  • After 2 years, The Proper Paupers are finally home. Join Rae as she listens to dangerously adventurous stories from Gracia, her friend of 10 years. Gracia and her partner Yee Jia have spent 2 years on the road. In the first year, they built a van from scratch (with zero experience) and travelled across all 48 states of America. In the second year, they cycled over 20,000km across 21 countries by tandem bicycle (yes, two people coordinating on a single bike).

    From hitchhiking to being escorted by armed personal, receiving generous acts of kindness from people who have barely enough for themselves, and experiencing the purest moments of connection, Gracia shares the highest highs and lowest lows of their journey.

    Gracia and her partner had a dream to see the world, but did not have a lot of money. That marked the start of The Proper Paupers, as they wanted to travel properly despite being on a pauper-tight budget. If you have even a spark of an adventurous spirit, dreams of seeing the world, or just love a good story, you don’t wanna miss this podcast episode!

    It is my 25th birthday tomorrow, 28th November.

    As I look at my life today and compare it to where I was 5 years ago, I find that it’s almost unrecognisable. Not just is my life different, my entire being is different — the way I think, the way I speak, the amount of belief and love I have for myself — is worlds apart.

    Rae 5 years ago would NEVER imagine she can be doing work she truly loves today, much less travel and work from anywhere. She was once the girl that woke up everyday unhappy and uninspired, feeling like a failure in everything she does.

    And yet, here I am. Looking back, I realised that there were 3 things I needed to unlearn in order to break free from the life people wanted me to live, and start building the life I wanted to live so that I can be happy.

    I needed to unlearn these limiting beliefs and patterns that were running my thoughts, emotions and actions, and adopted new ones that expanded and inspired me.

  • There is a DISTINCT difference between Making friends and Networking. Both are important. the problem comes when we don’t know the differences and way to approach it and end up tiring yourself out.

    Many people think — oh I wanna network, let me meet more people. But problem is — meet WHO? Who are the people you wanna meet more of? We all have limited time, we can’t spend time with everyone.

    If you want to grow a quality network and advance your career and business, you need to master the skill of networking so that you connect with the people whom can support you, and you can contribute to them.

    Many people make the mistake of using their “making friends” approach in networking. They spend so much time meeting so many people but end up exhausted and not meeting their objectives.

    In today’s episode, I’ll share with you the Similarities AND Distinct Differences between making friends and networking. You’ll also learn some practical steps you can take to be more effective in your networking.

  • It’s easy to use your voice when you’re confident. When you feel proud of the work you do and confident of your skills and your ideas.

    But what about the times you don’t feel so confident? The times you just joined a new role,  the times you enter a networking even full of more “experienced” people, or the times you are dealing with a bunch of other problems at the back of your mind.

    It may be hard to find the motivation and conviction to use your voice then, but it IS still possible, and actually, it is by using your voice that you will start rebuilding your confidence.

    In this week’s episode, I’ll share with you a process to find out WHY you’re not as confident as you’d like, and what you can do to use your voice even when that’s the case.

  • Has finding your Purpose been something that’s been on your mind? And then honestly – has finding your purpose been feeling like you’re hitting a wall? What does it really mean to Find your Purpose?

    One of the most common questions I’ve gotten when I meet new people is they ask me “Rae, you’re running your own global coaching business, speaking on stages in front of thousands, and when you talk about your work you’re SO PASSIONATE. How did you discover that this is what you wanna do?

    Strangely enough, what helped me discover my purpose was actually NOT fretting so much about finding my purpose. I share EXACTLY what I mean in this episode and how you can set yourself on the path of discovering your purpose.

  • Have you ever avoided a conversation you NEEDED to have with someone? You know it has to happen but you’re afraid of ruffling feathers or “making it a big deal”.

    Perhaps it is at work, when your colleagues don’t give their best as you give yours. Or your boss who doesn’t seem to respect after-work hours.

    Maybe it's your parents or partner who don’t seem to understand your POV no matter how much you explain, and just keep giving you unsolicited advice. 

    Or a friend who constantly rants and whines about her life and you always feel drained by your conversations. You don’t know what or how to approach the conversation.

    Avoiding these tough conversations could ultimately HARM YOU. 

    In this episode of the "Own Your Voice Pod", I share about the harmful consequences of avoiding tough conversations, and how we can best handle them.
