☁️ IN A PAST LIFE...

I was the founder of Tribeless, an award winning empathy training company. We are the creators of The Empathy Box©, a tool that creates a safe space for empathetic conversation. We ship to over 30+ countries.

In 2023, I handed over the reins to Tribeless to our CEO, Shawn, so I could step into my soul calling as an Astrologer. Best decision I've ever made ♡

ASTROLOGY 🪐

A Little Intro 🪐

Hi, I’m Gwen Yi, and I’m a witch. Specifically, I’m an astrologer, which is pretty much the same thing.

ASTROLOGY 🪐

Burgers For Breakfast 🍔

This Aries season, I'm learning to unapologetically own my desires –– one breakfast burger at a time.

twinning with a hornbill 🦜🧡 22.02.25 !!

an early birthday celebration with my best girls 🪐 exploring the National Planetarium, falling in love with the stars again, terrorizing the Anti-Gravity Room, serenading trash cans, throwing French fries at hornbills, surprise banana splits & so much more.

birthday celebrations have only just begun and I’m already bursting with gratitude 🥹

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!! #31stbirthday

I have no idea how I survived this entire song but THANK YOU to @hao.chua, my long suffering Charleston surrogate 🥹🥹🥹❣️ we did so well!!!! Also it somehow evolved into a Jam Circle at the end, thanks for the encouragement friends 😆 I LOVE OUR SILLY LITTLE COMMUNITY.

feeling self conscious to post this, which is absolutely why I should 💭⬇️

since starting my Lindy Hop journey, the one thing I’ve been most terrified of is dancing by myself.

I feel like it’s tied to my fear of making mistakes and looking like a fool in public. even though no one is actually watching.

over the weekend, I had a lovely Empathy Box session with friends where I discovered that this fear of making mistakes is what is holding me back.

so this reel - totally random - filmed at the end of balboa practice with Zoey and Alex practicing in the background - is me playing around with the music for Charleston.

it’s not perfect. but I’m learning it doesn’t have to be :)

(( we start practices for my first ever solo jazz performance tomorrow. wish me luck! ))

love you x

𐔌⋆.˚ cny 2025 ₊ ⊹

building new traditions. connecting with long lost family and old family friends. taking things upon myself — to connect, to build my own relationships outside from the norm.

⟢ learning how to play Mahjong has brought me so much closer to my heritage, my roots, my Cina identity. so grateful to friends who so patiently play it with me 🥹

⟢ first 拜年 with my Suk Suk & Suk Meh. we been through so much together when my Ma Ma was sick — I visited them every week until she passed. it felt so meaningful to reach out & visit them on my own, coming home with the yummiest pineapple tarts 🍍

⟢ probably most meaningful of all was the lunch organized by my Ye Po. bringing all her grandnieces together for the first time in decades — we hadn’t met each other other than one “para para sakura 🌸” performance as kids. talking astrology, job hunting, and fashion with them while also having the craziest synchronicity come to light … life is crazy and beautiful and magical.

I’m so lucky. I’m so loved. happy lunar new year everybody x

Be well ostrich top 🥺🦃 sharing is caring!

Something that came up today in discussion was “if your closet was a person, how would you describe your relationship with them?”

In college my relationship with fashion was toxic. I could never fit in anything right and didn’t fully understand the implications of “retail therapy” on the planet. Today, I’d say it’s a lot more healthier and conscious. I’m working hard to curate a closet that is colorful, comfortable, and most importantly, me 🧡

Having participated in swaps since 2020, a new friend pointed out that my closet is mostly community made. There is a story, a conversation, a smile behind every piece. And that realization has made me happier than any words can say.

Enjoy this glimpse into our Feb swap — and come join us at the next one 💋💌 @fashrevmalaysia

picking up my new 🤓 today — I’m so excited!!!!!!!!

here’s why I think @pottglasses is slaying it here in 🇲🇾 :

✴︎ 1:1 personalized service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (my consultation took a whopping 2 hours, no ragrets!!)

✴︎ two-layer eye test, including insight into which is your dominant eye (I found this super interesting HAHAHA)

✴︎ face shape & glasses frames consultation (indecisive girlies, this is for you! ❣️ I fell in love with the first frame my consultant picked out for me, it wasn’t a color I would normally go for but I found it so cuuuute)

✴︎ tons of freebies and warranty hahaha 😝

✴︎ upfront pricing 💲💲💲 (they’ll calculate total cost for you based on budget, lifestyle, if you want blue light blockers etc)

📌 remember to pre-book your consultation online for RM50 off !!!

✴︎ TL;DR: I know how daunting it is to try somewhere new, but with @pottglasses I feel like your eyes will be in good hands 🤝

my consultant Mindy even helped me check if I have gl@ucoma coz my fam has a history of it 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 10/10 recommend !!!
