Shin Yu Pai – Ten Thousand Things
Jack Straw artist Shin Yu Pai has launched the fourth season of her award-winning podcast Ten Thousand Things, produced in part through the Jack Straw Artist Support Program. This week we’re sharing an excerpt from the first episode, which you can hear in full on Apple Podcasts or any other podcast platform.
When Yowei Shaw was laid off from her job, it felt less like a career shift and more like a breakup — one that unraveled her sense of identity and purpose. In this episode, Yowei and host Shin Yu Pai explore the emotional toll of job loss and the rituals we invent to heal – from fried chicken to gold trophies. Along the way, they chart a path through grief toward reinvention, while exploring the power of reclaiming your story.
