Let’s clear some space (in every sense), starting with the place where you unload your biggest sh*t 💩, so you can finally make room for what actually matters in your life.

    S11E06 What Makes You Who You Are | Alvin Yapp & Lim Pei Ying | CYT Tradition & Heritage: Compass or Shackle

    What makes you who you are? Your family? Your culture? Or the people and experiences that shape you along the way? For Alvin Yapp, Founder of The Intan Peranakan Museum, understanding his identity didn't happen overnight. Growing up, Alvin knew he was Peranakan but didn't really know what that meant. He knew he was different. So he became curious. What began with collecting Peranakan antiques at garage sales grew into more than 40 years of collecting and eventually The Intan—his home that transforms into a museum when visitors walk through the door. But the objects were never just things. They helped him understand who he was. In Tradition & Heritage: Compass or Shackle, Alvin sits down with Lim Pei Ying, ICF Master Certified Coach and Producer of the Clean Your Toilet Podcast, for a conversation about culture, family, life, death and the experiences that shape us. As a young man, Alvin volunteered at a hospice. The people he met there left him with a message he never forgot: Don't wait. Travel. Say sorry. Tell people you love them. Do the things you keep putting off. And Alvin lived by it: travelling, living overseas, backpacking across continents and even volunteering in a leprosy community in India. Perhaps that's why his view on heritage is unexpected. After 40 years preserving Peranakan objects, Alvin doesn't believe younger generations need to preserve every custom to keep the culture alive. Just know who you are. When you understand where you come from, your heritage will find its own way of showing up. Together, they explore: * Growing up Peranakan without knowing what it meant. * How collecting helped Alvin understand himself. * Why heritage isn't about preserving everything. * What dying people taught him about living. * The people and experiences that shaped him. * His search for his family roots. * Why life is too short to keep waiting. Culture changes. Traditions evolve. Objects disappear. But knowing where we come from can help us understand who we are and what we choose to carry forward. Alvin's closing message is simple: Live life to the fullest. No regrets. 🎙️ About the Podcast The Clean Your Toilet Podcast explores the inner work behind identity, leadership, mastery, creativity and building a meaningful life through honest, unfiltered conversations.

    S11E05 What Will You Miss When It's Gone? | Aik Beng Chia & Lim Pei Ying | CYT Tradition & Heritage

    What will you miss when it’s gone? Maybe it’s a place you’ve walked past a thousand times. A version of Singapore you assumed would always be there. Or someone you thought you still had time with. For visual archivist Aik Beng Chia, photography isn’t about beautiful pictures. He wants the real Singapore. The uncle having coffee in an alley. The streets after dark. Ordinary people going about their lives. The moments we barely notice. In Tradition & Heritage: Compass or Shackle, Aik Beng sits down with Lim Pei Ying, ICF Master Certified Coach and Producer of the Clean Your Toilet Podcast, for a conversation that starts with photography and Singapore but becomes much more personal. Aik Beng picked up photography at 40. Entirely self-taught, he worked through design and advertising before finding his own way of seeing the world. Along the way, he got punched, kicked, scolded and even strangled for taking photographs. But behind the funny stories is a man looking back at life differently. Aik Beng talks openly about mistakes, taking people for granted and becoming so caught up in what he loved that he didn’t spend enough time with family. Today, he’s trying to live differently. See his mother more. Appreciate those who stood by him. Be kinder. Worry less about tomorrow. Because what he has is today. He only started getting his act together in his forties. Even now, he’s a work in progress. It’s never too late to change. Together, they explore: - Starting photography at 40. - Turning down Singapore Airlines for design. - Why everyone deserves another chance. - Learning to live for today. - His biggest regret about family. - Why kindness matters more now. - The risks behind candid photography. - Why everyday people are the Singapore he wants to preserve. - What he wants future generations to see. For years, Aik Beng has photographed things before they disappear. We assume the people, places and routines around us will still be there tomorrow. Until one day, they aren’t. A photograph can preserve a moment. But it can’t give you the moment back. What do we need to appreciate while it’s still here? 🎙️ About the Podcast The Clean Your Toilet Podcast explores the inner work behind identity, leadership, mastery, creativity and building a meaningful life through honest, unfiltered conversations.

