So I'm going to take you along with me on my day,

and we're going to get started first with getting ready with me.

So because my skin is feeling just a bit dull,

I want to give it that glass skin look.

I'm going to start with the Booster Pro.

So I like to take the pink serum and apply it on the device like so.

So each zone on my face,

I just apply it for a minute.

And then after that, you want to do the third mode,

which is the microcurrent mode.

So I like going around my smile lines just to plump them up.

I feel like I'm ironing out my wrinkles, you know?

And the last step is the Dermashot.

It uses EMS technology, so like you really feel it.

I might actually go a little higher.

Level two, level three.

Just for under my chin.

So this mode helps stimulate sagging skin.

It helps tighten your muscles,

and it's really great to target your under chin area.

My turkey neck.

Ta-da!

All done.

I'm gonna finish off my skin prep using divine water perfecting mist

So I'm gonna go ahead and get makeup ready

and I'll be right back So I just finished my glam

and I'm in love with how sang did my makeup today So

if you are subscribed to my youtube channel You should get

a notification whenever I do a blog post on youtube

and one of the questions I asked this week was let

me know what topics you'd like for me to cover on future afterglow episodes

I asked my producer Chelsea to pick out a few questions that really caught her eye.

I haven't seen these, so I'm going to go ahead

and just read them out and see if I can answer some of them.

This is a really good question.

I would love to see a segment on being an unmarried woman in your 30s with no kids and contemplating on it.

As a 31-year-old woman, I am struggling with this issue in my life.

So I guess in other words,

how do you navigate your life in your 30s unmarried with no kids?

It really depends on what you actually want out of life.

And I think this is why it's so important to take time to self-reflect.

There comes a point that once you get into your 30s,

you've had so much experience in life,

you can now look back and start identifying patterns,

whether it's thought patterns or behavior patterns.

The truth is you don't really know what you want out of life if you don't know yourself.

And this is why it's so important to do that self-work, the self-development work.

it's so important to take time to reflect,

to think about where you are in life right now and look back,

you know, observe some of the big decisions you've made in life and ask yourself,

was I present when I made these big life-changing decisions?

Is that something I wanted?

Was that something that other people wanted me to have?

And because you have to keep in mind,

there's going to be a moment where you're going to become aware of a lot of the belief system

that was placed onto you,

whether it's from family, religion,

culture, society, these belief systems,

they really do shape how you think,

how you make decisions in life.

It literally shapes your reality.

And so unless you truly know who you are,

what you truly want, and removing all that belief system,

going down to the core,

that's when you will know what you want out of life.

And so, you know, to answer your question,

how do you navigate your life in your 30s,

unmarried with no kids, it starts with yourself.

You have to go really deep on your own inner journey and really learn who you are,

finding yourself again, loving yourself again.

Once you're at that stage in life where you feel confident and you feel very much centered and at ease,

what I've personally seen and also a lot of my other close friends and family,

what they've seen is once you did all the healing,

the energy that you're at when you are truly radiating from your authentic self,

you start attracting people and opportunities and situations that match this new energy, this new frequency.

Because honestly, I can sense from the question,

there's a little bit of fear.

There's a little bit of judgment because it seems like the person who's asking this question is,

hey, there's something wrong with me because I'm in my 30s and I'm unmarried with no kids.

I sense a little bit of fear and self-judgment.

And oftentimes that self-judgment comes because when you care a lot about the opinions of what society thinks of you,

what family thinks of you and friends, you're literally judging yourself.

And I think until you do the work where you become aware of that judgment and you heal from it,

you remove it out of your thought patterns and all of that,

it's going to be easier to navigate through life

and you'll be more centered when you're making decisions whether you want to have kids

or whether you want to be in a long-term relationship where eventually you get married

but again like I said everyone is different you don't have

to live a life not everyone is meant to follow a blueprint in life

that someone else made you can also make your own blueprint

I truly believe as long as you're not you know intentionally hurting someone and there's consent do you and have fun.

How to deal with Asian generational trauma,

the constant feeling of unworthiness,

anxiety, fear, and pressure to succeed.

