Honor The Adjustment Period
When two people come together, they’re bringing two nervous systems into relationship with one another. Each has learned how to stay safe in its own way, each has different protective strategies, and each carries different experiences and histories. I’m learning that when two nervous systems…

Understand Each Other
Hi there! I’ve been learning to become more securely attached so that I can be in a healthier relationship. As part of this healing process, I have had to unlearn some things, rewire my nervous system, and see how things this time around are different than before. I’m going to try and start…

Choosing Steadiness Over Speed
One of the topics I return to often is slowing down. I seem to be learning this lesson again and again, because I still have a tendency to rush or make big moves. I suspect that it comes from having lived a life of frequent transitions since a young age…moving from place to place, adapting again...
-
In Love With Ordinary Life
Ever since moving to Seattle, I’ve experienced greater degrees of joy and an enjoyment for life. I’m appreciating even more than before the mundane, ordinary, and simple aspects of daily life. You might even say…falling in love with the boringness. A little more joy is a big deal. Sometimes it...
-
Choosing A Place To Live
Have you ever wondered where you might want to live and build a life? I began exploring this question in 2022. I traveled the world in search of a “perfect” place but what I found along the way was something unexpected. More than a location, this tour around the world led me to learn more about...
-
Honor How Far You’ve Come
Sometimes we are so focused on where we are headed, where we wish we could be, always thinking of what’s next that we forget to take a step back to do two other important things. * Pause, relax, and appreciate where we are. * Look back and honor how far we’ve come. I’ve learned that these 2...
-
Move Without Force
When these parts want different things, we can’t move forward and become unstuck by forcing our way forward. We could do all the actions that seem right and seem to make it appear as if we’re making progress. Yet we can only move as fast as our slowest part. When we try to override or ignore the...
-
Saying “I Love You”
For those of us who grew up in an Asian culture, it wasn’t very common for family members to say “I love you” to one another or, for that matter, really express any emotions through words. Love was expressed through acts of service, like cooking delicious meals for each other. It was shown…

Happiness Is At Your Doorstep
What if peace and happiness weren’t something you had to earn or achieve? What if it’s in the stillness? We’re so used to rushing. Our nervous systems are usually stuck in survival fight or flight mode. So wired for productivity, achievement, and trying to avoid what we fear. But that’s not how...
-
Let It Take the Time It Needs
There’s something sacred about the in-between. The space between the question and answer. The space between where you were and where you’re going. The transition. The threshold. The doorway. It can feel uncomfortable and uncertain but it doesn’t mean it’s wrong. It may be exactly where you need…

Navigating Uncertainty to Find Meaningful Work
About 8 years ago, I landed a job that seemed like a dream. It had great pay, top-notch benefits, good work-life balance, and I was working with a great team. It was at a tech company in beautiful San Francisco which was an ideal place to build a tech career since it was a tech hub. The job was...
-
The Lesser Known Side of Me
Most people knew another version of me. The one who was put together, winning at life, fun and loving, warm and giving, and conflict-avoidant. But that was only part of me. I had another side, too. The part that could cry and feel sad about things, or feel fear and uncertainty, or have...
-
Lessons from Loss
My pet budgies have taught me so much about love, loss, gratitude, acceptance, freedom, and then more love (again). Their fleeting lives reminded me to cherish life – life is so precious and life is a miracle. Back in the day, I didn’t let myself love. I put up a wall and armour around my heart...
-
My Medicine
Most of the time, the medicine I offer is intangible, unseen, unmeasurable by scientific standards. It’s felt. No matter which form my medicine takes, I know it will always spill out in the way it needs to to my family, my friends, my community, and the world. As long as I live with the utmost...
-
2025 Goal Setting
One of the things I love most about life coaching is helping clients set meaningful goals right from the start. But these aren’t just any goals—they’re heart-centered goals that resonate deeply with who you are and where you want to go. To learn more about mind-driven vs. heart-centered goals,...
-
Healing Surprise
Sometimes, life surprises us in the most unexpected ways. Over the past month, I’ve realized that some of the hardest moments I endured over the last few years were the catalysts for profound healing, growth, and grace. What I once thought was the most terrible thing to happen to me turned out to...
-
A Softening
It’s hard to put into complete sentences and paragraphs what I have been going through the last few weeks. This episode is currently my best expression of the process I am in. In the darkness and void, I await my rebirth. Here are ways you can support me and my work: * I am a heart-centered coach...
-
Connecting With The Heart Space
Here is something that is not often said and taught in society. True joy, serenity, and love aren’t something that you have to force yourself to create or feel. In a world that often tells us we need to “create” happiness, peace, or love, it’s easy to fall into the trap of forcing ourselves to…
more -
Beauty And Goodness Are Everywhere
When we begin to believe that beauty and goodness are everywhere around us, we start to notice this in our lives more and more. What we believe in has a huge impact on our lived experience because we often consciously and unconsciously validate what we believe until it feels more and more true....
-
Embracing Duality
I believe our bodies are a hologram of the universe. When we begin to understand ourselves more, we can understand the intricacies of the families, communities, and the world in which we live. As I’ve been navigating my journey, I’ve had to face and learn to accept dichotomies that can exist…
more -
At A Crossroads
I have somehow found the courage to move forward in a direction that I never in my life would have imagined I would do. I am in the final stages of establishing and registering my business in China and will soon have my business license! Eeek! I hope to bring life coaching to China – to guide...
-
Meet Yourself Where You Are
Healing isn’t about rushing to a destination where all wounds are healed, or where we’re a perfected version of ourselves. It’s about meeting ourselves where we are and accepting ourselves as we are, with all our imperfections, pain, and emotions. In this episode, I talk about myself navigating...
-
Cross-Cultural Dating
My experience of dating a Chinese guy for the first time has been so different from my experiences of dating in the West. He was so wonderful and amazing in so many ways; yet, it was also heartbreaking in so many ways. Navigating a cross-cultural relationship has revealed the differences in…
more -
Growth Through Intimate Relationships
In our interactions with those close to us, whether we find ourselves calm or agitated is rarely because of someone else. Instead, these states often reveal something within ourselves that needs attention. Family members, romantic partners, or close friends can act as catalysts for our growth and...
-
Crawling In Love
The crickets chirp day and night rejoicing that this summer heat is to their liking. Wuhan is unbearably hot, humid, crowded, and the traffic is terrible. It is nothing like the perfect place that I had envisioned with my reasoning mind that this is what I would come to love. Far from it. Yet…
more -
We All Hit Rough Patches At Times
Know that you’re not alone in facing rough patches even when you’re pursuing your biggest goals and dreams. We all go through bright sunny days and we all weather storms as part of the journey. When you pick yourself back up and keep going, it reaffirms that you still care a lot about your goal…

