Depression, Anorexia, Dreaming Brave and Changing Lives- Dr Wai Jia Tam

Welcome to another episode of Sunburnt Souls! Today, we're privileged to explore the remarkable journey of Wai Jia Tam, a true beacon of inspiration. We begin by acknowledging her impactful endeavours, such as the publication of her first book, Kitesong, at the tender age of 18, which raised over $100,000 for a children’s home in Nepal. But as we'll soon discover, life's journey isn't always smooth sailing. At just 19, while navigating medical school, Wai Jia found herself living by faith in Jesus, despite the shadows of mental illness in the forms of depression and anorexia.
We delve into her experience of walking the tightrope between God's leading and provision, and the darkness of mental illness. What did depression look like for her? And how did anorexia manifest in her life? Despite these challenges... Wai Jia bravely shares whether she still struggles with these conditions today.
In the midst of turmoil, Wai Jia found inspiration and growth in her relationship with God. She shares how faith became a cornerstone during these trying times and shaped her perspective on life. She is pioneering a new podcast called "Dream Brave" and will be speaking in Australia in the following weeks.
