Where are you originally from? Taiwan

When did you join FIT4MOM? July 2023

What classes do you attend? First Stroller Strides, and then later exclusively HIIT and TRX in the evenings.

Who is/are your workout buddy(ies) and their age(s)? Theo, the ever challenging almost 2 year old.

What is your favorite thing about FIT4MOM? I come for the community and empathy. I love the monthly mom hang outs (I wish that I could attend more often)!

What is your current job? Or what did you do before staying at home (if you don’t currently work outside the home)? I’m a business development specialist at Sologic, a software/training company that specializes in root cause analysis (a super super niche term).

Share your thoughts on the concept of “it takes a village” – is it important for moms to join a village? Absolutely. Motherhood can be so isolating, no matter how many kids you have. It feels great to have a supportive community who can hear you vent, provide more horror stories, or offer you the elusive “it gets worse” as comforting words.

What is your favorite beverage? During this season, it is probably a hot chai.

What is your favorite dessert? Japanese matcha cheesecake.

You are given 4 hours of FREE babysitting. What would you do? Book a 21+ only restaurant and time it with a foreign movie at an independent theater in Seattle.

What is your ultimate child-free vacation destination? Anywhere is a vacation when it’s child free :)

How has becoming a mother changed you? I didn’t realize chaos and joy can coexist like this. One moment I want to scream at him, another I’m about to burst into tears just thankful he’s growing up and developing these huge milestones.

I am happiest when...I know I have my next travel planned.
