EP. 49 – Choosing Joy Every Day w/ Karen Chen | The Patty Show

✨ From MIT to LA, from science to screen—Karen Chen is choosing joy every step of the way. 🎬💫

In this radiant episode, I’m joined by Karen Chen—a proud Chinese-American creative force whose story is just getting started. She’s an MIT grad turned LA-based actress and screenwriter, chasing dreams with grit, gratitude, and that signature joy we all need more of.

🎥 Her latest win? Co-writing a powerful short film about a friendship breakup with our good friend Leo, who joined us back in Episode 31! The film just wrapped production and is headed into post—big things are brewing 👀

Fun fact: Karen didn’t always see herself in front of the camera. It wasn’t until Marvel’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was filming on the MIT campus that a friend nudged her to try acting. That seed planted during college has now blossomed into a full-on creative life in LA—auditions, side hustles, and stories that matter.

In this episode, we dive into:

🌞 The power of real positivity and how to choose joy in your everyday 🎬 The emotional journey of making a film rooted in friendship and heartbreak 📚 How MIT shaped her mindset, resilience, and storytelling voice 🌸 Why her Chinese heritage fuels her drive and creativity 💫 Protecting your peace, avoiding toxic positivity, and savoring the small stuff

Karen’s journey is a reminder that you don’t have to force joy—you can choose it, grow it, and live it out loud.
