Creators in Vietnam

In this episode, we invited Quynh, a previous co-host & guest and Spiritual Teacher to join our roundtable discussion on spirituality.

We want to demystify the meaning of spirituality and explain why spirituality is actually very practical. In essence, spirituality is about knowing your spirit - who you truly are.

We honestly share about events in our life that led us on a spiritual path and how we practice it every day.

In this episode:

🎙️ How spirituality allows you to create the future you desire and how to tap into that power

🎙️ Why we often need to hit rock bottom to reconnect with our authentic self again

🎙️ The importance of experiencing our emotions

🎙️ How spirituality empowers you to take responsibility over your life

Chúc mừng năm mới!

In western cultures, we are used to set our intentions & goals for the next year by January first (as you can listen in our “End Of Year Review” episode).

But It is quite different in Vietnam where we do celebrate the “western” New Year but nothing really moves until after the Lunar New Year (Tet).

And so this gave the team the perfect opportunity to have an open discussion about how we follow through on our intentions and check on our progress at the beginning of this year of the Tiger.

In this episode:

🎙️ Creating a clear vision and milestone for your intentions

🎙️ How to stay accountable for your vision

🎙️ Building the right environment for your growth

🔈 Denise is the CEO and co-founder of Vietnam's fastest-growing AI social & dating app Fika, with over 1M downloads globally, only 1 year after its soft launch in November 2020.

🤗  Denise already has a wide catalog of inspiring and moving stories and we invite you to discover these stories in some of the other interviews she has given.

🎙️ In this episode, we decided to focus on the unfortunate passing of her adoptive mother at the age of 9 and the repercussion that it had on her life, how only now she is learning to express her more vulnerable side and how that impacted/is impacting her relationships.

We also talk then about the challenges of having a relationship and how FIKA wants to approach it differently, by hoping to be a supportive third party in growing relationships.

🙏 We are grateful that Denise allowed us to share this intimate moment where she practiced vulnerability and that in itself shows her incredible inner strength and experience.