    S11E04 What If the Limit Is Yours? | Louisa Raj & Lim Pei Ying | CYT Tradition & Heritage

    What if the limits holding you back aren't actually coming from anyone else? Growing up, Louisa Raj loved art. But her brother was the one everyone called talented. When her mother called him “the artist of the family,” Louisa formed a belief: Maybe art wasn't her path. So she followed another one. Good grades. University. Corporate career. Steady salary. Her ambition was to become a COO. Until she discovered painting, a new world opened up. In Tradition & Heritage: Compass or Shackle, Singaporean realism artist Louisa Raj sits down with Lim Pei Ying, ICF Master Certified Coach and Producer of the Clean Your Toilet Podcast, to explore the stories we inherit, limits we create, and lives we choose. Louisa paints ordinary things: rice packets, condensed milk, mahjong, familiar rooms and uncovers the memories they hold. A Milkmaid can takes her back to Channel 8 dramas and Milo before bedtime. A mahjong table memorializes a grandmother. A living room preserves a family's memories before the home disappears. The objects may be ordinary. The stories aren't. As Louisa learned to see differently, she began looking differently at her own life. Coming from an immigrant family, stability meant a good job and income. Becoming an artist meant redefining those values. She refused to romanticize “quit your job and follow your dreams.” She built demand first. She wanted passion but not the life of a starving artist. When she told her parents she had left her job, the reaction she feared never came. Her mother told her: “I'm very proud of you.” Some limits Louisa thought came from her upbringing were ones she had placed on herself. Together, they explore: - How childhood comments shape what we believe. - Why Louisa believed she wasn't “the artist”. - Leaving corporate life without romanticizing passion. - How ordinary objects hold memory and love. - How Asian families express love without words. - Inherited expectations vs self-imposed limits. - Questioning the life we thought we had to live. At the heart of Louisa's journey is a simple realization: There are many ways to live. Sometimes the path we don't take isn't closed to us. We've simply decided it isn't ours. If you've followed the safe path, worried about disappointing your family, or wondered whether another life is possible, this conversation is for you. The stories we inherit shape us. But they don't have to decide the lives we choose. 🎙️ About the Podcast The Clean Your Toilet Podcast explores the inner work behind identity, leadership, mastery, creativity and building a meaningful life through honest, unfiltered conversations.

    S11E03 Are You Climbing the Wrong Ladder? | Ho Yong Min & Lim Pei Ying | CYT Tradition & Heritage

    What if the ladder you've spent years climbing isn't taking you where you want to go? For 15 years, Ho Yong Min followed a conventional career path, working in higher education at NUS and SMU. Then he turned 40. COVID had reminded him how unpredictable life could be. A bigger question surfaced: Is this how I want to spend the rest of my life? In this episode of Tradition & Heritage: Compass or Shackle, Ho Yong Min, Heritage Educator from The Urbanist Singapore, sits down with Lim Pei Ying, ICF Master Certified Coach and Producer of the Clean Your Toilet Podcast, to explore success, uncertainty, purpose, entrepreneurship, and why knowing where we come from matters to where we're going. For Yong Min, one idea changed how he looked at life: The right-sized life. In Singapore, we're often conditioned to pursue more: the higher salary, next promotion, bigger life. But somewhere along that climb, he began asking: What am I climbing towards? He realized he didn't need as much as he thought to live a happy, purposeful and responsible life. With enough financial runway, he left a 15-year career and stepped into uncertainty. There was no fully formed business plan. Just a passion for Singapore's stories and the belief that within uncertainty lies possibility. Things could go terribly wrong, but they could also go terribly right. That leap became The Urbanist Singapore. Today, Yong Min tells stories hidden in plain sight: the buildings, roads and layers of Singapore we often overlook in our own backyard. Heritage is really about understanding the stories that make us us and finding belonging in the place we call home. Together, they explore: - Why turning 40 made Yong Min rethink his life. - Our conditioning to earn more and climb higher. - What it means to create a “right-sized life”. - Why uncertainty can represent possibility. - Leaving a 15-year career without a full-fledged plan. - How heritage creates cultural depth and belonging. - The loneliness and self-doubt of entrepreneurship. - What we inherit and what we pass on. Heritage comes from inheritance. Consider: What previous generations leave us makes us not simply recipients, but stewards. What will we preserve, reinterpret and pass on? Perhaps the same applies to our lives. We inherit ideas about success, work and what a “good life” should look like. But at some point, we have to decide what belongs to us. If you've questioned how much is enough, wanted to pursue something meaningful but feared the uncertainty, or wondered what connects you to home, this conversation is for you. Maybe success isn't about climbing higher. Maybe it's about knowing which ladder is yours to climb. 🎙️ About the Podcast The Clean Your Toilet Podcast explores the inner work behind identity, leadership, mastery, creativity and building a meaningful life through honest, unfiltered conversations.

