I come from a typical Filipino-Chinese household, where the path was clear: study, get a degree, marry, and continue the family business. From a young age, I followed my curiosity and intuition, seeing the world differently than my community. I earned a degree in interior design, built a career, and even started a small online business. Yet, like many, I faced confusion, emotional instability, anxiety, and inner pressure.

In 2022, my desire to explore beyond my upbringing led me on a year-and-a-half backpacking journey around the world. I met the Dalai Lama in India, practiced Vipassana meditation in Nepal, wandered the ancient streets of Jerusalem, and explored Jordan, Georgia, Armenia, and more—immersing myself in diverse cultures, religions, and ways of life, and connecting with people from different perspectives. These experiences shaped me, gave me wisdom, and taught me tools I now share with others.

It was during this journey that I felt called to act on my life purpose: sharing the knowledge and tools I’ve gathered along the way, and guiding others to navigate their own paths with clarity and support.
