Jane is a digital nomad, working on a full time job on the go, at various countries.
After going through a divorce, she decided to prioritise her mental well-being, healing and finding herself again. She needed space to heal from her trauma, and started traveling in the initial stages of the pandemic.
Jane and I discussed the concept of love, what it means to be Chinese, ego, her parents' parenting style, marriage, and what my biggest worry in life is. It was nearly a therapy session for me.
She is inviting anyone who can resonate with her to get in touch. She has set out to be of service to others, by sharing her experiences and thoughts. If you would like to get in touch with her, please do so!