    S11E02 Evolve Without Losing Yourself | Desleen Yeo & Lim Pei Ying | CYT Tradition & Heritage

    What happens when the thing you build becomes so much a part of you that you lose yourself? And what does it take to find your way back? For Desleen Yeo, Founder of YeoMama Batik, entrepreneurship was never the plan. Recovering from ankle surgery, her mother called from Yogyakarta: “Do you want to sell batik in Singapore?” Desleen said yes. What began like a school project grew into YeoMama Batik, a business modernising batik while honouring her Indonesian heritage. In this episode of Tradition & Heritage: Compass or Shackle, Desleen sits down with Lim Pei Ying, ICF Master Certified Coach and Producer of the Clean Your Toilet Podcast, to explore evolving without losing yourself. Desleen has always been someone who jumps in first and figures things out as she goes. That gave her the courage to build a business without knowing where it would lead. But it came with a price. She lost friendships. Self-care disappeared. The business became so intertwined with her identity that she could no longer separate herself from it. Even her creative voice began to disappear. Listening increasingly to customers, her designs moved away from the younger, edgier style she loved. Until feedback that the brand had become more “auntie” made her confront: Had she lost herself too? Then motherhood changed everything. Pregnancy forced Desleen to step back, trust her team, build systems and rethink being a business owner. For the first time: “I am me. The business is the business.” Stepping out helped her find herself again: her creativity, priorities and the life she wanted alongside the business. Together, they explore: * Why Desleen jumps first and figures out later. * The friendships entrepreneurship cost her. * How family gave her the foundation to take risks. * What happens when your identity becomes your business. * How customer feedback cost her creative voice. * Why motherhood changed how she lived and worked. * The shift from doing everything to becoming a business owner. * Why tradition must evolve to survive. * What she hopes to pass on to her daughter. At the heart of the conversation is a striking parallel. Desleen believes batik cannot survive frozen in its traditional form. Its essence can remain while its expression evolves We can honour where we come from without remaining who we've always been. If you've ever lost yourself in something you cared deeply about, struggled to let go, or entered a new season that changed what matters, this conversation is for you. Evolve without losing yourself. 🎙️ About the Podcast The Clean Your Toilet Podcast explores the inner work behind identity, leadership, mastery, creativity and building a meaningful life through honest, unfiltered conversations.

    S11E01 Has Singapore Lost Its Soul? | Jerome Lim & Lim Pei Ying | CYT Tradition & Heritage: Compass or Shackle

    Has Singapore lost its soul? Or has it simply evolved? Singapore has changed dramatically over the past few decades. Kampongs disappeared. Familiar neighbourhoods gave way to skyscrapers. Communities became smaller, busier, and increasingly disconnected. Beyond preserving old buildings, heritage calls out to preserving something much deeper: our identity, our stories, and our sense of belonging? In the opening episode of Season 11: Tradition & Heritage: Compass or Shackle, heritage consultant and creator of The Long and Winding Road, Jerome Lim, joins Lim Pei Ying, ICF Master Certified Coach and Producer of the Clean Your Toilet Podcast, for a conversation that goes into the soul of the nation. Together, they explore why heritage is about understanding who we are, where we come from, and what we choose to carry forward. Along the way, they unpack how community has changed, why loneliness is becoming more common despite living closer together, how modern life has reshaped our idea of home, and why remembering our stories might matter more than ever in a rapidly changing world. In this conversation, they explore: - Why Jerome once believed Singapore had lost its soul. - What heritage really means beyond old buildings and museums. - The hidden value of kampong spirit in modern society. - Why community feels harder to find today. - How globalisation reshapes identity and why roots still matter. - The surprising connection between heritage and resilience. - What "home" really means in a constantly changing world. - Why traditions should evolve instead of becoming obligations. - How stories preserve identity across generations. - What we inherit and what we choose to pass on. If you've ever... * wondered why life feels increasingly disconnected, * questioned what "home" really means, * struggled to balance modern life with your roots, * or asked yourself what kind of legacy you'll leave behind... this conversation is for you. This heritage conversation centers on carrying forward what makes us human, a much needed reflection amidst the busyness of modern life. 🎙️ About Clean Your Toilet The Clean Your Toilet Podcast explores the inner work behind leadership, identity, mastery, creativity, and living a meaningful life through honest, psychologically grounded conversations.

