Even if your parents don't understand
Even if your family talks about you
Even if you don't have it all figured out
Your immigrant parents did the hard work of re-establishing your family in this new country.
Now it’s time to honor their struggles and move out of survival mode and into thriving mode. It’s time to get creative!
Survival mode has us solely focused on financial stability and job security even if it makes us miserable!
When we were children, we learned musical instruments, art, dancing, and used our imaginations.
That creative spirit is still within you. It’s now time for our generation to reclaim our creative birthright and leave behind the traditional path for one filled with creativity, curiosity, and purpose.
You think that success = money
You think that if you get a promotion, a new role, or switch companies that you will be happier, but every time it's just been more of the same.
You think that it's impossible to change careers and you would be completely starting over.
Our parents modeled for us that a successful career was working in a steady corporate job for 30 years!
Let's face it. That isn't the model that we want to be living in anymore.
You've already tried to be the "good kid" and climb the corporate ladder, but it has only left you miserable.
Maybe it's time to find new role models - ones who are doing what you've been daydreaming about.
Maybe you've been telling yourself that other people can have a successful creative career, but not you?
Then ask yourself, why not you?
You pushed yourself to be at the top of the class in school.
You ambitiously climbed the corporate ladder to honor your parents' sacrifice and fulfill the American Dream.
You picked a major because it was the safe choice that would guarantee financial success.
You stay in a job you hate because your parents are proud of you and your "success".
You have financial stability from work that excites and energizes you. No more golden handcuffs!
You build a career that honors your parents' sacrifices AND highlights your creativity. No more pretending that you're doing something you love when you don't!
You wake up every morning excited about what you will create. No more Sunday scaries!
Your career adds more energy into your life and helps you have better relationships, health, and happiness!
Your corporate job has provided security, but pursuing your dreams doesn't require a leap into the unknown. Together, we will carefully evaluate which ideas to pursue, ensuring that your career transition is not only financially viable but also aligns perfectly with your ideal lifestyle.
For too long, you’ve navigated the expectations of your parents, family, and society. Together, we'll focus on uncovering what truly excites and motivates you in your career, helping you identify your genuine interests and what ignites your passion.
Your identity and daily life have long been defined by your corporate 9-5 job. As you pivot, we will guide you in establishing routines and crafting a lifestyle that works for you. You'll also receive support in forging valuable connections within your creative field and effectively communicating your career transition to family and friends.
Embrace your curiosity and foster a sense of play, rather than letting the perfectionist or overachiever dominate your journey. Together, we'll cultivate a beginner's mindset, creating space for experimentation, learning, and discovering what truly resonates with you.
“I’m a person with tons of hopes and dreams, plus a multitude of talents, but I was very directionless and felt very unfulfilled in my life. I felt like all the cool things that I could do were being wasted and not being put to use.
After I got let go from my office job, I was put in touch with Jessica. I am so, so thankful for her.
Throughout the weekly sessions with her, she helped me realize that my wants and hopes for myself are valid and that though my desires and priorities may not line up or match with others, they matter to me. Jessica helped me to embrace that.
Now I am excited for the possibilities that are laid out before me and I’m excited to do the work to move toward them.”
“As a coach, Jessica was not only deeply compassionate but also a mirror - holding up a reflection for the strength that she saw in me in a moment where maybe I forgot it existed.
I started coaching in a moment when I felt a little stuck, having just gotten out of a tricky relationship while also being relatively new to NYC. Jessica helped me rediscover joy in the form of creativity and self-care. She held me accountable to myself which ultimately is the most important, especially as a person who tends to prioritize others.
In our 1:1 sessions, it felt like coming home. Jess exudes warmness in a way that inspired me to be that towards myself. Beyond providing a space to really explore my life from a birds-eye perspective, Jessica also provided me actionable steps and "tasks." Those tasks were things like getting a massage that week, journaling about gratitude, or delving into a fun activity.
Jessica's coaching gave me the framework to thrive.”
Complaining is just keeping you stuck where you are. Treat your job as simply the funding for the new life you're creating. By releasing the negativity, you will have so much more energy to put towards building a
Instead of pouring your energy into the job you hate, shift that energy into building the career and life that you want for yourself.
What if you dedicate yourself and your time to doing the things that light you up and bring more energy into your life!
I’m a Career Transition Coach.
I'm the daughter of Taiwanese immigrants, who lovingly taught me to choose my career based solely on financial security and job stability.
I decided to work in corporate finance. For 10 years, I climbed the corporate ladder, but kept asking myself "is this it?" I was drained and as I called it "a puddle on my couch" at the end of the day.
Finally, I burned out, quit my job, and decided not to take yet another finance job.
I reconnected to what lit me up. I surrounded myself with my yoga and creative communities. I saw that it was possible to work outside of corporate.
I ultimately decided to become a coach, start a podcast, and teach yoga.
I now live a life that I absolutely love. I have more energy and joy in my life than ever before and help my clients do the same. My creativity is my gift and I love tapping into it every day.
