Bio

Hello, this is Angie. I am a stay-at-home mom. I was born and raised in a strict and controlled family. My mother spoiled me as a way to control me, my father held high expectation of me. Throughout the years, I have been struggling with the issues of my family of origin. Playing as a victim who constantly blamed my parents for my suffering has already been enough for me.

Now, I am a grown-up adult who is capable of taking responsibilities for myself. Therefore, I began to analyze my past relationships trying to figuring out my old attachment mode. Throughout the study, I finally understood the influence my parents had played on me in my childhood, which sheds the lights for me to understand them. Tapping into their stories made me realize that they had also been deeply hurt by their parents and reflections was absent from generations to generations, the cyclical cycle repeated.

When I realized that, my past resentments and hate started to collapse. Instead, the seeds of love filled the void, leading to the change of my relationship with them. When I gave them love, love flowed back to me, what an amazing experience. Now I become more certain than ever that I am capable of mothering my inner child in a way that she wants. Also I become more confident that I can break the circle by nurturing my daughter in a way that she can feel  accepted, seen and understood. I want her to know this is the best gift I can ever give to her.  Hopefully, she can pass it to her offsprings.

My Buddhism background reminded me to feel compassionate about people's sufferings. And I also believe that everyone has his own Karma to follow, so I am not here to change you. Instead, I prefer to use high-quality questions to help you to search for your answers within. Change needs a strong motivation and the push of our fate. Take easy, little by little, we will get there eventually. Best wishes:)

Anxiety Support / by butterflyjie86

...See more Reality The so-called real world is a space where one removes all filters, lets go of judgment, and fully immerses oneself in the present moment through the five senses of the body. Everyone is inherently endowed with the ability to perceive reality. Yet in the current swept by desire and material pursuits, people gradually lose this awareness. The mind is wrapped layer upon layer in the anxiety of the times—driven by rapid technological advances and rampant materialism: intense educational pressure on children, endless KPIs, cutthroat competition, career fears amid the rise of AI… All are reshaping how we think. People cling to the idea of becoming better, becoming stronger, believing this alone will keep them steady amid the tides of the era. Yet the antidote to anxiety is precisely to reawaken the connection between the body and the real world. Put down your phone, sit quietly with yourself for a few moments. Feel the gentle brush of fabric against your skin. Listen to the chirping of birds. Watch dewdrops rolling on leaves. Breathe in the faint fragrance of flowers… When you focus on sensing all this, you enter a state of flow aligned with the universe. You feel utterly loved. Your mind ceases its chasing and worrying. An inner peace, tranquility, and abundance well up from within. In this moment, you deeply understand the wisdom: you are already complete, and need nothing from outside. Living with this clear insight, your heart becomes fully awake. You see how a material-obsessed society drives the masses forward in a mindless rush, much like your former self—exhausted, trapped, unable to break free. Yet you also feel deeply grateful, for through reconnecting with the real world, you have gained the wisdom to master desire. You learn to balance material and spiritual life, to care for your physical body, nourish your soul, and devote more time and energy to family, friends, and loved ones. In short, you understand the art of letting go and choosing. When the day comes that your physical body wears thin and nears its end, you will accept its fading with calmness. For you have loved it well, lived a real life through it, and carried countless beautiful memories in your heart. A life like this is enough.

The healthy relationship

...See more I believe the healthy relationship depends on how confident you can express yourself in your relationship. You stop pleasing your partner and instead you tell them exactly what you want in a proper way. If they make you feel bad and consume your energy, just leave for good. What do you think of healthy relationship?
