hello! i’m Lilian
YOUR BEST FRIEND in THE WELLNESS JOURNEY
I am a certified holistic health coach, yoga instructor and herbalist. In my prior life, I had a successful run as a finance entrepreneur for almost 20 years. While I was good at and passionate about finance, I have always been OBSESSED with wellness.
People always asked me how I managed to maintain glowing youth while constantly working 100 hour weeks in a high stress environment. Well, to answer this question, we have to draw on a concept in finance called the “power of compounding”, which Albert Einstein dubbed the 8th wonder of the world. The story goes like this: a king challenged a peasant to play chess. The peasant won and the king asked him what he would like for his reward. The peasant asked for something seemingly small, he wanted 1 grain of rice for first square of the chessboard and double for each of the succeeding square until the last square on the board (64th square). Sounds easy enough, the wealthy king agreed in an instant, only to find out, on the 64th square, the king owed him 18,000,000,000,000,000,000 grains of rice, or almost 210 billion tonnes!
Our well-being is very much the same. The small increments we do everyday compounds in such an exponential way that given time we see drastic improvement in how we feel, how we look and how we perform. As a financial entrepreneur, I often traded stocks on Bloomberg terminal with a homemade flower tea in hand and a facial mask on; I watched corporate presentations while stretching on yoga mat (make sure camera is off on zoom); I stuck to a well-researched supplement regime to compensate for not having the time to make everything from scratch in the kitchen; I invented simple yet effective exercises I can do while watching after my children.
I have finetuned a self-care routine over decades to fit into an impossibly busy life and it works! Now I want to share all those self-care habits with you so you can feel invincible at any age! …because it is always THE season to bloom!