    We Are All Strangers at Home | Anthony Chen & Hun Ming Kwang | CYT Special 2026

    What does it mean to belong? Not just to a place or a community, but to yourself. Internationally acclaimed filmmaker Anthony Chen has spent more than a decade telling stories about family, identity and home that have resonated across the world. Yet behind every film lies a quieter journey: one of searching for belonging, purpose, and what it means to remain true to yourself. In this special episode of the Clean Your Toilet Podcast, Hun Ming Kwang sits down with Anthony Chen—writer, director and producer behind Ilo Ilo, Wet Season, Drift, The Breaking Ice, and his latest film, We Are All Strangers. The conversation unfolds into a deep one as Anthony reflects on why he has always felt like an outsider, even in the place he calls home, and how that search for belonging has quietly shaped every film he has made. Together, they explore whether greatness can be taught, why life is our greatest teacher, and the experiences that transform technical skill into wisdom. Anthony also shares the deeply personal story behind choosing filmmaking at fifteen despite criticism from relatives, the unwavering support of his mother, the existential crisis he faced in his forties, and why his wife and son have become the quiet foundation behind everything he creates. More importantly, they dive into what it means to build a life that remains true to who you are, even when the world doesn't quite understand it. Together, they explore the key themes: - Why Anthony has always felt like an outsider, even in Singapore. - Whether greatness can truly be taught. - The three qualities every exceptional filmmaker needs. - Why life's hardest moments become our greatest teachers. - The role of family in shaping who we become. - The courage to pursue an unconventional path despite criticism. - How trust, honesty, and human understanding underpin great storytelling. - The existential doubts that came with turning forty. - What keeps him creating after more than a decade of international success. If you've ever... * questioned where you truly belong, * wondered whether you're living someone else's definition of success, * struggled with self-doubt despite years of achievement, * or felt caught between ambition, family and purpose... we hope this conversation reminds you that becoming isn't about finding the perfect path. It's about having the courage to keep walking your own. 🎙️ About the Podcast The Clean Your Toilet Podcast explores the inner work behind mastery, leadership, creativity and building a meaningful life through honest, unfiltered conversations.

    The Hard Truth About Death & Letting Go | Jayine Chung, Hun Ming Kwang, Lim Pei Ying | CYT Special Seoul 2026

    This is one of those that conversations naturally find their way to places many of us spend a lifetime avoiding.In this special overseas episode filmed in Seoul, South Korea, Hun Ming Kwang and Lim Pei Ying, the team of Clean Your Toilet Podcast, sit down with Jayine Chung, Founder of Maru Production.What began as a conversation about entrepreneurship, purpose and building a life across two countries gradually unfolds into one of life's most difficult and least talked about subjects.Death.Grief.Letting go.It is a conversation many of us avoid because we don't know what to say, how to feel, or where to begin.Yet perhaps the conversations we avoid are the ones we need the most.As the conversation unfolds, Jayine shares the deeply personal experience of losing both her father and her beloved dog within months of each other, missing her father's final moments by just ten minutes, and the guilt and self-blame that quietly followed. Together, they explore why grief has no deadline, how our bodies often carry emotions long before our minds understand them, and why so many of us were never taught the emotional literacy needed to navigate life's deepest moments.This episode goes beyond grief, it's about what happens when success no longer feels like enough.It's about questioning the impact we're making, confronting imposter syndrome, recognizing the hidden roles we've been playing our whole lives, and discovering that healing isn't about becoming someone new. It begins by meeting the parts of ourselves we've never learnt to sit with.In this conversation, we explore:• Why success doesn't always bring fulfilment• The hidden cost of always being "the strong one"• Missing the people we love, and learning to live with what remains unsaid• How childhood shapes the way we relate to emotions• Why grief can surface in unexpected moments• The connection between our body, emotions and healing• Emotional literacy, and why it may be one of the most important life skills we were never taught• What it really means to let goIf you've ever...• wondered whether you're making the impact you hoped for,• carried everyone else while quietly neglecting yourself,• struggled to process emotions you couldn't fully explain,• or found yourself holding on to someone, something, or a version of yourself long after it was gone...we hope this conversation reminds you that you don't have to rush your healing.Sometimes, the deepest transformations don't begin with finding the answers.They begin with having the courage to ask better questions.---🎙️ About the PodcastThe Clean Your Toilet Podcast explores the inner work behind personal growth, leadership, and building a meaningful life through honest, unfiltered conversations.If this conversation resonated with you, we'd love to hear from you.What is one conversation you've been avoiding, and what might change if you finally had it?Share your thoughts in the comments below.And if you know someone who needs this conversation today, send it to them.
