About Me

My Journey

My path to becoming a Mindset and Financial Wellness Coach has been both diverse and transformative. From serving as a military soldier to becoming a nurse, leader, and now a coach, my experiences have shaped my understanding of resilience, self-discovery, and financial stability. Having faced instability and financial hardships firsthand, I have learned the importance of pursuing genuine passions and embracing personal growth.

My journey has taken me from Myanmar to the United States, where I have experienced various facets of life, including the challenges of adapting to new environments and overcoming financial constraints. These experiences have enriched my perspective and fueled my passion for helping others achieve their own personal and financial goals. I have seen the impact that focused, empathetic coaching can have on someone's life, and I am committed to bringing that same positive change to you.

Coaching Philosophy

Mindset Coaching

As your Mindset and Financial Wellness Coach, my primary focus is on helping you overcome self-doubt and limiting beliefs. Through tailored coaching strategies, I assist you in building self-confidence and developing a positive mindset. We'll work together to identify and challenge negative thought patterns, replacing them with constructive beliefs that support your goals.

Mindset coaching involves exploring the underlying beliefs and thought patterns that may be impacting your ability to achieve success. We will address these issues through various techniques, including cognitive restructuring and affirmation practices, to help you cultivate a more positive and empowering mindset. This process is crucial for building the confidence and resilience needed to navigate both personal and financial challenges effectively.

Financial Wellness Coaching

Financial wellness is a crucial aspect of a balanced life. My approach includes practical strategies for managing financial stress and setting achievable financial goals. Whether you're dealing with debt, planning for the future, or seeking ways to improve your financial situation, I provide the tools and guidance you need to take control of your finances and achieve stability.

In financial wellness coaching, we will focus on creating a comprehensive plan that addresses your financial goals, including budgeting, saving, and investing. I will help you develop effective strategies for managing debt, building wealth, and achieving financial security. By integrating financial education with practical tools and personalized advice, I aim to empower you to make informed decisions and build a solid financial foundation.

Techniques and Frameworks

To support your journey towards mindset and financial wellness, I use a range of proven techniques and frameworks:

• Attachment Theory: Developed by John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth, this theory explores how early emotional bonds shape our relationships and self-esteem. Understanding these patterns helps us address issues affecting personal and professional growth. By examining your attachment styles and their impact on your current relationships and self-perception, we can work towards developing healthier and more fulfilling connections.

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This approach focuses on changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. By identifying and modifying these patterns, we work towards a healthier and more positive mindset. CBT techniques are instrumental in helping you challenge and overcome self-limiting beliefs, leading to improved mental well-being and greater success in your personal and financial life.

• SMART Framework: Setting clear and achievable goals is essential for progress. The SMART Framework helps in breaking down larger goals into actionable steps, ensuring you stay focused and motivated. We will use this framework to establish specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound goals, creating a structured plan for achieving your personal and financial objectives.

• Affirmation and Visualization Techniques: These methods help in reframing negative self-talk and boosting confidence. Through affirmations and visualization, we cultivate a more positive self-image and mindset. By regularly practicing these techniques, you can reinforce your goals and maintain a positive outlook, supporting your overall success and well-being.

• SWOT Analysis: This strategic planning tool evaluates your Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. It's a valuable method for personal development and goal setting. By conducting a SWOT analysis, we can identify key areas for improvement and leverage your strengths to achieve your objectives more effectively.

• Mindfulness Practice: Cultivating awareness and presence through mindfulness enhances your ability to manage stress and stay focused on your goals. Mindfulness practices help you stay grounded and present, reducing stress and improving your overall quality of life.

• Cognitive Restructuring: Similar to CBT, this method involves challenging and replacing limiting beliefs with more constructive thoughts. By addressing and transforming these beliefs, you can develop a more positive and empowering mindset, supporting your personal and financial growth.

• ABCs Framework: This structured approach guides you through personal and professional development, helping you identify and work towards your key objectives. The ABCs Framework provides a clear and systematic approach to goal setting and achievement, ensuring that you stay focused and on track.
