She shared her story with us about how she uprooted her life from Singapore to Houston, Texas, going through the dark journey of feeling alone in a new and foreign land.

Through her therapy work, she was able to have a better relationship with her husband, she found her happiness and purpose by building her own community, and creating her podcast, Heart Open ConversAsians.

I wanted to share with you this tool called The Law of Mirroring.
This is a tool that I used to create a deeper awareness of myself, and a phenomenal tool for me to learn more about how other people are feeling.
This is super useful especially with your kids, esp. when you feel there is a communication breakdown, this tool will help you gain a deeper understanding of what your kids are feeling.
I hope this tools benefits you as much as it benefited me!

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 Aug 9th, I, along with 15 other Asian Women, launched a book called Asian Women Trailblazers Who BossUp, and we became #1 International Bestseller!
I'm really proud of it, but on that day, I felt like I rode an emotional rollercoaster.
And looking back, I believe these 4 mindset shifts really helped me to show up on that day.
So I'm going to share them with you on this episode!
They are
1) Overcome the fear of judgement
2) Deliberatly choose your thoughts
3) Be okay to ask for support and be open to receiving
4) Practice celebrating
They really helped me, so I hope they help you too!
Also, if you're interested to purchas a physical book from me, you can purchase it here!
Part of the proceeds of the book goes to Immigrant Women in Business, where I empower other women along the way.
Also, if you're interested to be in the next book and be part of the Women Who BossUp movement, I'd love for you to contact me!
I know you have a dream that you want to go after. But if you find yourself holding back, then try to implement these! If you'd like someone to guide you along, I'd love for you to hop on a session with me!
Your dreams are important! It's never too late! Let's go!

We always talk about needing to celebrate ourselves more!
But we never do.
It's so easy for us to reach a goal, and then we'd rush off to another goal, or critize our work.
So why is that?
In this episode, I'm sharing with you
-The reasons why we don't celebrate
-What celebration actually means
-Give you a few steps to celebrate yourself
I hope that through this episode, you will learn to appreciate why this practice is so important, so you can incorpate it into your life!
