I'm telling you this Colombia trip that I have been planning has taught me so much about myself and life! ----------------------------------------------------------- Buy me a coffee.

They called us crazy… and they were right 😏 This episode is a raw, unfiltered voice note between me and my best friend, talking about all the times people said we were crazy for doing whatever it is we wanted to do (Whether that was trusting our gut, taking risks, and following dreams that didn’t make sense to anyone else.) Every single time, that “crazy” decision led to something amazing. If you...

It’s official - I’m going to Colombia 🇨🇴✨ In this episode, I’m sharing the journey behind how I’ve been shamelessly pitching to brands to get there for free . Why? Because I wanted a challenge. Not everyone understood it and that’s okay. This one’s not about proving anything to anyone. It’s about doing something that pushes me, stretches me, and makes me bolder than ever. Sometimes, you don’t nee...

Your circle doesn’t always see your vision — and that’s okay. Noah was out here building an ark in the middle of nowhere, and people thought he was crazy… until the flood came 🌊. In this episode, I’m talking about why you can’t let the small opinions of a few people stop you from chasing your big dream. There are 8 billion people out there — your tribe will find you. Keep building your ark, even...

If I could go back and start my content creator journey all over again, there are a few things I’d do very differently 👀. In this episode I’m sharing the mistakes I made (like dropping 3k on branding I didn’t need, outsourcing my socials, and doing things I thought I should do) and the lessons I’ve learned along the way. This is the raw truth about what it really takes to grow as a creator: consi...

I said I wanted to dance on stage for a celeb at least once in my life… and then boom, out of nowhere, I end up dancing for a Dominican rapper, CHIMBALA!! Manifestation really said, “here you go babe.” And then, when work told me I couldn’t stay at the Four Seasons anymore because it was “too expensive”… I REFUSED to accept that was my reality. Next thing you know, I’m checking into the Four Seaso...

This episode is about two traumatic incidents I had that led me to hate my legs. I used to be so insecure about my legs because in Asia my legs are considered huge and in the West they are slim.

Most asian kids went to university for their parents not for themselves. I was one of them. Don't get me wrong, I don't regret it because I definitely developed lots of transferable skills from it. But most of the things I did in my life was because my parents wanted me to do it. It's only the last 2-3 years I stopped attaching my worth to my achievements and doing stuff for me! ------------------...

In this episode, I got a bit emotional. 🫣 😅 Didn't expect it. I talk about having a dream/ vision and to make it happen is to have SELF BELIEF and not caring about other people whether they believe in it or not. People will always have opinion, SO JUST DO YOU! --------------------------------------------------------------- Buy me a coffee. Thank you, love you! ⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/disco...

If you're the eldest daughter in your family I'm sure will be resonate with this. Especially if you have immigrant parents. Translating utility bills and that from the age of 8 years old and being the second mum in the house. Feel free to share your experience in the comments. I would love to read about it. Btw you can buy me a coffee. Thank you and love you! ⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/discoverwith...

The reason why I am doing this! ------------------------------------------------ Buy me coffee. Thank y...
