Hey, I’m Kayden. And Life Didn’t Make It Easy for Me.
I grew up navigating two very different worlds — Chinese and Western — never fully belonging to either and trying to fit. Being different made me a target for bullying and judgment, and for a long time, I felt misunderstood and out of place. Those early experiences shaped deep inner struggles, but they also became the foundation of my growth. Through years of rebuilding, healing, and self-discovery, I transformed that pain into purpose — becoming a coach, author, and mentor dedicated to helping others do the same. My story is living proof that your beginnings do not define your future. That’s why I do these work: to show what’s possible beyond struggle, and to teach real, practical skills that help you create fulfilling lives and healthy, meaningful relationships — no matter where you start.
FROM LOSS TO PURPOSE
In my twenties, my life was forever changed when I lost my best friend, Alex, in a tragic car accident. The shock, grief, and unanswered questions shook my world and left me trying to make sense of pain that felt unbearable. Just as I began to find my footing again, I lost my father — on Christmas Day. That loss cut deeply, touching parts of me I didn’t yet have the language to understand. For a long time, grief shaped how I moved through life. It affected my relationships, my sense of direction, and how safe the world felt. But within that pain, something quietly began to shift. I immersed myself in learning about the human mind, emotional healing, and relationships — first to survive, then to rebuild. The path was not linear. But each step brought clarity, resilience, and purpose. Over time, that journey transformed into a calling: to help individuals and couples navigate loss, connection, and growth — and to show that even the deepest pain can become the foundation for a meaningful, grounded life.
From Insight to Transformation
Through my journey as a coach, I came to understand that people aren’t just searching for answers — they’re searching for safety, clarity, and someone who truly sees them. My work didn’t begin with a desire to build a platform; it began from lived experience. I shared what I was learning because I once needed that guidance myself while navigating grief, relationships, and identity. Over time, I made a conscious commitment: to help people move beyond survival and into self-trust, emotional strength, and meaningful connection. My approach isn’t about fixing or diagnosing — it’s about empowering. It’s practical, compassionate, and deeply human. I realised it was never just about coaching or mindset tools. It was about helping people reconnect with themselves, rebuild confidence, and create relationships and lives that feel aligned, grounded, and truly their own.
Reaching Millions AND Going Even Bigger
Helping one person at a time was incredible—but I knew I could reach so many more. Through my books, articles, workshops, and online sessions, I’ve been able to touch thousands of lives. And yet, I’m not stopping there. My mission is bigger: to create a space where everyone can feel seen, heard, and empowered to transform their relationships, their mindset, and their life. The goal isn’t just to reach millions—it’s to help each one live a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life.
The Mission Now
My mission is to create a world where people can build meaningful connections — starting with the relationship they have with themselves. I guide individuals to feel seen, heard, and understood, while helping them move through life’s challenges with clarity and emotional strength. Through this work, I empower people to cultivate healthy, loving, and fulfilling relationships in every area of their lives — and to build a life that truly feels like their own.
