Just last week, a client remarked “Rae, you’re so sharp! You’re able to ask me the right questions and surface my unconscious thoughts.” and yet — just this morning I find myself spiralling in an existential crisis in the middle of my workout class, a crashing of uncomfortable emotions and difficult thoughts came down all […]

The subtle shifts in energy you observe in your body. The fulfilment and pride in observing yourself evolve, in the way you show up, think, reflect, speak, and respond to your fears and doubts. The peace you feel deep in your core when you make decisions aligned to you, when you say yes or no […]

How does love feel like? I ask myself this question quite often, maybe because I’ve always received acts of love, but rarely experience the feeling of love itself. I see my dad cook dinner for us every single day, and go out of his way to buy back lunch, even if it’s inconvenient. My mom […]

I hate to be the bearer of hard truth. But then again, if you’re reading this, you’re used to it. Here’s the thing: most leaders will never become influential leaders. Not because they lack talent or opportunities, but because they avoid doing the deeper inner work that true influence requires. But I know you’re not […]

Today, if someone asks me why I do what I do, I’m very clear — I guide rising leaders to own their voice to magnify their impact. I say it with so much conviction I feel it deep within my core. Many people find it hard to believe that just 5 years ago, I had […]

Let me tell you the story of the time I bypassed by own voice and inner knowing to follow someone else’s advice. Actually, it has been 2 times. And it caused me a whole lot of suffering… but resulted in a whole lot of learning. When I was 20, I met my first mentor, and […]

“Rae, do you still experience fear when it comes to using your voice?” — I get asked this question so often. And my response is… a resounding YES. I do. I still fear: But it’s in these moments that I anchor myself on a vision greater than my fear, knowing that with every post I […]

“You can heal a recent wound, but if you haven’t come to terms with your past wounds, you can be sure those wounds will turn into scars that will continue to define you.” Reflecting on my years of self-coaching and reflection, I’ve realised this: Whatever we try to AVOID, is where the real work needs […]

Have you ever thought — “Ah, when I move to a new company, I have to prove myself all over again” It gets frustrating when you have to “restart” building your reputation and relationships when you enter a new working environment. But do you really have to? Thing is, building your personal brand intentionally would […]

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 […]
