Have you taken a moment lately to celebrate your successes? 🎉
I often think about the phrase from yoga, ‘Where the attention goes, the energy will flow’.
If all of your attention is focused on the job you hate, the boss you can’t stand, or the spreadsheet that’s making you miserable, then your energy is flowing there.
Meanwhile, if your attention is on the new poem you wrote, the painting you finished, or the yoga class you just taught, then there is more energy there. I love to imagine that when I celebrate and acknowledge the good things in my life, I’m shining a spotlight on it and saying to the universe, ‘Send more of this please!’
That’s why I make a point to celebrate everything from the big things like the 2-year anniversary of my podcast to the little things, like spending time with my best friend while painting.
I also coach my clients on celebrating and acknowledging their efforts more. We will often take a moment and celebrate their wins at the start of a call. I’ve also had clients do daily journaling to make it a habit to celebrate big AND small wins.
My clients often say how celebrating more has increased their motivation and enthusiasm in the process of changing their careers. It really does make a difference.
If you’re ready to bring more creativity and joy into your life and shift your energy and attention there, then come work with me in 1:1 coaching.

Have you been feeling like there’s this nagging voice telling you that there’s more to life than your draining corporate job? I’ve been there too.
As the daughter of Taiwanese immigrants, I followed the “good” career path into corporate finance for financial stability and job security. But after a decade, I felt unfulfilled, miserable, and burned out. 😩
I’m Jessica Hwang, your career transition coach! 🌟
I know what it’s like to lose sight of your passions and creativity while chasing someone else’s idea of success. We’ve been conditioned to believe that our only career options are doctor, lawyer, engineer, business, or failure! The reality is that there are so many options out there that we could flourish in if we opened up to the possibility. ✨
I’m on a mission to help others reignite their creativity and purpose and create a life that is true to who they are. You no longer need to hide behind the mask of who other people want you to be. Your authentic self is needed in this world.
Let’s break free from the corporate grind and make creativity the center of our lives! Whether you dream of being an artist, yoga instructor, or entrepreneur, it’s time to give yourself permission to explore, pursue, and create the life you want. 🚀
Don’t wait for “one day” to chase your dreams. Let’s make today the first step toward your creative purpose and new life! 💫
In my 1:1 coaching, I will help you move into the creative career that you’ve been pushing by the wayside without the guilt of disappointing your parents.

❤️💔 Are you preparing or repairing your day? 🤔
Lisa Francisco (@sacredfemmealchemy) shares a bit of what preparing for her day looks like in the latest episode of A Way of Thinking podcast.

When I was pulling together this reel, I was singing to myself, ‘I get into crazy contorted yoga poses with a little help from my friends’. 😂
Before every teacher training, I say to my friends, ‘I don’t know what is about to happen, but I know everything is about to change’. The hilarious thing is that I didn’t say that this time because I thought all the changes had already happened. I was so wrong!
This training was just as life-changing as all the others. It may even be my favorite! I came away from it feeling more connection and peace than ever before. I learned so much about myself, the practice, teaching, and this creation that we’re all a part of. It’s hard to put into words, but it’s really been the most incredible experience.
I’m so grateful for this incredible group of yogis who came together for this training. It was such a special group and the connection that we share is so meaningful. Thank you to all my classmates for making this training so special. Sharing this experience with you has been the greatest honor and privilege. Special shoutout to @indigotribewellness and @cliff.yoga who have been doing these trainings with me since our 200 Hr!
Thank you to @penelopekalloo, @karmacoco, @samtheyogi and Andrew for all your profound teachings. Thank you to @jojoshantiom, Adam, and Melanie for all of your incredible work behind the scenes. Of course thank you to Sri Dharma Mittra @dharmayoganyc for being our guide, leader, teacher, and so much more. Thank you for bringing us all together and imparting all your wisdom to us.
I am so blessed to be among this group of wonderful humans and to learn such incredible knowledge. The love that I have for you all is bigger than the universe. ❤️
With endless love,
Your celestial tech person
Justine

🌟 Ready to dive into joy?
Imagine this 🤔: Your days are filled with things that make you feel energized and alive!
Does that seem like a faraway dream from where you are now?
If your day is currently filled by your draining corporate job, it might feel like there’s no room for anything else. It also can feel like nothing will ever change and this is just how it will be forever.
Remember that everything is temporary and you won’t be where you are forever. In reality, you can decide that things are going to change today!
Instead of having to make a huge change in your life, what if you make one intentional step toward what you want?
Here are some tips on making intentional change happen in your life:
⭐️ Focus on one step at a time - we can easily overwhelm ourselves by looking trying to take on too much at once.
⭐️ Choose something that genuinely excites you - what would make you say a big, excited ‘YES!’?
⭐️ Make it small and manageable - if 15 minutes is what you feel you have right now then start there and dedicate those 15 minutes to something just for you.
When you take one step at a time, before you know it your life is filled with more and more moments of joy.
One day you will look around you and wonder how your life changed entirely. The answer is from taking that first intentional step.
I can tell you from experience that it’s the coolest moment when you realize that everything has changed for the better.
If you’re ready to take that first intentional step and want some support in making it happen, join me for 1:1 coaching.

