It’s been a while since I’ve spoken about “Overcoming the Fear of Speaking Up or Public Speaking.” I believe all of us want to use our voice for something. Without fear, we would be speaking our truth and advocating for ourselves. We want to use our voice. I’ve never heard of someone telling me “no, […]

I hate to be the deliverer of cold hard truth, but I promise, read till the end and you’ll realise this is good news. We’re living in a time where simply having adequate skillset and knowledge is no longer enough in this world. Someone else with the same skillsets can be hired in your place, […]

Recently I read this quote: “Good things DON’T take time.” It deeply resonated with me and felt like a breath of fresh air. “Good things take time” and “don’t worry you’re still young!” are probably the two most common statements I’ve received. And while it’s said to me with good intentions, it almost feels like […]

For the past 2 days I have been…. Starting the journey of upgrading myself as a coach! Getting my International Coaching Federation (ICF) coaching certification. 2 full days of training, peer-to-peer coaching practice, and meeting amazing course-mates from various professions and wealth of life experience. I’ve fallen even deeper in love with coaching. To study […]

“I’m indecisive. I’m terrible at making decisions.” I felt this about myself for the longest time. It is the decisions that seem utterly life-changing that torment me. Which university course to choose? Should I stay or leave a business partnership that feels misaligned to me yet very beneficial to my career? Do I stay persistent […]

Transiting into Adulthood: A LONELY JOURNEY – or really? Yes and No. I’ve noticed that for some people, they feel lonelier as they transition into adulthood. Many say that Entrepreneurship is a lonely journey – is this really true? My journey as an entrepreneur started at 20. For 3 years, I did all I could […]

Did you know that I was once a soft-spoken girl full of self-doubt, that secretly had big dreams but didn’t think she could achieve them? I wanted to be an actress, a singer, wanted to own my own business and live life on my own terms. But I looked around and realised that the people […]

When I was younger, I was SUCH a try-hard. I wanted to be in the popular clique. I wanted to be liked and accepted. I tried so hard to speak and act like the cool kids. Deep down, I didn’t think I was good enough to have friends who loved me completely. As I delved […]

I’ve a confession – and this one is something I do beat myself up for sometimes. One of my fears is being seen as irresponsible / flaky when it comes to the content I “promise to create”. 2.5 years ago in the midst of the pandemic I declared I was going to do a regular […]

We tell ourselves “I need to have more experience to earn the right to speak up” or “I’m just not a speak on video kind of person” or “I’m just not good at speaking” — we learn these beliefs from our experiences and they rule our life. The first step to healing and growth is […]

15 year old Rae could never imagine that she’d be producing and hosting her own talkshow now, speaking on bigger stages, and have the honour to share her journey. I grew up being the insecure kid who would hide her voice away. I got average grades at best, and to me, only the smart kids […]

“I’m just tired” — that’s the response I get from most young people when I ask them how they are doing. Either that or I can see it on their faces so clearly – they look exhausted. As I speak to more people who are in different phases of life, I start seeing a trend […]

44.6 degree celcius heat – That’s how hot it was in Thailand last weekend, and Thailand’s Meteorological Department warned that the heat will continue into the week. Hearing about this felt especially horrifying as I caught up with Andrea T. Edwards since she and her family is actually based in Thailand now. In fact, The Guardian […]
