MY STORY- How I found my voice—on TV and beyond

I know what it’s like to be in the “spotlight,” but I also know what it is like to struggle to own your voice and to break through barriers.

I’m a second-generation Chinese-American. My first language was Mandarin Chinese. Growing up in the suburbs of Los Angeles, I never felt like an outcast, but I was a bit shy in my early years. I was taught to be respectful, quiet and avoid rocking the boat. My parents left their country, worked hard and played it safe to give me a better life. In a sense, you could say they lost their voices-so I could find mine. Their sacrifice is my privilege and I will not take that for granted.

Who in your life has lost their voice so that you could have yours? What are you going to do with the gift you were given?

I always knew there was something more inside me, a bigger calling.

As a kid I remember being fascinated by television: its reach and ability to inform and influence. My dad always said I could be like Connie Chung, the only Asian woman I ever saw on TV. I too wanted to tell stories, have a voice, and share information that could have an impact on others.

From rookie reporter to LA red carpet

So I set out to work in TV, and I loved it. From my post-college days in Hollywood, working behind the scenes and launching Entertainment Tonight China. To my “pay your dues” years as a rookie reporter in small markets to my big break in Los Angeles, my hometown. Touring magnificent homes around the country for HGTV and interviewing celebrities for E!

As a journalist, I’ve rescued bald eagle eggs in a helicopter, chased down police and grilled politicians to get “the story,” and covered raging wildfires, mudslides, bank robberies and bomb threats. I’ve seen tragedy, but also hope. I’ve experienced great joy, laughter and fun: entertaining people by hula-hooping, floating in a wind tunnel and even talking with birds on my head on live TV. From extraordinary to ordinary, everyone I’ve interviewed had a story, a voice and an impact.

But after years of working non-stop in daily live news, it was time for a new chapter.

Reinvention and entrepreneurship

I left news full-time after my first child was born and focused on TV hosting, speaking and this new online world. I created TheZenMom.com, an informative and inspirational website for moms. I immersed myself in entrepreneurship and social media and, just like with TV when I was young, I was fascinated with its reach and power to amplify people’s voices.

This entrepreneurial path led me on a deeper personal development journey. To gain clarity, break through my barriers, see who I truly am, know what I stand for and what I want to put out into the world. YOU, Amplified!® is a combination of my years of experience in the media, being on-camera, being a professional speaker and the process I went through to step into my leadership.

Now as I work with entrepreneurial and corporate clients helping them own their voice and power and accelerate their success, I know true growth and transformation isn’t just about working on the external, but the internal as well. YOU, Amplified!® is about embodying you and your message, and your mission. It’s personal development meets media training, speech coaching and leadership development. It’s about stepping up into to your leadership and sharing your gift with the world.

This is YOUR time and we’re here for you!

When I’m not coaching leaders you can also find me…

Motivational speaking

My speaking career began at the age of 15, when I traveled the country as “Miss California National Teenager.” Now I continue to speak at schools, universities, corporations, and conferences. I’m passionate about topics related to communication, diversity, women’s empowerment, work/life balance and, of course, media.