It's something that I've been struggling with my entire life and I can't seem to make any peace with any of it.

I kind of want to echo what I mentioned before,

which is unless you truly do your healing,

you truly become aware of the belief system that you have installed in your brain.

Because remember, all these ideologies,

100

imagine

101

they're like apps and you are the phone

102

and you have all these apps that are installed in

103

and they've been installed there from birth from childhood from teenagehood etc etc etc

104

and some of them are kind of outdated just saying right

105

some of them maybe they shouldn't be there maybe you had a traumatized parent

106

that unknowingly passed on their traumas onto you imprinted that onto you so until you actually take time,

107

go into solitude, really reflect on your life,

108

reflect on the decisions, reflect on your relationships,

109

reflect on everything, but don't judge yourself.

110

So the key is reflect, but don't judge.

111

Just observe what's happening.

112

If you feel that judgment comes,

113

make note of it because obviously it's a trigger.

114

I'm a big believer in if something is triggering you,

115

don't go into your safe space.

116

Don't try to hide it.

117

Don't try to like push it away,

118

investigate it because there's something in your subconscious mind

119

that is not healed and you're going to constantly get triggered by this thing

120

which in a way it kind of controls your life i mean are you in control of your emotions

121

or are your emotions in control of you that's kind of the question you have to ask yourself

122

and so investigate your triggers investigate what

123

that is don't judge it just observe it

124

and become aware of it do the work everyone has different modalities and how they heal.

125

And this is something we will go even deeper on in my Afterglow series.

126

But it really starts with gaining awareness on your mind,

127

gaining awareness on your decisions,

128

gaining awareness on what is running your script in your brain.

129

Because the whole unworthiness and anxiety and pressure to succeed,

130

that's literally a program that was written by your parents or by your family members who are operating out of fear,

131

who are operating out of lack.

132

I find that when you tend to operate from a negative emotion,

133

if you really think about it,

134

oftentimes a lot of our Asian parents who immigrated to America, they're immigrants, right?

135

They immigrated here because either it was war or something happened politically in their country where they just had to leave.

136

Everyone has a different story, right?

137

But something that I've observed with a lot of Asian immigrant parents is that when they came here,

138

there's a lot of that unworthiness they brought to them because they feel like,

139

well, first off, there's a fear of being in a new country,

140

learning a new language.

141

You know, they're going to face a lot of oppression.

142

Whenever there's like immigrants, like they get treated a certain way.

143

And so there's a little bit of that,

144

or actually a lot of that.

145

I need to prove myself.

146

I need to show them that I'm just as good, just as capable.

147

So you have that and you have fear and you have like lack.

148

It's so sad because I love,

149

I have so much love for immigrant parents

150

and I actually forgive most of them and oftentimes

151

if they are toxic or

152

if they are very judgmental guilt-driven I've actually learned to not be mad at

153

that I've learned to really forgive them because

154

if you put yourself in their shoes if they're escaping war

155

or political issues or anything right if if you put yourself in their shoes, it makes sense.

156

Like they don't have access to the knowledge

157

that we have today where we can watch videos of people like myself talking about traumas,

158

talking about mental health, spiritual health.

159

They didn't have access to that.

160

And so we have to really forgive them.

161

You lead by example.

162

And for me, I always lead by love.

163

I always meet people where they're at with love

164

and not coming from a place of judgment or you should see a therapist or this or that,

165

because a lot of Asian parents,

166

if you say that T word,

167

therapy, they literally still think going to therapy means you're crazy.

168

When it comes to mental health in Asian culture,

169

it's still very much stigmatized.

170

But there's change.

171

I see hope.

172

I see a silver lining.

173

I see light at the end of the tunnel.

174

There's hope.

175

But it really starts with you.

176

It's going to be us,

177

our generation, where we have to heal those generational traumas.

178

And it starts with us.

179

If we heal ourselves, we can at least stop it from passing on to the next generation.

180

So I hope that answered your question.

181

I know it was, I know that's a lot.

182

This is a great question.

183

Impact of social media on mental health and how to deal with it.

