I Make The Rules Kristen Wang

"Our minds are a great tool, but they're not meant to take the wheel."

In my new Asian American series, I chat with Veronica Kim, an actress residing in LA who, prior to jumping into the acting world last year, was a marriage & family therapist, and prior to that she was on her way to becoming a Catholic nun. In Part 1 of our conversation, we talk about our healing journeys, tapping into the heart and thoughts on spirituality. (Side note: sorry about my shitty audio quality in this one)

Kristen is joined by Aruna, former corporate executive turned entrepreneur & lifestyle coach at thebigforty.com

In Aruna's "past life," she worked at Yahoo! and AOL during the early days of tech, became Head of Data & Partnerships at L'Oreal, led tech start-ups around the world and, during this all, casually made her way across 100+ countries. Despite being "successful" by societal standards, she still felt there was something off. Tune in to hear about Aruna's journey in finding herself, living life on her own terms, and now empowering women in their 40s to do the same. It's never too late (or too early) to do what your heart is calling you to do!
