I grew up the daughter of Taiwanese immigrants. As a kid I painted, played piano, and let my imagination run wild, but when it came time to choose a career I was told to focus on what would provide financial success and job stability.
I studied finance then got a job in corporate finance. I worked hard to climb the corporate ladder for the next decade.
I accomplished what seemed good on paper - manager title, 6-figure salary, and what looked like the perfect life. But, I had lost myself in the process. I gave up so much of who I was to fit the mold of who I was supposed to be.
Something inside of me felt that this wasn't it. There had to be more to life than being miserable most days and desperately waiting for my next vacation.
In 2019, I worked with a life coach. She helped me start advocating for my own wants and needs and make time for my interests and passions.
In 2020, I did my 200-Hr Dharma Yoga teacher training. It was life changing, like coming home to myself. I was also so inspired by my classmates who had successful careers outside of corporate.
In 2021, I burned out in my finance job. I tried to change roles, functions, and companies but nothing worked. The intense stress led to health problems. After much consideration and preparation, I quit my job and decided I was more important than the title, money, and prestige of my job.
After I quit, I took some time just to reconnect to what brought me joy. Then, I started to explore different job options.
At first, I thought I might go back to finance. But, I realized I couldn't keep trying yet another finance job.
Alternatively, I thought I might go into financial planning. While it was moving in the right direction, it still wasn't what I really wanted to do.
Finally, I decided to listen to my gut and focus on my passion for health and wellness. I saw how my journey was inspiring those around me and decided to become and coach and start my podcast to help others create change in their lives.
Now I get to live that dream every day!
