In this episode, I speak with Communication Coach Erika Ng. Coming to us from Indonesia, she shares her ex-pat working experiences throughout the years. Together, we dig into...

Erika's Bio
Communication Coach. Podcaster. Expat.
My mission is simple – I want to help people. Cheesy as it may sound, it's the truth. In a world where we can connect with people at the click of a button, we've also become more divided. I’m from Canada but have spent the past nine years living as a cultural minority abroad. This experience has shone a light on the differences in how people share and receive information, making me realize just how heavily we lean on assumptions in our daily interactions.
Now, I'm based in Bali, armed with the hard-earned wisdom from my time abroad. I work closely with clients, expanding their self-awareness, exploring various perspectives, and equipping them with the communication tools they need to achieve both personal and professional success.
At the end of the day, we humans are social beings, making communication a crucial life skill.
In my free time, I host a podcast called "Self-Help Junkie." Here, I delve deep into topics alongside experts and book enthusiasts, unraveling the challenges they've faced and the enduring habits that have led to their success. Our debut season centers around the theme of romantic love, covering everything from the intricacies of jealousy and shame to the world of erotic massages.
