In this video, I really want to pull back the curtain and give you a raw glimpse

into who I really am and what I actually do.

I uploaded my very first video to YouTube on October 18th, 2016.

And since then, I've been consistently uploading videos on a weekly basis.

Where I share my advice and strategies on how to find and land a career that

Your career is something you spend 8 hours of your day at, every single day.

I know for me, if I'm not happy in my career, then I'm not happy period.

So I started my channel to help those who are probably feeling a little unhappy

in their jobs or in their careers and want to find something better.

So having started this video five months ago as of this video,

I've gone from zero to over 12,000 subscribers and counting.

And I get lovely comments from people everyday, so I want to thank you for that.

My favourites are actually those of you who have been able to land jobs

that you really wanted, after having watched my videos

on how to improve your resumes and your interviews.

So it always warms me up when I'm able to see the impact that I'm making and

I'm really happy that I started this channel.

or before I started my business as a Career Strategist & Intuitive Purpose Coach,

I was simply just a little girl with big dreams.

I'm actually the first Canadian-born child of immigrant parents,

And for those of you who are in a similar situation to me,

you would know that your parents put a lot of emphasis on making sure you're successful

And for the last 30 years my dad's been running a tire shop, he's still running that tire shop.

I remember being a little girl with my sister, being picked up by my dad after school.

Taken to his tire shop. That's where we would stay until he would close his shop every evening.

So I can remember playing hide and go seek with my sister

and getting my jacket, pants and shoes all dirty

from the oils and the dirt. From the tires that would be stacked up against the walls.

And I remember one winter, we were sitting in the car, my dad's car in the tire shop

because it was a bit cold out in the shop,

and eventually we said to each other, "I want to eat! What do you want to eat?"

So we'd see my dad, he was busy of course, serving his customers.

the both of us would literally just start banging on the windows, honking the horn,

and just screaming and being like, "We're hungry! We want to eat!"

And I could just see my dad being super stressed out.

and at the same time, he had two little girls under the age of ten

Even as a seven year old I can remember thinking to myself

at that point, "I don't want to do that when I grow up. I don't want to do this."

"I don't want to get my hands all dirty."

And so I studied hard and I got good grades, but truthfully

I never knew what I was going to do once school was over.

"I'm just going to get myself a good corporate job and once I make money, that's when I'll be happy."

And it was in my early twenties that I decided that I was going to become a CPA.

And it was purely because I associated CPAs to be professional and successful.

But to become a CPA, there are these exams you have to write and you have to pass them.

I was struggling so hard to try and pass these exams.

There were three exams, the first one, I barely passed.

Then the second one, I failed and I had to write that again the next year.

And then I eventually passed that. But the third one, I failed again and I had to pass that the next year.

But it took a while for me to pass all these exams.

And you know that whole experience, I would say really opened my eyes to

Throughout that process, I really had to learn what was holding me back? What was blocking me?

And that was when I really realized that it was more of a mindset thing

but it was more about how I approached the whole game.

And I think in life, this has really helped me to understand and maneuver

Because it's not about what you know, it's about how you act on what you know.

And how you approach the strategies that you come up with.

Now aside from just trying to pass these exams,

I was also working at a Big 4 accounting firm.

I started working at the firm as a summer student in university.

And for anyone who's in that accounting space and who's worked as a summer student,

You know that the summer is not at all representative of what "real life" is like.

the firm tends to be more relaxed, in terms of volume of work.

We would sit around in the cubicles, hang out. They called it the bullpen.

And I was totally convinced that this was going to be my life once I started working here full time.

I can remember when I started working full time, I would go to these client sites,

and it'd be eleven at night. And at that point I'd be so tired

and I wanted to take a break, 'cause, we didn't really take much breaks throughout the day.

when really, I'd grab my cellphone and run to a cubicle
