How Two Mothers Became Kindred Spirits

Journey of SELF began in an unexpected place: while chaperoning our children and their fellow 8th graders on a school retreat.

As we supported our group of young people in reflection and growth, we found ourselves in quiet, meaningful conversations of our own. Beneath our different cultural backgrounds, Asian and Latina, we discovered a shared devotion to personal growth, inner truth, and the lifelong journey of becoming oneself. That retreat became a mirror. As our children stood at a threshold, so were we.

Why We Created Journey of SELF

Both of us had spent years exploring healing, self-awareness, embodiment, and creative expression...each in our own way. We had walked through our own seasons of reinvention, carrying stories shaped by culture, family, expectations, and resilience. We both sensed that many women in midlife are living in a space where they’ve done what was asked of them, given so much of themselves, and yet feel uncertain about what comes next.

Journey of SELF is our response.

It is a free online event series and gathering place for women who are quietly hungry in the soul and for those who have something heartfelt to offer. Through nurturing conversations, multicultural voices, and diverse modalities such as healing, art, movement, and self-awareness, we create experiences that help women feel seen, represented, and more deeply connected to themselves.

What SELF Means to Us

SELF stands for Soul’s Expression of Love and Fulfillment.

The topics we currently center on are Body Renewal, Emotional Freedom & Mental Clarity, Abundance, and Creative Self-Expression— each session offers a gentle invitation to release heaviness, gain insight, and remember who you are becoming.

Our hope is that you leave feeling inspired and a little more at home within yourself.
