After 2 years, The Proper Paupers are finally home. Join Rae as she listens to dangerously adventurous stories from Gracia, her friend of 10 years. Gracia and her partner Yee Jia have spent 2 years on the road. In the first year, they built a van from scratch (with zero experience) and travelled across all 48 states of America. In the second year, they cycled over 20,000km across 21 countries by tandem bicycle (yes, two people coordinating on a single bike).
From hitchhiking to being escorted by armed personal, receiving generous acts of kindness from people who have barely enough for themselves, and experiencing the purest moments of connection, Gracia shares the highest highs and lowest lows of their journey.
Gracia and her partner had a dream to see the world, but did not have a lot of money. That marked the start of The Proper Paupers, as they wanted to travel properly despite being on a pauper-tight budget. If you have even a spark of an adventurous spirit, dreams of seeing the world, or just love a good story, you don’t wanna miss this podcast episode!

*This is a Bonus Podcast from Rae’s YouTube video. Do watch the YouTube video for the full experience, here — https://www.youtube.com/@RaeFung
It is my 25th birthday tomorrow, 28th November.
As I look at my life today and compare it to where I was 5 years ago, I find that it’s almost unrecognisable. Not just is my life different, my entire being is different — the way I think, the way I speak, the amount of belief and love I have for myself — is worlds apart.
Rae 5 years ago would NEVER imagine she can be doing work she truly loves today, much less travel and work from anywhere. She was once the girl that woke up everyday unhappy and uninspired, feeling like a failure in everything she does.
And yet, here I am. Looking back, I realised that there were 3 things I needed to unlearn in order to break free from the life people wanted me to live, and start building the life I wanted to live so that I can be happy.
I needed to unlearn these limiting beliefs and patterns that were running my thoughts, emotions and actions, and adopted new ones that expanded and inspired me.
There is a DISTINCT difference between Making friends and Networking. Both are important. the problem comes when we don’t know the differences and way to approach it and end up tiring yourself out.
Many people think — oh I wanna network, let me meet more people. But problem is — meet WHO? Who are the people you wanna meet more of? We all have limited time, we can’t spend time with everyone.
If you want to grow a quality network and advance your career and business, you need to master the skill of networking so that you connect with the people whom can support you, and you can contribute to them.
Many people make the mistake of using their “making friends” approach in networking. They spend so much time meeting so many people but end up exhausted and not meeting their objectives.
In today’s episode, I’ll share with you the Similarities AND Distinct Differences between making friends and networking. You’ll also learn some practical steps you can take to be more effective in your networking.

It’s easy to use your voice when you’re confident. When you feel proud of the work you do and confident of your skills and your ideas.
But what about the times you don’t feel so confident? The times you just joined a new role, the times you enter a networking even full of more “experienced” people, or the times you are dealing with a bunch of other problems at the back of your mind.
It may be hard to find the motivation and conviction to use your voice then, but it IS still possible, and actually, it is by using your voice that you will start rebuilding your confidence.
In this week’s episode, I’ll share with you a process to find out WHY you’re not as confident as you’d like, and what you can do to use your voice even when that’s the case.
You’ll learn simple ways you can use your voice TODAY that will make a MASSIVE difference in transforming your confidence.

Networking is unavoidable. As long as you want to progress in your career you’ll need to talk to people and you’ll need to meet new people.

Question is — how do we do it?

Have you ever just didn’t feel like speaking up because you have so much on your mind? Or are you going through a stressful season and you just don’t feel like using your voice?
I received this podcast episode suggestion on Instagram, and it’s so timely because I've been working through some stresses in this season. For the past week I’ve been going through some tough life challenges and decisions. I’ve had one day where I cried 3 times while speaking to 3 different friends.
And so this entire week, I didn’t feel like spontaneously showing my face on social media. I didn’t feel as excited to use my voice. And it’s NORMAL. Dealing with ups and downs is part of life. Owning our Voice is down to how we HANDLE It.
In today’s episode, I’ll share 3 points that helped me Own My Voice.

Has finding your Purpose been something that’s been on your mind? And then honestly – has finding your purpose been feeling like you’re hitting a wall? What does it really mean to Find your Purpose?
One of the most common questions I’ve gotten when I meet new people is they ask me “Rae, you’re running your own global coaching business, speaking on stages in front of thousands, and when you talk about your work you’re SO PASSIONATE. How did you discover that this is what you wanna do?
Strangely enough, what helped me discover my purpose was actually NOT fretting so much about finding my purpose. I share EXACTLY what I mean in this episode and how you can set yourself on the path of discovering your purpose.

Have you ever avoided a conversation you NEEDED to have with someone? You know it has to happen but you’re afraid of ruffling feathers or “making it a big deal”.
Perhaps it is at work, when your colleagues don’t give their best as you give yours. Or your boss who doesn’t seem to respect after-work hours.
Maybe it's your parents or partner who don’t seem to understand your POV no matter how much you explain, and just keep giving you unsolicited advice.
Or a friend who constantly rants and whines about her life and you always feel drained by your conversations. You don’t know what or how to approach the conversation.
Avoiding these tough conversations could ultimately HARM YOU.
In this episode of the "Own Your Voice Pod", I share about the harmful consequences of avoiding tough conversations, and how we can best handle them.

