I'm Angie from Taiwan. I am deeply curious and a lifelong learner, discovering myself over and over again through art, movement, writing, and motherhood.
She is a far better writer than me. I hope that I can write about the world like she can by the time I turn 60. Also her book is going to be amazing.

The Quick Story
I was an "excellent sheep" that felt lost and disconnected in the adult game until I found my mind-body connection again through lifting and embarked on my own hero's journey. I later created podcasts and online courses to help people cultivate awareness and empowerment through lifting.
Online creation unlocked my inner child and sparked my interest in other more fluid creative experiments like movement, writing, and art. Now I'm exploring how to help people connect with their creative power, get unstuck, embark on their own heroes' journeys, and live the beautiful life they deserve to live.
I Wrote a Book
I wrote my Chinese memoir Made in Taiwan that tells the story of me being Taiwanese, and how I perceived my identity changes over time. This includes studying in the States, quitting my 9-5, becoming an online creator and digital nomad, marrying into a white family, and becoming a mother.
