An INFJ talks about navigating inner work, self love, asian mental health, relationships, and adulting.
After one year hiatus, I am back with season 2! In this episode, I wanted to discuss about relationships 💛 We weren’t taught how to love or be in a healthy relationship at school so many of us are navigating this on our own or looking towards others for help. I am one of them! Whether you are single or in a relationship I hope this episode can make you feel less alone. Learning how to be single is also something we all go through and in this digital age, it can be challenging when all you can see are couple photos, posts, or vlogs. At the end of the day know that you are way more than enough and capable of living a happy life whether you are attached or not! ❤️ Follow me on Instagram to connect with me 😊@manifestmerakiiSend me a message if you enjoyed this podcast episode and let know know what your relationship lessons are?

In this episode, I talk about two big life lessons that took me a long time to learn, “how to grow in love with yourself as an Empath” and how to “stop seeking validation from others. ✨Being an empath we can fall in love with others really easily. We tend to put the needs of our partner or friend first. In fact, these behaviours prevent us from cultivating healthy relationships with people. We all are prone to getting addicted to the feeling when people “like” our social media posts and it feels damn good when someone compliments you on a photo with a “gurrlll you look hot” or “broo someone is lookin thicc”. But, external validation only gives us temporary happiness and confidence about ourselves.
Here I share my personal experiences of seeking validation from relationships and how I learned to grow in love with myself more each day. I hope you enjoyed this episode lovely listeners <3 If you are on a similar journey to self-love and healing, feel free to reach out to me on my instagram at @manifestmerakii . ✨💕
In this episode, I talk about a topic I’m very passionate about, “child healing. Is it too late to start nurturing your inner child and be improve your self esteem, confidence and self love? 🥰How do we raise emotionally healthy children? 👶

In this episode, I talk about how to create more genuine friendships and relationships with people. ❤️Have you ever felt lonely even if you had people around you? Do you struggle with opening up or being yourself when you are with others? This is a sign that you are around the wrong people. Your friends should make you feel supported and accepted no matter if you are thriving or failing in life. Making more social connections is overrated. There should be a greater focus on creating genuine connections with others. Let’s start by skipping the small talk 🙊and head right into the deep talks!

In this episode, I talk about how we can give ourself “self love” by understanding our love language. ✨The 5 love languages proposed by Gary Chapman are: Words of affirmation, Quality time, Receiving gifts, Physical touch, and Acts of Service. 🥰 Are you stuck in quarantine or lacking some love? 🥺No need to worry! As long as you have yourself you can always feel loved. You are capable enough to give yourself that tingling feeling and butterflies 🦋 without waiting for “the one” or your partner to give that feeling to you.
Who knew by simply learning about your love language can make you feel more love in your life ❤️

HAPPY 2021! 🎉✨In this episode, I am back with my sister Nancy aka @deartomyame to talk about our reflections for the year of 2020. What a year it was! There were huge lessons we learnt in that year when our goals had to be adjusted and changed. Despite the world changing we managed to stay motivated to achieve our goals and engage in things that align with our values. The year of 2020 for us was all about finishing one chapter of our life - graduating from uni; self-love and healing , and living in the present, and finding meaning in life outside of external things (i.e. success and money and a car).
What have you learnt in 2020, the year that everyone just wants to forget? What are your 2021 resolutions?
I hope you all enjoyed this episode. Let’s start the year with good intentions, and more love and appreciation! 💕✨
