Experiences that made us...
Hey friends,
In my first EVER newsletter, I thought it would be nice for me to write the wins and learnings that happened to me in the past several weeks.
YES, of course, I am including the launch of this website and newsletter 🎉! Thanks to my designer (Although, my subscriber is only my fiancé at the moment 😂)
Our wins. My fiancé and I…
In the past 2 weeks, my fiancé (❤️ let’s call him A) has made a huge pivotal change in his career. It was (and still is!) an exciting and emotional moment for both of us when he first broke the news and made a decision to leave the corporate world as a full-time Forex trader (He formed a business with his friends as @T.A.P FX team #abangtap) 😱. Why exciting? It’s because the right time is finally here for him to make the leap to pursue that one and only one thing he is passionate about…and it’s Forex. 🙏🏽 Thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic and all that lockdown across the world in early 2020, this opportunity rises for this strong-willed man. 🧠 We both have spent time (Mostly him, really!) exploring this foreign exchange world that was foreign for both of us at the time. And why emotional? It’s because the unknown is always petrifying! One night, A sat me down and poured out his big vision. It's huge indeed… his eyes dilated and I can almost feel how his soul is driven towards this new adventure; also that he felt beating his fear is better than being trapped by it. I intend to log this personal adventure and report back :)

📜 I am now officially is a Certified Practitioner of NLP Coaching, Hypnotherapy & Time Line Therapy (Contact me)

🧠 Favorite Quote
“There are memories that shape us. Molding us into who we become. A mosaic of images and feelings that offer some truth about how we got here, even if details have blurred with time” - From Sweet Girl, Netflix
Learnings
Before I sat down to write this note to you, my thoughts were all over the place and so was I. Writing my wins here has forced me to rewire my brain, appreciating all the challenges that mold me into who I am today. “As the years pass, we realized we are nothing more than the experiences that made us”
It feels weird to be writing my first EVER newsletter but guess we’ll just have to test and learn. Do reply to this email if you have anything to add/ any questions. I am happy to spare the time to hear your thoughts and maybe making friends with you. ❤️
And yes, frankly my friend, everything is workable!
