Building Community
Creating connections that feel uplifting, supportive, and fun
Dear subscriber, listener, reader, and friend,
I’ve been sharing my journey with you and you’ve been a witness to it. Thank you for supporting me and lifting me up – it is a privilege to be seen. I would like to get to know more of you because it feels one-sided when I’m the only one sharing. I also want each of you to get to know each other because I think some of you may find deep friendships with one another. Your feedback on my content has let me see that you are all extracting different takeaways from my writings and podcasts that are relevant to you. For instance, you found resonance in areas such as relationships, healing, emotions, entrepreneurship, spirituality, etc. It surprises me what each of you get from my shares and that it could be interpreted through so many lenses!
I now have a deeper understanding of the gift to be seen and heard through your support. I realize that having a community to witness each other and hold each other is deeply nourishing and healing. Now, I want to create space for those who can’t find places to voice what is going on for them. When I started my healing journey, I felt so alone in my world, navigating a foreign landscape by myself without any real knowledge of who or what was truly good for me. I made a bunch of mistakes, I was re-traumatized, and I struggled immensely to get to where I am today. I want it to be easier for you. I want to create a space where evolving, healing, growing, and creating doesn’t have to feel so lonely and hard. I want us to have a place to speak vulnerably and be held not just by me, but by a community because truthfully, I cannot hold space for all that needs to be witnessed alone. We are stronger as a whole.
I welcome you to my community. In particular, Asian ladies and gentlemen, young and old, those based in the East and those based in the West. We can only bridge generational and cultural gaps when different generations and those brought up within various cultures are in a place sitting together in a community to share what they’re going through and healing, listening, and truly understanding one another together, not in silos.
I can’t create a nourishing community on my own. I need you too. I hope we’ll create one together that feels uplifting, supportive, and fun for all of us. I welcome you to join me for my 1st virtual community call. It’ll be 1 hour of sharing, connection, maybe some tears and laughs, and Q&A.
Event Details below:
Date and Time — Friday, May 24th: 6PM PST, 9PM EST (United States) / Saturday, May 25th: 11AM AEST (Australia), 9AM (China)

I’m feeling the desire to build a nourishing community because a lot of us want to feel more deeply connected, seen, heard, and supported. This is a space for you to be able to speak what you’ve been holding in, to be vulnerable to share what is on your heart. I will prepare questions and/or a theme for each of you to reflect on and answer during each event; however, feel free to share anything that you have a desire to be seen about. Some topics/themes we may touch on are relationships, healing, emotions, entrepreneurship, spirituality, etc. I ask that all participants have their video cameras on during this call because it helps foster connection when we can see each other’s faces; after all, half of communication is non-verbal! Everyone who joins this call will have a chance to share whether as a whole or in smaller groups.
