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 spent a whole month so far in a country halfway across the world from me, where I know NOBODY except my partner, who works 9-6 as a stop motion animator. So… I found myself gently placed outside my comfort zone of Singapore, a country where you’ll probably meet at least one person you know […]

Two weeks ago, I found myself at a private Oscars viewing party in Portland. This was me the entire night to anyone I am conversing with: “OMG EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE WON!!!! (not that I’m surprised)” Watching the Oscars live and witnessing history in the making just hits different. Not only is this film so magnificent, but […]

I hated my life and tried so hard to be somebody else. Now, I’m living the life of my dreams. Hello! This is my first ever blog post, so I thought hey — let me share with you how I came to do the work I do today.  When I was a little girl, I […]
