This is the first of a 3 episode mini-series on my backstory! Growing up in a Chinese-Canadian family, I was the kid who thought that I had it all figured out. I got straight A’s in school, I nailed everything that I put my mind to, and I knew exactly what I wanted to be when I grew up. It’s no surprise that I ended up becoming SUPER perfectionistic, and TERRIFIED of failure. What was supposed to be a “standard of personal excellence” eventually resulted in me holding myself back from every single opportunity I had to chase my dreams… because I was afraid of disappointing myself. So when I finally decided to go for it and landed my dream job, you wouldn’t believe what happened next…
