Her parents came to the States from the Philippines in the 1960s. Her dad's Chinese, her mom's Filipino, and they landed in Milwaukee where she was born.

Join us as we share our stories and

hear from business leaders, generational

22

00:01:12,075 --> 00:01:16,325

pioneers, and experts, as we discuss

the personal, relational, and

23

00:01:16,325 --> 00:01:21,355

professional challenges we, immigrants

and children of immigrants face.

24

00:01:22,195 --> 00:01:26,225

If you're feeling stuck in life and

unsure how to move forward, we hope

25

00:01:26,225 --> 00:01:29,775

you'll be inspired to make discoveries

of your own, find alignment with your

26

00:01:29,775 --> 00:01:32,495

values, and motivate yourself into action.

27

00:01:33,115 --> 00:01:36,455

We're here to demonstrate the

power of coaching and its myriad

28

00:01:36,473 --> 00:01:38,615

applications in different life stages.

29

00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,250

Every one of us has a story, or

multiple stories, and in each

30

00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,660

episode we share our own stories and

personal experiences dealing with

31

00:01:47,670 --> 00:01:49,840

the challenges so many of us face.

32

00:01:50,539 --> 00:01:55,400

Then, we overlay that with the coach's

eye and give you tools, tips, learnings,

33

00:01:55,439 --> 00:01:58,050

and insights that we hope might help you.

34

00:01:58,990 --> 00:02:03,430

Perhaps you're an immigrant in a new

country facing challenges alone, or

35

00:02:03,430 --> 00:02:08,199

maybe you're inundated with opinions and

expectations about who you're supposed

36

00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:10,150

to be and how you're supposed to live.

37

00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:15,070

Regardless of your struggles, where

you're from, what you've been through,

38

00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:21,770

and how far you've come, we are here to

make the journey forward a little easier.

39

00:02:23,339 --> 00:02:29,656

Get ready to break personal, cultural

or generational barriers that get in the

40

00:02:29,683 --> 00:02:35,335

way of being the best version of yourself

and living the best version of your life.
