My Story
From Survival Mode to Purpose
At 13, I moved to Singapore for school. Days later, my grandmother passed away suddenly. I was hit with a silent guilt, feeling that my parents had missed her final moments because they were dropping me off to start a new life. To repay that debt, I made a vow to be the perfect daughter.
For a decade, I became a relentless high achiever, using stress as my only fuel for success. That pressure eventually showed up physically. I was diagnosed with two brain cysts while studying in Shanghai and developed a severe panic disorder. Three days after graduation, at age 21, I stepped into a high pressure leadership role while still carrying the weight of constant panic.
I continued living in survival mode until my body finally forced a knockout. For more than six months, I suffered from vestibular vertigo and severe anxiety, with no doctor able to find the cause.
That was my turning point. I refused to spend my life relying on medication just to get through the day. In 2019, I discovered the neuroscience of the brain body connection through the work of Dr. Joe Dispenza. In 2023, I found clinical hypnosis, the final key to reaching the subconscious programs I had been running since childhood.
After two years of deep personal transformation, I realized: if I could shift out of 20 years of survival mode, anyone can, and it doesn't have to take a lifetime.
