Instagram LogoI’ve got to be honest. As much as I’ve created my dream life in 2022, it has been the HARDEST year of my life so far. There has never been a year that saw me in so much indecision, self-doubt, feeling of unworthiness, fear of uncertainty, fear of screwing up my life, to the point of breaking down multiple times in the middle of a restaurant (and strangely, all the time, in a sushi restaurant) So hey, if you’re scrolling through social media seeing all these happy 2022 reels and you’re feeling shitty going through some emotionally painful shit right now, then here’s my message to you: Your reward is coming. After every breakdown, comes a breakthrough. At the start of 2022, I was struggling with career related decisions, comparing myself with other entrepreneurs, feeling not good enough, and ignoring my heart as I listened to my head. I felt myself shrink and abandon my voice. I belittled myself. There were times I can’t stop myself from crying at the dinner table, while my parents are puzzled to what’s happening to me. In the middle of 2022, I struggled heavily with battling my own workaholism and expectations of myself, hustling to feel more worthy. I struggled with my own stifling definitions of what makes a successful entrepreneur. Towards the end of 2022, I struggled through relationships with my parents, with my partner, with myself. These moments knocked me to the ground, took out all the mental energy in me till I only had one option: SURRENDER. When I did, I experienced the wisdom of my Inner Voice guiding me. I experienced the unconditional love from my closest friends and my partner. I experienced joy, freedom, love. My income increased. My relationships deepened. My business grew. I experienced breakthroughs in my business, my relationships, my spiritual life. I started loving my life, genuinely. So rest assured, your reward is coming. You’ve done whatever you can, planned everything you’ve planned. Allow yourself to receive the guidance from your inner voice. Open your arms to receive the love around you. After every breakdown, comes a breakthrough. 🧡
Instagram Logo✨ Merry Christmas from the Own Your Voice Circle! ✨ This Christmas we enjoyed the gift of Connection — Own Your Voice peeps met each other face to face, some for the first time ever, some from across the world…! 🥹 Everyone used their voice in our special OYV Gift Pitch-Exchange, we enjoyed a private stand-up comedy performance from our in-house stand-up comic @jonathanhalim who took the step of courage to pursue stand-up comedy while he was in the oyv circle and now performs regularly outside his FT job, and we had SO MUCH FUN and laughter 🤡 I’ve so much gratitude and love for this community 🧡 This may be hard to believe, but just 4 years ago, I woke up feeling uninspired and unhappy with the path that I was on. I didn’t value my voice, I didn’t even think I had a voice, nor did I value myself. Today, I’m so extremely blessed to have created this supportive global community, where every single person can discover their unique voice through coaching and use it freely. A community for vulnerable conversations and authentic connections. A safe space to Own Your Voice. As each and every one of these people own their voice, they not just contribute to the safe space for others, they also inspire me with their story and their courage. This Christmas, my wish is for each and everyone of you to know that you’ve so much to give, so much love, so much impact in your presence, your voice and your story. You’re capable of creating the life and meeting the most wonderful people of your wildest dreams. And all you’ve to do is simply BE 🥰