How do you make the most out of opportunities that may be dreary, and motivate yourself when doing responsibilities you're not passionate about?
What you’re doing as a job may not be the thing you’re most passionate about.
Sometimes after years of building your business, things get repetitive and you lose that spark
There will be aspects of your work you don’t enjoy – for me I love the speaking to people part, coaching part, but I don’t exactly love planning, using excel sheets and preparing proposals.
Here’s the problem: Do something without heart and people can tell. It gives off a certain energy. This energy creates your brand presence that stays with people. They’ll remember you for that.
Question today is – how can you do everything with excellence and inspiration even when you aren’t passionate about it?
As you listen to this podcast, I suggest downloading the document that comes with this, it includes the Powerful Guiding Questions I mention during this podcast. It is available in my Private Telegram Channel, which you may join here: http://bit.ly/SSpeakersSpecial
There are so many brilliant coaches and service-based entrepreneurs out there. There are plenty of smart and experienced people wanting the same job as you, striving for that promotion just like you are. What makes you different?
Here's the catch: You are different, you may not realise it, or may not be communicating it. Perception is Reality. You and I both know that everyone is unique. But if your potential client or employer sees your profile and it looks just like everyone else's, they will perceive you to be just another ____ (fill in the blank).
You are unique. Show that uniqueness. You can do that through owning and leveraging your unique story.
In today’s episode you’ll learn not just how you can Own Your Story, but the various ways you can and leverage it to set you apart in your industry. We’ll be talking about Owning Your Story so that you speak up and show up with unshakeable confidence and unforgettable presence.
We’ll also be talking about Using Your Story in: building your business or personal brand, creating content that inspires and educates, in your interviews, and introducing yourself to someone new.

How can we use our fear to our advantage? How can we build up our courage so that we can develop the power and confidence to chase our dreams? What are the practical steps we can take right now to keep our fears in check?
Rae answers the above with Sha-En Yeo, a TEDx speaker, best-selling author and a graduate of the prestigious Master of Applied Positive Psychology (MAPP) program at the University of Pennsylvania.
She has been featured on national TV documentary ‘Chasing Happiness’, MyPaper, Business Times; and shared her wisdom on 938LIVE & MONEY 89.3FM. Over the past 10 years, she has trained and spoken to more than 20,000 people in Singapore and beyond.
Listen in for very practical tips and simple mindset shifts that can make the biggest difference!
We all have a plan. We plan to get our dream job by a certain age. We plan to get that prestigious internship during the summer. We plan to get that number of clients to build our business. We plan to get attached and married by 30. And sometimes, in fact, most times, things don't go according to plan. Here are the bumps and turns in my life, and three things that helped me through it. [Share your thoughts using #ThriveWithRae | Follow me @raematrix]
Fear cripples us. Fear limits us. Fear stops us from doing what makes us happy. Whether it is fear of failure, fear of embarrassment and criticism, fear of connection and relationships -- fear will stop us from achieving our greatest desires, and severely limit our potential, IF we don’t know how to handle it.
Today’s podcast is the first part of a two part series with Coach Jenny Quiros, a Strengths-Based Life Coach focused on helping people achieve wellbeing and fulfilment in life. Coach Jenny is a Practical Positive Psychology Specialist. Today, we will talk about the origins of fear, simple mindset shifts to break free from fear, and the essential ingredients to develop confidence and emerge courageous.
We are all wired to connect. Friends, family, community - they are an integral part of our lives. Our friends usually share our common interests or professions, so what happens if we change our professions? If we have a redirection of our priorities? We may naturally spend less time with our old group of friends, but does that mean we will lose them?
In this episode, I chat with Jing An, an entrepreneur, author, financial consultant and university student. He shares about the difficult social decisions he made when he entered the vibrant university and campus culture. Join the conversation as we chat about fear of judgement, transiting through phases of life, and managing priorities.
What struck you the most? Have you experienced fear or judgement? Fear of losing friends? It would mean a lot to hear from you. Head to my YouTube or Instagram and leave me a comment.

Today, I will be chatting with my friend Sejal who survived COVID-19 after spending 16 days in the National Centre for Infectious Diseases, NCID. Like me, Sejal is also a communications major in university and a freelance emcee.
To give some context, in November 2019, she shared with me, over lunch, about her excitement in planning her university exchange to the UK. She spent her holidays working extra jobs in order to save for her trip.
In March 2020, her elaborate travel plans were disrupted as she was recalled back to Singapore, only to be tested positive for COVID-19.
In this podcast, Sejal brings us through her lowest and highest points throughout her journey, and shares her biggest learning points.
