All About Me
I am amazed at the endless possibilities you can do in this world as long as you got confidence, curiosity, positivity, and are not afraid to fail and make a fool of yourself. This is how I choose to see the world and live by. I am a firm believer you create your own reality, so welcome to mine. This is my story.
With my Vietnamese and Chinese heritage, I have been hardworking since I was 15, born with discipline and numbers are my best friend. But it has also made me an outcast when going to a very white Norwegian school. Which in retrospect has taught me to not give a fuck what other people think, find my values, cherish being unique, and gave me the backbone to truly be weird and do what I want.
I am profoundly grateful for the privilege of living in Norway and the support of my white, conservative, and mid-wealthy grandparents. Yet, my true privilege lies in the unwavering love and acceptance from my mother and family. This foundation has given me the confidence to trust myself and pursue my goals with determination. I have seen that you can truly achieve whatever you set your mind to.
Creativity and responsibility are at the core of who I have become. While my time at BI Norwegian Business School provided a standardized education in Entrepreneurship and Economics, entrepreneurship was rather something I was born to do. (Possible to insert star alignment reasons here) My passion lies in seeing solutions, driving efficiency, and creating—whether it’s building businesses, organizing events, or fostering community. I am, unequivocally, a creator.
Leadership is a role I naturally embody, often unwillingly. Founding my first business at 27, taught me that the true challenge of leadership is not the workload itself, but the responsibility that comes with it; the weight of decisions, the constant problem-solving, and constant underlying stress. Over time, I’ve learned that everything takes time, knowing when to push and when to surrender, learning to trust in your employees individuality, and how to ask for help. For me, leadership is about balancing femininity and masculinity with a strong dose of empathy and radical thinking, while rejecting the rigid patriarchal hierarchies that dominate many industries.
My leadership philosophy is to recognise individual talents and provide the freedom to experiment, fail, and thrive. Where my role is to offer support, love, a community, and motivation. Contrary to conventional wisdom, I blend business and pleasure, inviting friends, dates, and lovers into my ventures. This approach nurtures empathy, joy, and a sense of ownership. Here is effective communication paramount, fostering an environment where everyone feels empowered to express their needs, boundaries, and emotions, and learning how to solve conflicts through somatic practices that build relationships. I have come to the conclusion I am building communities and chosen cultural families, not corporate businesses. I am building a space with a deeper sense of meaning, a healthy impact on our society and creating a reality that I can be proud of.
Authenticity guides my path. I listen to my body and instincts, approaching decisions with a logical and straightforward mindset, which is mainly liberated from shame or stigma. However, understanding others people's emotions and energy is something that didn't come naturally to me and is a continuous learning process for me. For example How to hold space for others people feelings, how to hold my own feelings, and how to ask for what I need. Most challenging has been dealing with inter conflict that is not about you, but still effects you. Going through extensive somatic therapy has helped a lot in 2023, and I am eager to learn more! At the end of the day, I trust my gut feeling and embrace mistakes as vital learning opportunities. Who really defines what is good and what is bad? It's all about perspective.
My love language is action. I have been told if you want to be my friend you have to work with me because that is the only time you will see me. My love language is through actions, prioritizing quality time, physical contact, food and giving a helping hand. Inviting someone into my business world signifies trust and a desire for a meaningful relationship. Work is my life and I live to work because I love my work. My goal is to delegate more, allowing myself time to relax and practice the art of doing nothing. In the recent past, it looks more like a rollercoaster of intense work and then intense pleasure. I had often have 16 hours days, and balanced it out with a month tropical vacation. What I am currently working on is to scheduling down time, recognising that life is not solely about productivity, and prioritising enjoyment, sensations, pleasure, connection, and different forms of liberation.
Watch me build, fail, grow, and create. Watch me take over the world, no wait that is too much responsibility, hehehe. Watch me create my own world of true pleasure, sensations, connection, and liberation.
