My Story….So Far
Hi, I’m Chey
I’ve spent over 20 years in the banking industry gaining valuable insight and skills in Program/Project Management, Lean Six Sigma Continuous Improvement, Strategic Planning and Execution, DEI Leadership and more. I’ve also created and expanded small business.
Using all of my life experiences, I guide women on a transformative path from fleeting victories and burnout to enduring confidence, fulfillment and abundance.
I help them unleash their inner power, navigate life’s challenges with purpose, learn valuable technical and business skills and discover profound peace through balanced and intentional wellbeing.
But I had to experience some things before I got here…..
Started from the bottom…
I quite literally started from the bottom in one bedroom apartments in LA with my 2 sisters, constantly moving from place to place (and school to school) as my Mom’s financial health fluctuated, eventually landing in the San Gabriel Valley for better educational opportunities.
I was constantly navigating being in spaces where I could count the number of people who looked like me on one hand with the added bonus of being poor in an aggressively affluent white and Asian high school. I was battling microaggresions, acne, hair textureism, colorism, lack of a daddy issues, a very toxic homelife and more! Like girl, pick a struggle!
We were evicted during my Senior year of high school and living in motels and rooms of friends with all of my belongings packed into a suitcase. I travelled across the country by myself with that same suitcase to start college at 17.
…Now we’re Here!
College in Providence Rhode Island was QUITE the adventure and QUITE the culture shock for a Cali girl, but I made it (Cum Laude at that!).
I graduated from college and found myself in one of those predatory relationships with an emotionally abusive man and after 6 months of living with him in Scotland, alienated from all my friends a family, my ass was sent packing back to California with nothing but that same suit case (again!) and $2000 to my name.
I gave myself a month to find a job, a car and a place to live after my best friends mother graciously allowed me to stay on her couch. After walking to the library each day and applying for roles, I did just that and never looked back.
I’ve travelled the world, purchased and remodeled multiple homes, started small business and even starred in a national car commercial all while climbing the corporate ladder, increasing my earning, awards and accolades along the way.
In case you couldn’t tell, I spent most of my life as a an overachiever, desperately wanting to achieve that magical milestone that would allow me to finally exhale and prove to society, the naysayers (and myself) that I was here for a reason and my life mattered.
From Dream to Nightmare
When 2022 came around and I got the call of a lifetime from my trusted Executive Sponsor to come work for him at a rapidly growing bank with a culture more in alignment to who I was instead instead of the assimilated and toned down version of myself I’d molded myself into, I just KNEW that I had finally made it.
I was LITERALLY able to say that I was “Living the Dream”
And then one day, it all came crashing down through a series of unfortunate events several levels above my pay grade and my biggest fear that I’d been running away from was brought back front and center.
I was going to have to start ALL OVER AGAIN, this time with everything to lose and it being a WHOLE lot harder to gain (or keep for that matter).
You won’t break my soul!
My journey from having it all to being placed in “All my life I had to fight mode” was one of the greatest challenges I’ve ever faced (and I’ve faced more than can be written in an about me), but it also gave me so many gifts and knowledge along the way to persevere and more importantly, finally use it to help other women thrive! Helping other woman was always a dream of mine, but I never knew how.
So I went back to school, and got to work on healing and educating myself so that I could get back to operating from my power without the dependency on avoiding problems, asking for permission and seeking perfection and approval from others.
Through sharing my expensive and painful journey towards finding my authentic self, operating from my true north, strengthening my mental fitness, stepping into my power and manifesting things almost instantly, with women just like you (and me), I secured my 1st coaching clients, started planning a podcast with a phenomenal friend (Check out Savvy Pen) and began building the community that I had been looking for all my life, but was too scared to create outside of the confines of my corporate job!
The Future is NOW
So much has opened up for me and I want you to join me and the growing community of women who have benefited from going through this life changing journey.
I have sifted through all of the noise, connected the dots and broken it down to get you on your way without the unnecessary exhaustion & financial hardship, so you can focus your energy on where it’s best served: YOU and living the life of YOUR dreams.
Are you ready to get the ball rolling and celebrate your 1st win?
