Fear is what paralyzes us from taking the first step to achieving our goals, seizing the opportunity, and being the best we can be. Zander realized that he needed to remodel the narrative he told himself, and to start becoming comfortable with the uncomfortable. In order to create self-discipline, he water fasted for 7-days.

But, how are we supposed to see what life has in store of us if we don't dive from the deep end? In this episode, Shu Yi shares her experience of what happened when she didn't settle in a relationship, how she learned to pick up the pieces again, and what she found at the end of the rainbow.

Everyone hits rock bottom and it's frustrating to be down there. You're alone, cold, and lost. But, the best part is - wisdom comes in the most unexpected forms, whether you like it or not.

Our names are the single most important thing we own that other people use more than we do. Yet, we don't take the time to understand it and how it shapes us.

Disney sold us on the idea that some rich hot man was going to roll up on his horse, give us his AmEx card, and solve all of our problems. Sick of waiting for her own singing crustacean band, Shu Yi, shares her story of past relationships, heart break, and how she learned to love herself. She also seldom gets drunk people to serenade to her outside her window, which is 100x better than a singing Jamaican lobster.