184

Yeah, so there was an interesting study that showed eating disorders and depression in girls skyrocketed around 2010s.

185

And if you think about it,

186

around that time, Instagram came out.

187

And I always tell people Instagram is kind of like the magazine of this new generation.

188

Every account you go to, it's essentially a magazine.

189

It's showing someone's lifestyle.

190

It's showing their best moments in life.

191

I mean, it's very natural for us to compare ourselves to other people,

192

but especially women, especially girls.

193

We are a little more sensitive about that because,

194

you know, we want to feel like we belong.

195

We want to be loved.

196

We want to be accepted.

197

We want to be validated.

198

And oftentimes, if you don't have that inner love that's built in,

199

you seek for it outside.

200

You seek for it externally and social media became unfortunately that place

201

that platform where people are constantly seeking external validation I'm not

202

saying it's bad sometimes like in fact I built my whole career on social media

203

and I discovered so many cool things because of social media

204

but there's also an ugly truth to it too where it can become a breeding ground for insecurities

205

and and anxiety and all of that.

206

So for me, the best way to deal with it is really just, it's like anything.

207

It's like any bad thing that you ingest or that you take.

208

Just don't spend a lot of time on social media.

209

That's what I do.

210

I make sure I treat social media now like a job.

211

I go in, I do my job and I exit and that's it.

212

I don't really dwell.

213

I don't doom scroll.

214

So that's a big thing too,

215

is become aware of the moment you're doom scrolling,

216

just stop yourself because it's that dopamine hit that's happening.

217

It's a chemical reaction happening in your brain where you just feel good, scrolling, scrolling, scrolling.

218

Just stop yourself and ask yourself, why am I scrolling?

219

What is my intention?

220

And that's going to be the key actually to everything is start with the why.

221

Why am I going on social media?

222

Am I going to see what my friends are up to?

223

Am I going to be informed about the news?

224

Am I going on to just find cool things?

225

Another thing too is set a limit.

226

I like setting a limit to like 10,

227

15 minutes and that's it then if I do go on other platforms,

228

I give myself a task.

229

It's like, okay, I'm going to go on here because I need to find inspiration for this.

230

So I have a goal.

231

It's a destination, and I have a task,

232

and I have a goal,

233

and I go there, and I make sure that goal is met,

234

and then I leave.

235

So intention is going to be really,

236

really important to establish before you go deep into social media and oftentimes get trapped in that doom scrolling.

237

But I feel like now that social media has been around for the past 10 years,

238

There's a lot more practices that are helping people reduce their screen time.

239

I have a friend of mine who he purposely made his phone black and white.

240

So it's boring.

241

He doesn't spend a lot of time on social media or his phone,

242

which is really smart.

243

There's of course limits that you can set on your phone too.

244

I mean, there's so many things that people are trying to do to combat this because we know it's not good.

245

Like we know too much social media,

246

too much of anything is not good.

247

Too much air is bad for you.

248

Too much water is bad for you.

249

But not too much love.

250

Okay, so next question is,

251

what are your thoughts on situationships,

252

friendships, love, and loving yourself?

253

Ooh, that's a lot.

254

Well, okay, situationships. Have fun.

255

Just be aware, you know.

256

Don't get too lost into it.

257

Don't be attached to an outcome.

258

I think the moment you become attached to an idea of how things should be or to an outcome,

259

that's when you really screw yourself over and you set yourself up for disappointment.

260

So to me, when it comes to situationships,

261

it really feels like I'm trying this out.

262

No attachment. Have fun.

263

Friendships, it's the opposite.

264

It's going to be really important to establish intention.

265

For me, the foundation of a good friendship,

266

it is about respect and shared values.

267

If your friendship is not built on respect, it's pretty much doomed.

268

It's like any relationship.

269

Actually, in fact, any relationship that is not built on respect is going to be doomed.

270

So respect is key to this.

271

Thank you so much for the question.

272

So I'm going to go ahead and just take you around with me.

273

And we are getting ready for our lives.

274

We're also going to make some content with Jane.

275

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
