Heart Open ConversAsians
A thoughtfully curated space where intentional and honest conversations are had and held for and with a community I hold near and dear to my heart: the Asian collective. Every month, you’ll hear a guest join me in conversation, followed by a solo episode in the same month where I share and weave in my reflections and learnings from that conversation.
Together, we’ll exchange stories of our uniquely hard yet beautiful lives, our journeys, learned experiences and lessons, with the hope that it will encourage and empower you to live out your one precious yet nuanced life that is most true and most YOU. I’m that friend you can count on as we walk together on this journey to learn to embrace and make space for all parts of us. You’re welcome here.

Clara Nah: On Life Pivots, Healthy Relationships with Our Bodies and Cultivating Lasting Habits
Have you ever had those conversations where you’re connecting with them for the first time, but yet it feels like you could talk to them until the end of time, in a way that feels spacious energetic yet easy? My guest joining me on the pod today was all that, and then some for me.
This unicorn of a human on the pod today is Clara Nah. A fellow Singaporean, Clara is a solo-preneur as a fitness and transformation coach who’s passionate about helping others show up every day as the most fulfilled version of themselves by shedding the weight of self-doubt and insecurity and step boldly into their power to create the life and body they desire.
With a spirit full of zest, enthusiasm, and courage, coupled with some calculated planning and support through peers and mentors, Clara took the leap of faith to embark on her coaching journey full-time after walking away from her hard-earned law degree and the opportunity to practice law. An unconventional decision some might say (and by some I meant our loving but more traditionalistic older Asian generations aka our Asian parents), but one that by the end of this conversation, takes little to witness and realize how much doing this work means to Clara.
We spent this time together diving into:
- Her WHY for embarking on this journey
- Why we all could use help from a coach to improve our relationship with fitness
- The real key to effecting lasting change in our lives
- How a clarity call with one person (who would eventually become her mentor) altered her decision to give up on her coaching business
This was a conversation that was an absolute delight and a serotonin boost like no other. I could chat with this gal FOREVER.
