Tidbits from Liwei

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 and dream. And it takes courage to go after something big and bold. It is worth all the steps, all the h...

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. Because now she gets to be the curious, sweet, and playful cat she was meant to be. And I have the privilege...

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 or money), and reminded me to stay in service from my heart and soul. He showed me that I don’t need to...

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 invite you to also slow down and take your eyes off your screen to notice what is happening around you....

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 well-being and integral to our self-love.  We are in a period of great change where we need to introduce more...

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 bridge generational and cultural gaps when different generations and cultures are in a place sitting toget...

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 aside, what is the core essence of what you’re doing that is coming from your heart? Why does doing what you...

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 and embodied healing. It is looking at the patterns that you’re subconsciously holding on to through your...

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 why for becoming a coach that I will return to when I feel lost and when I bump into obstacles. It is m...

Love comes from understanding. Truly. In this episode, I courageously share this intimate letter that I wrote to my parents on March 1st, 2024 (read aloud March 13, 2024). I wanted to share with you a tangible example of one of the fruits of many months and years of my healing work that I have done to bridge intergenerational and cultural gaps within my family. This is possible for you too. And I...

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 feel myself shaking as I expressed myself. In this episode, I talk about the reasons why breaking a patter...

In this episode, I talk about who therapy is appropriate for and who coaching is appropriate for. Then I share my top 5 reasons for falling in love with coaching and pursuing coaching.

Most of all, it gave me an experience that was different and lacking from what...

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 balance effort and ease as I experiment with stretching out of my comfort zone in a gentle and more easeful...

Merry Christmas to you! Sending you love and hope as we close out this year! Just several days ago, we crossed our winter solstice.

Yes, there have been moments this year that have felt utterly dark, gloomy, and disconnected. But I wanted to remind you that there is still so much that...

I talk about my experience of transitioning from the Bay Area to Florida. After this whole process and standing where I am now, I realize that I can lean in more to trust that life will unfold and already is beautifully unfolding for me. I don’t need to always be in the driver’s seat. I also don’t need to pressure myself to reach for something if I am not truly ready – it’ll eventually become more...

Maybe it’s the changing of seasons for the nights are getting longer. I feel myself turning more inward again. The last 2 weeks I have been learning on a deeper level what it means to hold space so that I feel more connected to me, to other people, and to Mother Earth. I wanted to share with you 3 big lessons I learned as a result of not holding space well, and then learning from that so it can be...

Exploring other possibilities can be both challenging and rewarding. To me, part of living a full life is being open to other opportunities and possibilities rather than always staying in the same lane. There are benefits to this and I discuss it in this podcast. It is my hope that you decide to journey through the curves, hills, and valleys on your path to find what truly matters to you and consc...

Trusting your intuition can sometimes be hard because it requires an openness to experience possibilities that might seemingly go against anything you are planning, hoping for, or expecting. I have some tips to help you trust and develop your intuition. These are all things that I am also continuously practicing. The mind works using logic and reasoning, so it only speaks and understands this lang...

As we go through change, we inevitably have to let go. If we’re letting go of something that is dear and precious to us, this process can be challenging. So I wanted to share how I’ve made the process a little bit easier for myself. There are 2 major elements that I’ve found that have helped me: 1. Be curious! 2. Be gentle Remember to be curious and tender with yourself when letting go. Being curi...

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 you to reflect on what home means to you. No answer is wrong here, it’s just what is true for you and it...
