Why Can’t You Become A Best-selling Author?
I was sitting across from my Mom eating sushi.
I was trying to explain my coaching business to her and how I use social media to promote my offerings.
She disapprovingly looks away as I speak mid-sentence.
We sit in silence for the rest of dinner.
She completely shut off as if I had just told her I had murdered someone.
Because her expectations of my life were not even close to where she painted my future to be, and that felt like death. (Can you relate?)
But to me, I always knew that I was the artist of my life.
I was the one holding the paintbrush taking strokes as I felt called to by intuitive pings or universal ones.
I always listened to my greatest desire of doing what my dreams have called me to.
This is how I had a successful fashion design career working at Tommy Hilfiger, Marc Jacobs, and Tory Burch, with zero support from my family.
This moment with my mom has happened over and over again since I chose to pursue fashion design in college.
An energetic silence filled with disappointment and unwillingness to look at me as my own person with my own aspirations outside of the Cambodian culture.
But I continued anyway without her validation from last summer of 2021, moving forward as a memoir writing coach to teach workshops, meet dream clients, and reach over one million people on TikTok with my stories of healing complex trauma.
And now I look back at that moment with my mom, and I say to myself…I never needed her support…because I can choose to receive support from the community I have built from being my fully expressed self in the world.
I trust myself and the universe to lead me to places I dare to envision.
This is the energy I have carried on my own to make it in the fashion industry and now in my career as a writer, which led me to:
10 podcast interviews
Over 100k Article Reads
Literary agent connection waiting for my book proposal
7 Writing Workshops
Nearly 30K TikTok followers
Screenwriting for a TV show
This all happened when I changed my career in August of 2020.
I stepped into a state of uncertainty, and everything became available to me because I had a dream to become a writer, publish my book, and be witnessed for everything I am.
And this is what I help you achieve as your memoir writing coach.
