. Perhaps one of the things many people don't know about me is that, while I might manage to stay cool, calm, and collected on the outside (as I've been told), I actually cope with anxiety quite often. Practicing yoga regularly has become one of my grounding forces. It's been proven highly effective for me, but there's much more to it than meets the eye.</p><p>Check out Briana Penzarella's chanting playlist on Spotify:</p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/5vDGuXxZ0lSL5pXsVhK3ys?si=J0m1gd6vSB69A4Lj097oSA">https://open.spotify.com/artist/5vDGuXxZ0lSL5pXsVhK3ys?si=J0m1gd6vSB69A4Lj097oSA</a></p>

      <title>3 practical ways to set boundaries in relationships (with Phuonggy Pham)</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>[Link to watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/IGgengwTw5E]</p><p>Setting boundaries has always been a challenge for me, and it's something I've grappled with throughout my life. In many Asian cultures, the concept of boundaries isn't frequently discussed since the emphasis often lies on being group-oriented and prioritizing others' needs over our own. Sacrificing for the greater good is deeply ingrained in our upbringing.</p><p>In this episode, I'm happy to have my dear friend and sister, Phuonggy Pham, join me as we discuss this topic. Memorizing how to set boundaries isn't something that will ever come naturally to me, so here are the techniques that I apply in my life to help me with this. If you're also struggling with setting boundaries, particularly in relationships, we hope our conversation can offer some guidance and add value to your life as well x</p><p>Here's the link to the podcast episode in which Phuonggy also interviewed me on her podcast, "Dear Future Daughters" (Episode 2: You All Have a Voice) if you want to give it a listen!</p><p>https://open.spotify.com/episode/5vROK66fU4S0UXqZRnFtKG?si=XtbXIAnrRtqGsNHRly-o3g</p>

      <title>Why do we need to talk more about suicide prevention? - In conversation with Jennie Baird and Zip Nguyen</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>❓What should I do if I have suicidal thoughts?<br />❓After someone commits suicide, what is it like for their loved ones?<br />❓What can we all do to contribute to suicide prevention and postvention?</p><p>Jennie lost her son, Henry, to suicide almost 10 years ago. He was a sophomore studying Art and Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. In Jennie’s words: “Henry was the funniest, most creative person I knew. He and I had shared professional interests and he worked as an intern at NVIDIA the summer before he died and planned to intern at Dropbox the following summer.” </p><p>In this episode, our CQO Zip Nguyen and Jennie Baird (EVP and Managing Director in Digital News and Streaming at BBC Studios) will be going through a series of questions chatting about Jennie’s personal story and why we need to continue raising awareness for suicide prevention. Please tune in for an inspiring conversation about how Jennie and her family have been coping with the loss of their loved one, how she #bloomincrisis through her grief and the message that she wants to spread regarding suicide prevention and postvention. </p><p>We also want to spotlight the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) Overnight Walk fundraising event. The Overnight Walk runs from dusk to dawn on June 4 in NYC and traverses  over 20 miles around Manhattan to support AFSP to reduce suicide rates by 25% by 2025. Please consider supporting Jennie Baird and her team in the Overnight Walk to raise funds for AFSP – You can join Jennie’s team, or click on “Roster” to help her team members meet their targets <a href="https://lnkd.in/ecKuxDRB">here</a>. </p><p>--------------------</p><p><i><strong>About Jennie Baird: </strong>Jennie is a digital media executive with over 30 years of experience bridging content, technology, and </i>product<i>. She currently serves as EVP and Managing Director in Digital News and Streaming at BBC Studios. Jennie is married to Christophe Armero with whom she raised 5 children.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>❓What should I do if I have suicidal thoughts?<br />❓After someone commits suicide, what is it like for their loved ones?<br />❓What can we all do to contribute to suicide prevention and postvention?</p><p>Jennie lost her son, Henry, to suicide almost 10 years ago. He was a sophomore studying Art and Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. In Jennie’s words: “Henry was the funniest, most creative person I knew. He and I had shared professional interests and he worked as an intern at NVIDIA the summer before he died and planned to intern at Dropbox the following summer.” </p><p>In this episode, our CQO Zip Nguyen and Jennie Baird (EVP and Managing Director in Digital News and Streaming at BBC Studios) will be going through a series of questions chatting about Jennie’s personal story and why we need to continue raising awareness for suicide prevention. Please tune in for an inspiring conversation about how Jennie and her family have been coping with the loss of their loved one, how she #bloomincrisis through her grief and the message that she wants to spread regarding suicide prevention and postvention. </p><p>We also want to spotlight the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) Overnight Walk fundraising event. The Overnight Walk runs from dusk to dawn on June 4 in NYC and traverses  over 20 miles around Manhattan to support AFSP to reduce suicide rates by 25% by 2025. Please consider supporting Jennie Baird and her team in the Overnight Walk to raise funds for AFSP – You can join Jennie’s team, or click on “Roster” to help her team members meet their targets <a href="https://lnkd.in/ecKuxDRB">here</a>. </p><p>--------------------</p><p><i><strong>About Jennie Baird: </strong>Jennie is a digital media executive with over 30 years of experience bridging content, technology, and </i>product<i>.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever been in a situation where you know that your loved ones are getting into trouble and you feel nothing but overwhelmed with guilt, because no matter what you do, it’s never enough?</p><p>The two-month brutal war happening in Ukraine has brought both pain and suffering to millions and millions of people. Not only did it cause direct damage to people living in Ukraine but it also hurt people who are currently living away from their home country, similar to the situation that our today’s audience has to face. Much as she has made an effort to help her loved ones, whether it is financial support or news spreading, she can’t help but feel guilty because her actions are ‘not enough.’</p><p>Our CQO Zip Nguyen has an open conversation with Lana, a young Ukrainian woman currently residing in Canada, who dials in to ask for advice to cope with the feeling of survivor guilt for “not doing enough” as she and many of her Ukrainian friends living overseas are experiencing.

      <title>Feeling unconfident about your academic achievement? - In conversation with Zip Nguyen and Huong Nguyen</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to episode 2 of "Bloom In Crisis"!</p><p>In this episode, we want to address a question from one of our listeners who prefers to stay anonymous, which is also a topic that has been brought up to us a few times through our daily Q&As on Instagram stories and our offline conversations with many of you: academic achievements impacting confidence. In many Asian cultures including Vietnam where both Huong and I are originally from, it is often considered a key indicator of success, so peer pressure, family pressure, and social pressure, particularly in relation to academic performance, are almost unavoidable. So, is there any silver lining at all in not being among the top students in the class? And how can we still feel confident if our grades are not something to be proud of? Continue listening if you’d like to find out.</p><p>----------------------</p><p>We want to thank you for your incredible support of our launch! We appreciate all the constructive feedback and your heart-warming messages that have motivated us to work even harder so that we can provide more and more helpful content for you! We have talked about self-love in our first episode which will continue to be the main theme of everything that we do at Bloom in Crisis, but moving forward, we want to address your specific questions and needs on our podcast, so please feel free to share with us your thoughts by emailing us at bloomincrisis@gmail.com or reaching out to us directly on our social media accounts.
