    Ep. 36: Permission to Become a Healing Practitioner with Liz Andolong

    Liz Andolong is a first generation Filipina American, first to complete a college degree and first to go into the healing arts profession in her family. In this episode, we unwrapped her life journey of unpacking the different identities and hats she’s worn, her journey to seek spirituality, how she came to reclaim her cultural identity and identity as a woman, and finally how her own health crisis led to her work in energy healing, trauma-informed work, and ultimately as a healing practitioner and teaching at Esalen Institute. I hope you will enjoy this conversation! About Liz:  Liz Andolong is a healing arts practitioner, facilitator, and intuitive educator who is passionate about holding spaces for folks to do less and feel more. It is within this space — or what she likes to call “the sacred pause” — that she believes folks are able to truly tap into the limitless healing power that is accessible within themselves through body centered experiences like nervous system regulation, energy work, subtle body exploration, somatic emotional release, and guided visualization. She believes every body possesses the power and the responsibility to heal themselves. A certified Usui Reiki Master, E-RYT200, and former teacher-in-residence at the Esalen Institute, Liz guides you from the outside in, in hopes you discover the infinite ways our bodies are our greatest teachers.

    Ep. 35: Permission to Become an Integral Coach with Aerin Lim

    In this episode, I interviewed Aerin Lim, a coach, writer, storyteller, and teacher at the Hoffman Institute. Aerin was born and grew up in Korea. Before Aerin embarked on her spiritual journey, she followed the path of achieving material success, getting an Ivy League degree at Brown University, taking up prestigious roles in Investment Banking in NYC and later at tech startups and venture fund companies in the Silicon Valley. However, her world was shaken up when we lost her mother to cancer, led her to begin a profound journey of self-discovery, healing, and transformation. Her experiences led her to create her own map of healing that incorporated different modalities of healing and carved her unique path to serve, surrender, and channel her passion into writing, coaching, and teaching. She shared with us how she found her personal mission statement, how she recommitted to her path over and over again, despite fear, her daily process to stay spiritually grounded, the one question she asks herself everyday to stay on course, what wholeness means to her, and how she engages with her meditation process to be in touch with extraordinary consciousness in the present moment. I hope you will enjoy this episode!! About Aerin:  Aerin is a coach, writer, storyteller and teacher at the Hoffman process. She inquires, explores, and holds space for others’ unfolding. She is driven by her curiosity to understand consciousness, people, and the world so we take care of each other collectively as a community. Her personal mission is to meditate, play, and serve. She hopes to make our world brighter by deepening our presence and elevating our well-being through coaching, teaching, and authentic storytelling.

    Ep. 34: Permission to Become a Dating Clarity Coach with Kat Nieh

    This is a special Valentine’s Day edition episode where I am sharing my conversation with Dating Clarity Coach Kat Nieh. Prior to becoming a dating clarity coach, Kat worked at a fast growing tech startup. While she was passionate about her work and her company’s mission, she found herself burnt out and searching for something more to life. This sparked her journey of self-discovery, where she learned to surrender to the process of becoming, taking responsibility for the life she wanted to create, to explore what it means to be a woman, to be Asian, to grow up bicultural, to be a creative, to let go of her tech job and labels she has attached herself to. Since she gave herself the permission to embark on her personal evolution, Kat became an NLP Master Practitioner, award-winning author, speaker, writer, and fulfilled her dream of traveling to all 7 continents within 12 months. More importantly, we talked about how she stepped into her own femininity and was called to channel her own passion into her current as a dating clarity coach, to help others step into conscious relationships and be transformed in the process.  Also, given the timely release of this episode before Valentine’s Day. Kat just released her latest guided journal called "Love Vision Clarity" on Amazon.

About Kat: Kat Nieh is a dating clarity coach that empowers frustrated and discouraged singles to get clear about who and what they want in a relationship to manifest their partner.

Now she passionately brings her years of knowledge and expertise to guide her clients in boosting their self confidence, elevating their dating perspective, and taking aligned actions towards co-creating their dream relationship.

    In this episode, we dove into the life journey of a spiritual teacher and seeker, Jovinna Chan, through the many seasons of her personal evolution, from immigrating to America to study global marketing in Louisiana, then moving to New York City to pursue her passion for theater, arts, and dance by moonlighting as an actress and dancer while working in her day job at CitiGroup. Her life took another turn when her life circumstances led her to pursue her spiritual path and she ended up devoting 8 years to study yoga at the Kripalu Yoga Center.

    Ep. 31: Permission to Become a Creative Novelist with Kyla Zhao

    It was the summer of 2020, at the height of the pandemic, Kyla Zhao (@kylazhao) was living alone in California while completing her last year at Stanford University. Being all alone for months and not being able to unite with her family in Singapore led her to turn to books for comfort. During the height of anti-Asian racism, Kyla realized that many of the books she read did not feature characters of color with whom she could relate to. This realization inspired Kyla to write her own book—one that features an entirely Asian cast of characters and is set in her hometown of Singapore. Although Kyla never thought she would publish her book, after completing her entire draft in 3 months, she eventually found an amazing agent and publisher who believed in her story and in Asian representation. In this interview with Kyla, she shares with us her journey to becoming a creative novelist, from her early exposure working at fashion magazines such as Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and Tatler, how the pandemic inspired her to write her first novel, how she managed to complete her draft in 3 months, how she found an agent who believed in her work and eventually received multiple offers from major book publishers, and finally her tips and advice for aspiring Asian American female writers! About Kyla:  Kyla is a lifestyle writer, fashion journalist, and author of her first debut novel, The Fraud Squad, a story about a working-class woman who worked her way into high society in order to get her dream job at a posh magazine and the world that unfolded from there. She grew up in Singapore and moved to California to attend Stanford University and majored in psychology and communications. She graduated in 2021 and has been working at a tech company in Silicon Valley since. But before that, she worked at several fashion magazines such as Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and Tatler, which brought her up close with the glitz and glamor of high society. In addition to The Fraud Squad, she has two more books coming out in the next two years, another adult novel and a children’s novel.

    Ep. 29: Elena Chen, Permission to Create Self-Worth

    In this episode, I invited Elena Chen onto the podcast.  Elena is a lead product manager for Google Play Points Rewards, the loyalty program of Google Play, a multi-billion dollar marketplace. Outside of work, she is passionate about sharing her learnings about PM leadership and people empowerment with a broader audience. She is an ICF-certified leadership coach and a Youtuber. Prior to Google, she was an investment banker at J.P. Morgan and Credit Suisse. She holds an MBA and a Master of Education degree from Stanford University. I loved Elena's radical honesty, humility and self-awareness that transpired through this episode, as we chatted about her "typical Chinese upbringing", working in the finance world and finding herself not happy nor fulfilled, going on the soul-searching journey that eventually led her to Stanford GSB, starting a coaching business, and being a Product Manager at Google. More importantly, we talked about her inner journey of wrestling with her tension between her need for safety and spaciousness and balancing her analytical, problem-solving nature with her empathy and creativity. Finally, Elena shared with us her secret to building self-worth that completely changed her life.  Links:  Youtube Channel: All You Can Lead Website: https://elenachen.co/ This podcast episode is sponsored by Audible: Go to https://www.audibletrial.com/permissiontobecome to get 1 month free trial!
