Her Life Before the Discovery of Self Confidence

Vivian felt invisible growing up.  

The “AHA” Moment

Vivian was exposed to other cultures in college which helped her embraced her difference.  Being a mom has given Vivian a different perspective. Her children are multi-cultural, and they embrace their Eastern European and Asian culture. They don’t see themselves as ½ of anything – they are full human beings and global citizens. Vivian also reads a note to her daughter:

Your grandparents and I came to this country in pursuit of opportunities.

You embody our hopes and dreams.

As your life unfolds before you, hear my voice to guide you…

Never lose the sparkle in your eye or the fire in your heart.

Surround yourself with people who spark joy.

Be kind.

Always be curious.

Don’t take things personally.

Never measure yourself with someone else’s yardstick.

Listen to your gut.

Know that if you can dream it, you can do it.

Your voice matters.

You are enough.

Her Life After the Discovery of Self Confidence

Vivian feels more liberated in her life and has the courage to speak her truth.  

The One Self Confidence Tip For the Listener

Everyone’s journey is different, and don’t measure yourself against others. Ask for help and surround yourself with people who bring joy to your life. Also, provide support and have empathy towards others.
