"If there ever comes a time when the women of the world come together purely and simply for the benefit of mankind, it will be a force such as the world has never known"

-Matthew Arnold-

This is the quote that motivates Lilian Ong to start a self-funded women empowerment community, Women of Courage Asia. Since its inception in 2018, over 800+ women have been impacted through their pro-bono Monthly Empowerment Meeting. The community was built by volunteers who have benefited from the meeting and then giving back through their own sharing and expertise.

Lilian Ong is also the author of Women of Courage: Breaking The Fear Barrier Book. She is a Courage Coach, Mentor, and Speaker who has shared her stories locally, here in Singapore, and overseas. Not just theory, Lilian has helped the host, Hellen Lie passed the mental barrier and fear to start a podcast. It is only apt that Lilian Ong becomes the first guest on this podcast. 

This first episode traces back to Lilian's first encounter with destiny and the steps that she took to get out of her depression, suicide attempts to self-awareness, and empowerment.

No Ordinary Stories with Hellen Lie uncovers the story of people who have overcome challenges and contribute back to society in an inspiring way. We will dig deep into how they started, their struggles, and the mindset that led them to succeed.

Hellen Lie is the founder and Creative Director of Rosette Designs & Co, a wedding planning and decoration company in Singapore, started in 2013. Rosette Designs & Co has been voted Top Wedding Planner and Top Stylist in Singapore by various media. In 2021, she launched her second brand, Seasons of Rosette, an e-commerce gifts & flower
