My last post sharing about myself was quite heavy. My last post sharing about myself was quite heavy. We also have some new faces here.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ So hi! Let me reintroduce myself. My name is Shirley (you can call me Shir)⁠ ⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ ➡️ Here are 10 (fun? lighter?) facts about me:⁠ ⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ 1) I'm a Taiwanese Canadian living in Vancouver⁠, BC 🍁⁠ ⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ 2) I drink tea🍵⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ 3) I like cats⁠ ⁠ (if you're a coffee and dog person, let's still be friends ok?😂 ) ⁠ ⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ 4) I'm freakin' scared of cockroaches, slugs, and caterpillars.⁠ ⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ 5) I'm an ENFP, Type 2 (according to my client Brittany😉) and my sign is Sagittarius⁠🏹⁠ ⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ 6) I loveee to snowboard! 🏂 But now that the weather is getting warmer, I'm looking forward to spending more time outdoor hiking this summer (BC has beautiful mountains & sceneries)⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ 7) I have natural deep eyebags (Really, I do get enough sleep and I like to think I was born with them)⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ 8) I'm 5 ft tall (or short)⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ 9) The next movie to watch on my list is Pride and Prejudice.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ 10) I'm kind of awkward with small talks. I like to get straight to the point. I also like to go deep and personal with you (hence, my profession suits me pretty well lol)⁠ ⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ (Also yes, this is a pic of me clinging onto my watermelon cushion 🍉)⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ Do we have anything in common? I'd love to learn about you too. 🙋‍♀️⬇️⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you have regrets, what you're doing is you're When you have regrets, what you're doing is you're living in the PAST a lot. (➡️swipe right for a snippet) ⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ You're playing scenarios in your head and beating yourself up for what you said or what you did. You still haven't forgiven your Past Self.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ One reason why you have a lot of regrets, could be because you're not actively working on yourself right now and thinking about your Future.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ ➡️ Tune in to Episode 57 on Daring Living Podcast - I breakdown why you have regrets, and how to start practicing letting them go.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ Link in bio to Listen or search "Daring Living Podcast" on Apple Podcast, Spotify or any podcast platform.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ ALSO, we just hit over 10,000 downloads on the podcast🎊😍 Thanks for all your love and support over the past 2 years.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ And now, here's to the NEXT 10,000 more downloads 🥂👊⁠ woohoooo ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
HEY I'm Shirley!🙋‍♀️ (You can also call m HEY I'm Shirley!🙋‍♀️ (You can also call me Shir)⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ Here's a "brief" 😅 story about me :⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ Before I started geeking out on personal development/ mental health and later becoming a Life Coach, I spent about 5~ ish years before that wanting to work in marketing.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ I thought everything was all set. That I've found my path. ⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ Until the 1st week of my 9-5 job when I realized that this wasn't exactly how I imagined.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ Something felt off. It's as if I was missing something. ⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ But I still persisted (thinking that I should be more disciplined and that I'll get used to this work soon. I ended up doing marketing for 2 more years)⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ And it never got easier. ⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ I thought something was wrong with me.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ Because on the outside I seemed fine.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ But internally, I was drowning.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ ( I later come to realize it was high-functioning anxiety & depression )⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ I was lost, confused, anxious, insecure.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ I hated myself. I didn't like my job. I wasn't being present with my family, friends, and relationships. Everything felt like - what's the point?⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ I was depressed, numb, and extremely guilty (for feeling this way), and I didn't know how to express it or get out of this hole.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ To this day, I still like to think that Life Coaching found me (like literally, an idea was dropped into my head that I should look for a Life Coach and become one myself 🤯)⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ What happened after that was a rigorous period of seriously "working on myself", diving into my healing, shredding a lot of my self-sabotaging patterns/ habits, getting certified, working with other coaches on my own growth and building up my business.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ It was definitely not always easy. Even to this day too.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ Some days I still have existential crisis and have no idea what the F I'm doing. 😅⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ But now I have the tools. I have the skills. And I have the experience.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ And I have a slightly more "managed" brain and I know how to process my emotions compared to before.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ (continued in comments)
My fingers hovered above the keyboard for a while. My fingers hovered above the keyboard for a while. I hesitated hitting publish for everyone on the internet to read what I'm about to share.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ Immediately after I hit Enter, a wave of shame washed over me:⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ Shir, no one cares about you.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ I can't believe you just did that.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ No one wants to hear what you have to say.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ Who do you think you are?⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ Yet despite the cluster of critical voices that my primitive brain keeps feeding me,⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ Somehow I still found that quiet, soft voice deep within whispering:⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ Hey, you did it.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ You spoke what you wanted to say.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ You spoke - out LOUD.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ That was almost 2 years ago... when I announced that I was going to become a life coach.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ Since then, every time when I share my thoughts online, it's simply been a practice of expecting the immediate wave of critical thoughts... and then finding that quiet whisper within and seeking comfort there.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ Sometimes these critical voices are much quieter (because I've had practice). Other times, it's still as loud as ever. And even then, I almost always still hit publish. Because really, I've just had lots and lots of practice.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ If you're building an online community or practicing sharing your thoughts with others - whether it's online or in person⁠ ⁠ ... know that it's NOT supposed to be easy.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ Voicing out your opinions and asking to be heard can be very uncomfortable.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ It can be nerve-wrecking.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ Your brain will think you're gonna die.⁠😅 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ (continued in the comments)
Your life is not going to be happy and positive al Your life is not going to be happy and positive all the time.⁠ (swipe right for episode snippets➡️)⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ Both positive and negative experiences co-exist together, no matter where you are.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ ➡️ You will always have problems. You will also always have things to celebrate and feel good about.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ In this week's podcast episode, I talk about allowing DUALITY to exist in your life (life is 50-50) and what this concept really means... ⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ And some scenarios where you'll resist negative and positive emotions, and how to truly allow yourself to embrace ALL that life has to offer.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ 🎙️Search "Daring Living Podcast" on any Podcast Platform to listen to the full episode. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ Or click the link in my bio to tune in.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Coaching is not about me telling you what to do.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ It's about me giving you the tools🔧, teaching you how to manage your thoughts 🧠 and feelings💚, and helping you trust yourself more and more⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ as you become more certain and empowered to make your own decisions and move towards where you want to be.💪⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ This is an internal transformation.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ You feel the result within.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ And it just happens that these changes also overflow EXTERNALLY to improve...⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ ➡️ how you work⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ ➡️ how you behave around your partner⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ ➡️ how you interact with your friends⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ ➡️ how much money you make, spend, & save⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ ➡️ how you take care of yourself⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ ➡️ how much time you spend on your passion hobbies ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ ➡️ and how you build the habits you actually want to have⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ So if you want to create deep lasting changes within yourself and also seeing external changes in your life....⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ Then I am ya coach. ✌️⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ Let's make your journey filled with more fun, love and joy.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ You get to feel good about yourself right now, doesn't matter where you are.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ Msg me to book in a chat today, and see for yourself how powerful coaching can truly be. 👊⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠
