Liberté Chan Instagram – Make sure you live before you die.
In my twenties, I was obsessed with two things: school and work. My passion helped me attain my goals; I graduated early from college, got a Master’s Degree in Public Health my dream job of being a reporter in LA (and later meteorologist). I scheduled my days like a disciplined soldier: Gym, School, Work, Repeat.
While I enjoyed achieving my goals, I missed out on enjoying the process and in turn, missed out on life. I missed holidays, left family trips early, and was a no show for baby showers, bridal showers, bachelorette parties and family gatherings…welcome to working in news where the schedules don’t budge and if there’s breaking news, you’re working overtime, no questions asked (the good thing was I LOVED it, and felt like my on-air gig outweighed the sacrifice… 🤷🏻♀️)
But then…I experienced BURNOUT. Yup, my mom was right, I needed more balance in my life…
Today, I no longer work in news, but I still work my a** off daily (hey, once a disciplined soldier, always a disciplined soldier). Nowadays, I get to research health and wellness products/practices and share them with all of you. I also get to help the marketing team @softubspas (my dad’s business he started back in the 80s). And, I still get to make appearances on @ktlaunscripted (it’s on Mon-Fri @ 7pm).
I guess I’m sharing because if any of you are scared to make a big change in life, all I can say is if your heart and soul is pulling you away from your current situation… sometimes you have to leave something good if you want something great.
🙏
