“Gift” from me to YOU
“I believe that every person is born with talent.” by Maya Angelou
There was a season in my life when I had to let go of everything, as if I were taking a “bungee jump” into the unknown — falling endlessly downward with no clear ground beneath me. Yet in the midst of that deep darkness, I encountered opportunities that shone like stars.
“Everyone has different talents, different styles and talents.” by Harry Shum Jr.
Just as the North Star becomes clearer against the darkest night sky, I began to sense an invisible order and flow within life itself. And eventually, I realized something profound: every person is born to be loved, and I, too, am worthy of love.
“Perhaps you are born with certain skills and talents...” by Pelé
That journey became one of the most precious experiences of my life. At the very bottom of my life, I discovered a hidden jewel called “Self-Care.” Through that journey, I gradually gained the strength to step out of the deep swamp of self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and self-denial.
“Truly gifted people never are interchangeable. They have unique talents.” by Warren Bennis
Inspired by the Emotional Intelligence (EQ) training I was deeply studying at Six Seconds, I organized this philosophy into 21 practical self-care keywords that could be applied in everyday life. That process eventually led to the publication of my e-book, TANTAN’s Self-Care 101.
“I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.” by Albert Einstein
The most meaningful moments in my emotional intelligence education work are when I witness people reconnecting with their own potential. I especially feel fulfilled when teaching about Vision and a Purpose-Driven Life. Yet at one point, I felt as though an important piece of the puzzle was missing. Then, almost miraculously, I encountered Spiritual Emotional Intelligence (Spiritual EQ).
“God gave me a voice to sing with, and when you have that, what other gimmick is there?” by Whitney Houston
The awe and deep inspiration I experienced through Spiritual EQ training remain unforgettable. The moment I encountered its philosophy, I realized that the work I had been doing was not simply a profession or career — it was a calling that made me feel truly alive.
My e-book, Tantan’s Self-Care 101, introduces the first stage of self-care: realizing how precious you truly are. The second stage is about helping that precious self step courageously into the world.
“Your gift is the thing you do the absolute best with the least amount of effort.” by Steve Harvey
Gift Coaching offers the third and final stage of the self-care journey.
It is the journey of illuminating the world through your own unique talents and inner light. And that light, in turn, becomes a gift to others. Likewise, people who reveal their own authentic colors become gifts to me as well.
Throughout this journey, I use the philosophy of Spiritual EQ as a compass. I also design retreats as immersive environments where people can experience Self-Care, Emotional Intelligence, and Spiritual EQ in the most joyful and transformative way possible.
“Everyone has a talent. What’s rare is the courage to follow it.” by Erica Jong
Gift Coaching is not simply an educational program.
It is a journey that helps people discover the Gift that has always existed within them — and empowers them to share it with the world.
A gift-like experience that helps you realize that you, yourself, are a gift sent into this world.
Are you ready to receive it?
