CHAPTER 6: AWAKENING THE COACH WITHIN

“I think 99 times and find nothing. I stop thinking, swim in the silence, and the truth comes to me.”

•  Albert Einstein

Inspired by Dr. Cherie—the “Mother of Coaching”—I joined the MMS Institute’s program in January 2019. It unearthed powerful questions, merging with my training background to guide clients from stuck to soaring.

Graduated as a MMS Executive Life Coach in 2019

Galina, a client turned MMS star, amplified the ripple. That Koh Lanta trip deepened the calling: I was the “odd one out” without a beach property, but my subconscious noted it. Covid hit like a tsunami—lockdowns, fear, chaos. Mum’s video call urged: “Get to the beach.” Trusting instinct, I convinced friend Pen to flee to a remote house in Huay Yang, 2 hours south of Hua Hin. We arrived at night, evading roadblocks, waking to empty sands and sunrises.

Two months of fishing, sailing, beach workouts, BBQs—living the dream amid global implosion. Isolation wasn’t exile; it was rebirth. Returning to Bangkok, I moved to State Tower overlooking the river—a watery muse. But the city felt confining; my truth demanded more.
