Outer Work

​

Outer Work is the practical, physical side of transformation—the habits, environments, and daily choices that shape how you feel and how you show up in the world. Together, we focus on building structure, clarity, and confidence through intentional action.

• Weight loss — Supporting sustainable change with compassion and real‑life experience, including helping friends and guiding my 88‑year‑old grandmother to lose 30 pounds.

• Sense of style — Helping you discover a personal style that feels authentic, expressive, and aligned with who you are becoming.

• Home organization — Creating a clean, clear environment that naturally supports a calm and focused mind.

• Nutrition — Understanding what you’re truly eating and how it affects your energy, mood, and long‑term well‑being.

• Working out — Building movement routines that strengthen your body and elevate your confidence.

• Discovering your hobbies — Exploring what brings you joy, curiosity, and a sense of aliveness.

• Organizing your year — Structuring your time, goals, and commitments so your life feels intentional, full, and aligned.

 

Inner Work

​

Inner Work is where honesty, identity, and lived experience meet. I’m not a therapist, but I hold compassionate, grounded conversations shaped by real life—its complexity, its beauty, and its challenges. If you feel called to explore any of the themes below, we can walk through them together with openness and respect.
 

• Biracial / triracial identity — Navigating life as someone who is half Caucasian (American father), a quarter Malay, and a quarter Chinese (Malaysian mother).

• Being a person of color today — Exploring the realities, pressures, and pride of moving through the world in 2026.

• Relocating across countries — Born in Des Moines, lived in Kuwait, Malaysia, Dubai for 21 years, and now the U.S.—the identity shifts, the transitions, the resilience.

• Radical self‑acceptance and self‑love — Returning to yourself with compassion and truth.

• Grief — Living with the loss of my mother, the most important person in my life.

• Early childhood trauma — Navigating healing after experiencing sexual abuse by a school teacher as a child.

• The corporate world as a woman and a person of color — Understanding the unspoken rules, the challenges, and the strength it requires.

• Existential questions — The moments when life asks you to look deeper.

• Religion and spiritual identity — Growing up with a Christian father and a mother whose family is half Muslim and half Buddhist, and finding your own path within a blended spiritual landscape.
