Supporting volunteering at TWF’s International Womens Day lunch.
I’m passionate about mentoring & championing self-empowerment and confidence. Especially in the areas of mindset and financial literacy. This is me onstage supporting two incredible humans for one of the TWF mentoring programs I am a long-term volunteer for.
I clumsily found my way towards mentoring and volunteering during my personal development journey, and realised I love sharing. As a former over-giver it has also been excellent practice in boundaries and supporting others without trying to do their work for them. (This book on how Givers succeed changed my life.)
My journey into mentoring : how it all began
I started with an online search for ways to volunteer, researched options and found my way to The Women’s Foundation HK. Starting as a volunteer for the TWF TEEN program, then mentoring in the Mentoring Program for Women Leaders, becoming cohort captain and staying involved thereafter.
I’m grateful to be an alumni of the TWF Mentoring Program, will likely join again, and will consider writing an article here about my experience of the journey, and why it’s so incredibly worthwhile.
Being a TWF mentor, I really felt like I’d found my people. I experienced a meaningful sense of belonging in this shared-values community.
Meanwhile, you’ll find me actively connecting and supporting others journeys, sharing a good word, and fostering enriching connections where I can. I really enjoy it and believe in the power of community and being a good neighbour; small kindnesses benefit us all.
From my own journey with insecurities, navigating physical and mental health wobbles, to building confident mindsets and improving boundaries, I share information I’ve found useful in case it’s helpful to anyone else. 🥰
Cheering your self-empowerment journey. Keep exploring! You’ll find what’s right for you.
This website is also created in the spirit of goodwill, and I hope you’ll find something here that benefits your journey too.
I look forward to writing about wellbeing solutions I’ve found. And you can always visit my curated Amazon Affiliate store for recommended products that have helped my anxiety, inflammation depression, or practical books with lessons to live by.
