Hi! I’m Jenn—a kid of immigrants and former over-achiever.

 

I’m a certified high flow coach, community strategy consultant, and advisor.

I’m also a kid of immigrants and former overachiever. 

For 10+ years, I led community and creative strategy for places like WeWork, Hopin, and MakerBot through the peak of their growth. I did this while working side hustles and traveling the world.

Then I burned out.

I learned that the things that made me successful: hyper self-sufficiency, achievement culture, and empathy without boundaries—were also the things that made me susceptible to prolonged stress.

So I learned how the brain and body work in times of ease and stress. I trained in mindfulness and meditation. I got certified to coach leaders on peak performance and flow states.

When I started caregiving before my mom passed, I pressure-tested everything I learned: how to communicate and lead from a place of calm, clarity and compassion—at work and in life.

From here, I had a theory: that there were other people, like me, who wanted to create abundance and impact without sacrificing health, wellbeing and time with the people and things that matter.

Now, I leverage my journey to train entrepreneurs, leaders, and employee resource groups how to be more productive with less stress.

I do this by combining emotional intelligence training, the science of flow states, and the wisdom of Buddhist and Taoist philosophy.

Through speaking, coaching and strategic partnerships, my mission is to build and nurture people and teams that they never have to get to the point of burnout.

I create purpose and flow in my own life through advising conscious founders, mentoring Asian Americans on personal growth, and hosting creative dinner parties.

When we connect deeper with ourselves, we’re better equipped to reach our highest potential, lead healthier lives, and leave a lasting legacy in our communities.

 
 

I serve from my values.

Connection

Fostering relationships rooted in interdependence and community while celebrating each person’s unique gifts.

growth

The willingness to ask questions and maintain objectivity. Be detached from ego and maintain a beginner’s mindset.

Authenticity

Having gentle awareness around living and expressing our beliefs and values, even in the face of opposition.

Vitality

Embracing our child-like state of wonder and possibility so that we are open to creating and receiving the things that make us feel human and alive.

empowerment

Guiding others to find and amplify their zone of genius and capacity to create positive influence.

Compassion

Wishing others to be free from suffering so that we may connect deeper with others, heal relationships, and foster self awareness and well-being.
