I know what it’s like to hold a role where everything visible is working. I also know the questions that don’t stop for the working parts: Am I doing this right? What if I fail? What if I succeed — and can’t sustain it?
I’ve been through supportive environments and difficult ones. I’ve been through layoffs.
Where I come from
Knew What Was Expected Before Things Were Said
I grew up in Hong Kong as the eldest daughter in a traditional Chinese family,
where expectations were often understood before they were spoken.
There was a way to behave. A way to do things properly. A way to be the responsible eldest daughter.
I learned to read what was needed, adapt quickly, and carry responsibility seriously. I also learned to keep moving even when something didn’t fully feel right.
Wondering Why It Still Didn’t Quite Land
From the outside, everything looked stable.
Internally, there were questions I didn’t stop to answer. They didn’t stay contained to work — they moved through roles, relationships, expectations.
Expectations that weren’t aligned. Things that were felt but not said. Roles that no longer fits but still shaped decisions.
You can keep moving forward and still feel something is off.
The Question Nobody Had Asked Me
What changed wasn’t an answer. It was a question.
What do you actually want — not what you’re supposed to want?
I had spent decades reading what other people needed. I had almost no practice reading what I wanted.
Sitting with that question, properly, is what led to everything after it.
What Became Clear
These experiences shaped what I now focus on most: rebuilding career and identity after disruption, women navigating tech and competing loyalties, and sensitive leaders learning to lead from depth rather than apologize for it.
I trained at Erickson Coaching International and built the P.A.T.H.™ framework out of both halves of that experience.
What looks like a single problem is rarely just one thing. It’s how things connect — or don’t.
I don’t work from theory about transition. I work from having been inside one — the version where everything looks fine from outside and the questions don’t stop for the working parts.
It’s why I notice the expectations you haven’t named, the roles that stopped fitting but still shape your decisions, the translation you’re doing between worlds that nobody sees.
It’s also why I’ll ask more than I’ll tell. Being handed answers wasn’t what helped me.
What helped was someone asking what I actually wanted — and not letting me answer with what I was supposed to want.
That’s the question we’d start with.
Free. 30 minutes. No pitch.
If it isn’t a fit, I’ll say so and point you toward what I can.
