Extraordinary Asian Women

So many times, we feel like we need to have our alone time. We need to get away from other people.
That is because a lot of times, who we're presenting to the outside world is very different from who we really are on the inside.
In this episode, I present to you what exactly is happening on the external and internal levels, which makes you want to remove yourself from other people.
If you'd like to work on this area, I'm offering 2 free 30min coaching sessions with me. You can book by clicking on this Link.
I look forward to working with you.

In this episode, I have the opportunity to speak with the beloved Tess Vergara. She shared with us her journey through her depression and burnt out. Finding her identity after her children had grown.
Tess shares with us the 4 pillars in our lives, and teaches us how to align these 4 pillars so that we can return to wholeness.
She also shares with us how to shift from fear power to soul power, so that we can tap into our soul's uniqueness.

Tess Vergara Bio:
Soul Powered Executive Coach Tess Vergara addresses the conflicts many executives face between mind and heart, soul and ego. Through her coaching programs, Tess guides executives, leaders and change makers to the shift from fear power to Soul Power so they can fulfill their unique mark in the world. Soul Power is the revolution that helps leaders achieve financial freedom and abundance, master productivity and creativity, and gain true wealth and happiness in a way that feels good and right without compromise and inner conflict.
She is the host of Soul Power To The People Podcast shedding light on crimes against humanity.

On the one hand, we keep hearing things like, there isn't enough Asian Women representation in the leadership roles (with only 2.7% leaders being Asian Women).
While on the other hand, we have Asian parents continuously pushing us to do more and better since a very young age.
How are these two things linked to each other?
It all comes down to creating Asian women who have a very difficult time receiving.
Receiving recongnition of our efforts, being able to showcase our talents, and having the mindset to take on leadership challenges in life.
I came to Canada from Hong Kong when I was 11. Being a Chinese-Canadian girl I had a lot of trouble with receiving.
In this episode, I'm going to explore how the two things listed above are closely related to each other.
How the constant not-enoughness is creating a lot of self-doubt, which becomes very difficult for Asian women to go after leadership positions.
How the constant self-judgement is creating a lot of competition, and inability to celebrate and uplift each other.
And what we can do to love ourselves, so we are more willing and more courageous to go after more challening things in our lives.
I'd love for you to have a listen to it, and let me know whether you agree or disagree with it!

On this episode, I am restarting to interview some Extraordinary Asian Women where I bring on some Asian Ladie voices, so they can share their wisdom with you.
This episode's guest is an entrepreneur, and my son is actually one of her abacus students! Her name is Annie Hardock.
In this episode, we talked about overcoming the challenges of receiving as a Chinese woman.
Also, we talked about the steps to take to find your vision, so that we can set our own goals for ourselves.
If you're interested to get your kids to learn about Abacus, or if you'd like to connect with Annie from a business pespective, please reach out to her! She is a super Connector!
Annie's Bio:
Watching her parents struggle financially to raise their family with 9 children, Annie knew, from a young age, that education and personal development was the key to financial freedom. It’s a lesson that’s served Annie well, and that she continues to pass on to others as an educator and entrepreneur.

Annie arrived in Canada from Hong Kong in 1980, and pursued her Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics with her major in Computer Science from the University of Waterloo. After successfully starting a systems consulting company serving the financial industry in the early-90s and a home-based online business in the mid-90s, Annie spearheaded a successful networking group in 1998 that is now in its second decade of existence.

In 2010, Annie’s drive also resulted in the birth of a mathematics-based child learning center. When the lockdowns from COVID-19 began in March 2020, Annie pivoted the learning center to an online virtual classroom. Her vision is to deliver high quality, affordable and accessible education to children around the world.

One of Annie’s passions is youth empowerment and operating in a virtual space has also given her company opportunities to work with universities and colleges on research projects and student placement programs, offering students much-needed, real-world experiences in the Early Childhood Education (ECE) and E-Learning fields. Annie also supports local youth employment with staff ranging from high school and university students to young adults.

Annie is a #1 Best Selling Author and Speaker. She has co-authored two books in the Women Who BossUp book series and she is passionate about women empowerment in business and in life. Annie has expanded her gift for networking to create the United Networks for Growth, connecting businesses all over the world. And this—this desire to help people realize their full potential—is the cohesive thread that runs through all of Annie's invariably successful ventures.
