Becoming a Life Coach
What inspired Lily to become a life coach? In 2005, I experienced the first rebirth of my life. I was inspired by my role models and those who believed in me. They shared their support, curiosity, and excitement toward my transformation of who I am today. They simply asked thought provoking questions, listened with an open mind, and cheered me on. By having the right support system in place, I was able to reconnected with myself and confidence to change. I want to support those who are ready for a change and embrace their life rebirth.

It was a crazy time. My life under a microscope and I questioned everything. I had a stable job with the same company for many years and experienced burnout, stuckness, and lack of passion toward my 9 to 5 work. I had a nurturing and young partnership of thirteen years which evolved into a marriage. I had a familiar routine, family structure, and physical space.

What are your triggers to want change?


Why did I take the leap? Because my heart took the lead to find my "you-ness", which then challenged my whole belief system, cultures, and the perspective of the world and my upbringing. I had an endless list of "Why" questions that I didn't have answers to. I was afraid of my immediate family and friends. I was worried about the disappointments, judgements, and disapprovals of the changes I wanted for myself. Especially my mother, who wanted what was best for me and spoke within the context of her own life experiences and belief system.

What is the leap you are trying to take? What are you waiting for?

Why is this important? Because this is my life. My safe and familiar world was fallling apart. I was the root cause of the assumptions and internal pressures on the "right" decision. I wanted to understand my life choices and where I was going. I felt challenged when I tried to lean and trust my "you-ness" because I didn't know who that person was.

No matter how uncomfortable my life felt at the time, I still had a choice to resist or embrace the change. I learned to let go and allowed my life to take its natural course. I asked myself the basic question of "What do I really want?", wrote the answer on a slip of paper, and placed inside a wooden wish box. I wrote, "I want to be happy, to find self-happiness, to find courage and strength, to know who I am, to know it's never too late to change." I spent many of those crazy nights opening the box and reading the intentions out loud to myself. I challenge you to choose yourself and answer that very question.

What do you really want? Why?


Where did I go to find my answers? There were powerful connections with my role models and my "you-ness" which reaffirmed that I was exactly where I was suppose to be, at the perfect time, and space.

Q: (Lily) "Mom, what were your hopes and dreams during your 20's and 30's?
A: "I don't know. I have a family to raise, juggling four jobs, and be a good wife. I make sacrifices each day to provide for my family first. There was no time to think about what I wanted, my passions, who I want to become."

Q: (Lily) "Auntie, can you tell me about your life and responsibilities in order of priority?"
A: "First, my daughter, then my husband, his side of the family, my side of the family, our dog, then me."

Q: (Friend) "Lily, who took the power away from you? You still have it, so why not give yourself permission to use it?"
A: (Lily) No one took the power away from me. I gave it away and forgot about myself.

Where could you go to find peace and clarity to your life circumstance?


I'm inspired by the strength and survival of my role models. I'm a survivor of life transitions; transformed my belief system, my perspectives, and how I process the world. I understand the challenges people face to find and embrace their "you-ness"—as a working professional, as a supportive member of family and social circles, as a woman who wants her voice to be heard and connect her "you-ness" to the world.

I encourage you to find and embrace your "you-ness." I want you to be confident in answering questions like "What do you really want?" and "Why does this matter to me?" I believe in you and what can be. I want you to have the best life possible! Once you start to embrace change, it'll become an addiction. I'll encourage, share, and play in the addiction with you.

Which is more scary, to stay where you are or move forward into the unknown?