Purrmione
This is Purrmione. She is very curious, playful, and communicative. But she wasn’t this way when I first received her. But I gave her space to let her be. Little by little, she started to come out of her hiding place more often. It is so heart-warming seeing her feel safe to open up to me.…
more -
My Ego Is Humbled
Big soul lessons can come from anywhere. My cousin, her friend, and I traveled through Inner Mongolia for almost 5 days. Our driver completely dispelled the judgments I had carried with me about people who live in China, showed me what matters the most to me in a relationship (not social status…
more -
Navigating China
I’m here in Wuhan and China in general for an unknown period of time. It turns out I’m here to lay down some of the foundations of my life coaching business in China and spend more time living out here. The transition is uncomfortable but I'm happy and finding it in the most ordinary moments. I...
-
Be A Baby
Where is play in our lives? Where and when do we get to be a child that gets to have fun, learn to laugh, learn to feel joy, learn to explore our interests, learn to discover, learn to create, and learn to be curious about more things than just what’s in the textbooks? Play is vital to our...
-
Building Community
I’m feeling the desire to build a nourishing community because a lot of us want to feel more deeply connected, seen, heard, and supported. I welcome all of you to my community. In particular, Asian ladies and gentlemen, young and old, those based in the East and based in the West. We can only...
-
Your Mission, Vision, and Values
If you are setting out to create a business for yourself as an entrepreneur or even if you’re creating something smaller scale through a long-term project or launch, I think it’s important to define your why. What is it about this endeavor that motivates you? Putting numbers or dollar goals…

Shedding To Make Way For The New
Becoming a new version of yourself is like breaking out of an eggshell. It can feel uncomfortable and painful as you crack out of what is familiar in order to open up to a bigger world of possibilities that bring feelings of liberation and expansion. This is the power of deep intergenerational…

A Deeper Commitment To My Coaching Practice
I’ve spent the last month honing down and refining my coaching niche until it feels “just right” in my heart as preparation for my journey ahead. I went through at least 15 revisions to get here, testing every word choice and feeling whether it resonated deeply in my heart. After all, this is my...

Speaking Up As A Chapter Closes
Since November 2023, I’ve had several conversations with my parents and had written a letter to my dad about how I didn’t want to continue working for their small business and how I felt pulled to keep pursuing my own purpose and path. The conversations were not easy, in fact, I would cry and…

Sometimes Doubt Can Creep In…
I’m curious…if I follow my innermost truth and keep backing my heart when so many others seem to have abandoned it, what journey will it take me on? I get to go through the breadth and range of the human experience. I experience the gift of tears. AND I experience the gift of joy. I want to…

Navigating Big Changes

Home
What does home mean to you? When you hear the word “home”, what feelings or images does this word conjure up? It could be a place or places, it could be where there is family, it could be certain feelings that are evoked, and it could also be a sense of being in alignment with purpose. I'd like…