Does it feel like you’re wearing a mask all day long at your corporate job? 🎭
As @tonyapapanikolove shares in this clip, showing up as the real YOU in every part of your life fills you with joy and energy. Yet, it’s tough when your job doesn’t let you shine with your unique talents.
Feeling like you have to wear a mask at work is a sign that your creativity is craving to break free.
On a recent client call, my client was reflecting on her previous corporate job and how much energy it was taking out of her to show up as someone else all day! Can you relate? 🫠
She shared how she had a lot of talent in website design, but was quickly dismissed when she offered to help with the company website. Her talents and skills were totally overlooked at her job.
She was forced back into the box of her job description that was sorely lacking in creativity.
In contrast, she now gets to be her full artistic self throughout her day and build her own creative business!
Your talents are incredible gifts, and there’s a world out there where they’ll be celebrated, not hidden away. 🎁🎉
If you’re tired of putting that mask on, then it’s time to start taking the steps to build a new creative career. In my 1:1 coaching, I will help you figure out what creative business you want to build and take empowered action to make it happen! You don’t need to stay stuck where you are wishing you were someone else. You already have what it takes to build a new career starting today!

Feeling like you’re supposed to climb the corporate ladder but it just doesn’t feel right? It’s like being on a ride you don’t want to be on! 🎢 But guess what? You’re not alone.
We’re often told to chase after promotions and climb the corporate ladder. But what if that’s not what we truly want? It can feel super overwhelming and scary to admit that we want to change paths.
But here’s the thing: it’s okay to want something different! 💫
Sure, it might seem like a crazy idea to veer off the expected path. You might worry about what others will think or if you’ll be able to succeed in a creative career. Those are totally valid concerns! But let me tell you something: taking the leap towards a career that aligns with your passions and values is totally worth it.
Because when you’re doing what you love, work doesn’t feel like work anymore. It feels like you’re living your purpose every single day! And isn’t that what we all strive for?
If you’re feeling stuck or unsure about your career path, I’m here to help.

☀️ Keep going! Try new things! Don’t be afraid to make mistakes!
This is the advice I’d give my younger self, but I think it’s advice we could all use.
Coming from an immigrant household, stability was the most important value. Taking big risks was seen as something other people did, but not smart or worth it. I always felt that I had to make the “right” choice and put a lot of pressure on myself to be “perfect”.
The reality is that there is no “perfect” path! Every stumble, detour, and “mistake” is invaluable. They are stepping stones rather than pitfalls.
Society often frames career pivots, especially from corporate to creative, as risky or impractical. “Is it too late?” “What if I fail?” These questions can keep us stuck in draining corporate jobs.
But what if I told you that the resilience, problem-solving skills, and many other skills from your corporate job have prepared you to be the successful creative you want to be? What if you have everything you need to make this career pivot?
Your corporate career hasn’t boxed you in. Let it be a launchpad to a new creative career.
Feeling inspired but not sure where to start? This is where I step in. I specialize in guiding 1st and 2nd generation women through the transition from corporate to creative, turning apprehension into action, and dreams into reality.
If you’re ready to redefine your career path and embrace your creative calling, I’m here to help. Let’s shed the judgment and recognize the strength in our stories.

Have you been trying to make a career change but instead you keep taking on more and more work and responsibilities at your job? Are you working your butt off to climb the corporate ladder even though you don’t actually want to become your boss or your boss’s boss?
Even though you might not want to be where you are anymore, it’s really hard to break away from wanting to do a good job and putting your all into where you are right now. Your brain is telling you you want that promotion because that’s what you’ve known.
News flash! You’re making it harder to leave and you’re pouring your energy into the wrong place!
Controversial opinion time: Stop trying to get a promotion! Stop trying to be the top performer!
If you really want to make a change, you need to put your energy toward your new creative career instead of your job.
Maybe you’re thinking: I don’t want to do a bad job though!
So don’t! Do a good job, but stop going above and beyond and going out of your way to take on more. I know this may sound crazy because you love being a high achiever, but you’re achieving in the wrong place. Shift your focus and your high achiever energy to what you really want.
If this hard truth hit you over the head and you’re ready to put your precious energy to finally making a career change, then my 1:1 coaching will provide you with the guidance, support, and strategy to make it happen!

Leaving a stable job can feel like leaping off a cliff, and trust me, I’ve been there. The fear is real, and the uncertainty can be paralyzing**.** You choose to stay stuck in your draining corporate job, even though you hate it because the alternative is just too scary!
In a corporate job, there is a well-defined career path. You know where you’re potentially going next. Exploring a new creative career feels like a cliff jump because you don’t know where the next step is. It feels like losing the familiar trail, leaving you feeling lost and unsure of where to go next.
The question is, how can you build a safety net, a framework around you that assures you it’s safe to make this bold change?
It’s about creating a new path. Seeking role models and connecting with those who’ve navigated similar changes helps construct a framework of possibilities. It’s not about replicating their journey but gaining insights and inspiration to pave your own unique way.
Maybe you’re asking yourself: “Can I really make it on a different path?”
Absolutely! The journey might not be identical, but the inspiration from others’ success stories becomes a roadmap for your unique adventure. It’s about taking the first step and trusting that you can emerge on the other side stronger and fulfilled.
Ready to craft your personalized path with guidance and support? Join my 1:1 coaching program. Let’s build a framework that empowers your transition and leads to a purposeful, creative career.

🌟 Empower Yourself: Become the Creator of Your Life 🚀
Have you felt trapped in the corporate maze, wondering if you have control over your path?
When we feel powerless and stuck, it feels like it will never end! 😱
This is your reminder that everything is temporary especially when it doesn’t seem like it. Think back to other times when you’ve felt stuck, trapped, or defeated. Those times all ended and so will this one!
Maybe you’re saying to yourself now, but Jessica… that doesn’t mean that I can make things change right now!
My answer: You may not feel it, but you always have the power within you and it’s still there. You are the creator of your life.
It’s time that you take back your power and start creating again. Your life can be your greatest masterpiece.
Check out the latest episode of A Way of Thinking podcast and start crafting the vision of what you DO want instead of staying stuck in what you don’t want.
You are the creator! ✨
