Trang is an international and TEDx speaker, and a leading life and business mentor for those who know they're made for more. In particular, those who are hungry to build their dream business of impact to replace their profession, so they can live with freedom and fulfillment.
Born to Vietnamese immigrant parents, Trang spent the first part of her life succumbing to traditional Asian expectations, where she started her career as a Physiotherapist. However, her rebellious and visionary personality eventually led her to question how she could help people not just as athletes but as humans.
Trang started her coaching business but initially had no idea what she was doing, so she quickly overworked herself to the point of burn-out. Not just once, but twice, she fell asleep at the wheel and caused two accidents.
That is why Trang now runs the free and fulfilled business movement, so people can achieve business success while thriving not just as business owners, but as human beings.
Ultimately, she believes that when enough people thrive, humanity will thrive, and when humanity thrives, the world will thrive for all of us and future generations.

Our ability to achieve big things starts with our self-worth, because if we don't even believe in our worthiness, then why would we even allow ourselves to dedicate time and energy pursue something, let alone persist at it long enough to achieve it?
In this episode, I share how I almost let my self-doubt stop me from applying for TEDx Cecil Street in Melbourne which I later got offered to speak at, and the 4 types of self-worth you need to develop if you want to get out of your own way and achieve big things.
