What does it take to change the conversation around mental health in Asian communities? In this episode, host Jeanette Cheah sits down with Asami Koike, founder of Shapes and Sounds, a social enterprise dedicated to destigmatising mental health for Asian Australians.
Born in Japan and living most of her life in Australia, Asami shares her journey from music therapist to accidental entrepreneur, the challenges of bridging cultural gaps in mental health care, and the perseverance it takes to build a mission-driven business. She also opens up about the pressures of entrepreneurship, navigating funding challenges, and the importance of stepping outside of her comfort zone—one coffee meeting at a time.
