S4E5: Ferlyn G on Owning Her Truth and Finding Strength in 'Emerald Hill'

In this episode, Joanne Peh sits down with actress and former K-pop idol Ferlyn G, whose journey from the glittering stages of Korea to the emotionally raw world of Emerald Hill – The Little Nyonya Story reveals a deep, personal evolution. Ferlyn stars as Zhou Hongyu in Emerald Hill – The Little Nyonya Story, a complex character shaped by pain, power, and the need to survive. But as Ferlyn shares, portraying this role wasn’t just acting — it was therapy. In confronting her character’s trauma, she began to confront her own. What followed was a powerful process of release, reflection, and rebuilding. Together, Ferlyn and Joanne dive into the cost of staying silent, the fear of being misunderstood, and how art can become a mirror for healing. What does it mean to speak your truth in a world that often rewards performance over authenticity? And how do we hold space for ourselves when the world only sees what’s on the surface? Tune in to hear Ferlyn’s raw, thoughtful reflections on identity, recovery, and the quiet bravery it takes to live — and act — with truth.t strength that define Ferlyn’s performance — and the woman behind it.

Ep 6: How to Change Careers and Make that Scary Leap with Parin Mehta

In episode six of the podcast, we talk to Parin Mehta, former Managing Director for APAC at Airbnb and current Venture Partner at Menyala, about the intimidating topic of career transitions. Changing careers can be daunting, especially if you have invested a significant amount of time and effort in your current one. That process requires us to leave our comfort zone. We use the Learning Zone Model to illustrate the various "zones" outside our "comfort zone": the "fear" zone, "learning" zone, and lastly, the "growth" zone. Parin uses his own career change journey from Airbnb to Menyala as an example of how he left his comfort zone, braved through the fear zone, embraced the learning zone and moved to the growth zone; breaking through each zone in order to reach the next level. Importantly, we also discuss the differences between changing jobs and changing careers, and what it takes to delve into a whole new professional industry, leaving behind a career with years of experience to learn new skills and explore new experiences. Parin is also an executive coach for leadership development. He shares about his journey to becoming one, and how he has helped fellow founders in navigating through uncertain and fearful times. If you are thinking of a career change and contemplating on taking that leap, this episode will give you some clarity and confidence in making that key decision.

Sharon Au, one of Singapore’s beloved TV personalities, was at the height of her fame when all of a sudden she shocked everyone by walking away. Trading the glitz and glamour of show business, in 2005 she flew to Japan to further her studies.

Just as she thought she had settled, she packed up once again and moved to Paris, stepping yet into another new adventure– completely on her own terms. What drives her to keep reinventing herself? What did she gain (and lose) in the process? And what can we all learn from her fearless approach to starting over?
