From Overwhelmed to Grounded in Motherhood
While balancing motherhood, responsibilities in her family business, and the visibility that comes with being a content creator, Yik Kwan came to coaching wanting support feeling more present, grounded, and emotionally steady amidst chaos of motherhood. Together, we explored the patterns, beliefs, and perspectives shaping her experience so she could move through motherhood with more calm, clarity, and self-trust.
The Challenge
Before coaching, Yik Kwan often felt trapped in a cycle of reacting to the demands of motherhood while carrying the pressure of trying to do everything “perfectly.”
She wanted support navigating:
Overwhelm and emotional reactivity
Limiting beliefs and outdated narratives
Guilt and pressure around motherhood
Balancing her needs alongside parenting responsibilities
Feeling more grounded and present in daily life
What We Worked On
Together, we focused on helping Yik Kwan reconnect with herself while reframing how she experienced motherhood through:
The Matrescence Wheel
Values and alignment work
Perspective-shifting coaching conversations
Designing intentional actions and habits
Exploring identity beyond perfectionism and guilt
Building self-awareness around mindset and emotional patterns
What Shifted
One of Yik Kwan’s biggest breakthroughs was realizing that while she could not control every situation, she could change how she responded to them.
She shared: “I often felt trapped in a cycle of reaction, but Tingi helped me step back and realize that while I cannot control every situation, I have absolute power over my perspective and response.”
Through coaching, Yik Kwan experienced what she described as a “paradigm shift” that allowed her to move from overwhelm toward a calmer and more grounded approach to motherhood.

Yik Kwan’s Feedback
“Tingi helped me release outdated narratives that were holding me back, allowing me to embrace a more optimistic and proactive approach to life’s challenges.
She taught me to reframe the chaos and the guilt into moments of connection and grace, helping me see that being a ‘perfect’ mother is less important than being a present one.
I no longer feel overwhelmed by the chaos. I feel grounded, present, and capable.”
