That Uncertain Inner Child (with Raven)

That Uncertain Inner Child (with Raven)

Welcome to the Uncertain Pathfinders (UP) podcast, where we ask listeners, cohosts, and guests to invite Uncertainty and unlock possibility. (中文往下👇） On this episode, cohosts Jeffrey and Miranda welcome Raven into the studio. Raven is an artist and Mindfulness & Life Coach helping people reconnect with their inner voice, navigate emotions, and cultivate presence in daily life through guided meditation and one-on-one coaching. She is the founder of Visiting Now, a brand built on the power of presence. It is a practice of visiting life, inviting you back to the "now." On this episode, Raven shares her own journey with Uncertainty, a journey that was predicted to end over a decade ago. Ever since then, Raven has been "living beyond the script," and given multiple chances in the "video game of life." She talks about discoveries made while traveling, the video game philosophy of life, poor advice given by HR managers, and her connection with music, art, and the beauty of all things. She also reminds us to stay in touch with the inner child that resides in us all.

Uncertain Fish Out of Water: 不確定的離水之魚 （中文為主）

在這一集的 Uncertain Pathfinders Podcast 中，我們展開一場有點不一樣的對話——這次的起點，不是來自職場上的連結，而是來自一段更貼近生活的人際關係。（English Below) 在這集以中文為主的節目中，我們邀請到的來賓是魚魚老師，她曾是主持人 Jeffrey 女兒的幼兒園老師。當我們得知她即將離開教職，踏上一條全新的道路——進入室內設計領域時，也引發了一個問題： 👉 當我們像「離水之魚」一樣跳出舒適圈，去迎接新的挑戰時，那會是什麼樣的感受？ 在這段對話中，Jeffrey、Miranda 和魚魚老師，一起探索轉換跑道所帶來的不確定性、重新成為新手所需要的勇氣，以及在全然陌生的環境中，如何面對那種「格格不入」的感覺。 我們談到她對教學的熱愛、個人價值與家庭期待之間的拉扯，以及那些看似安靜卻深具力量的練習——像是寫日記，如何幫助她在過程中持續與自己保持連結。 在對話的過程中，我們也輕鬆地延伸到「小費包」的哲學，並一起思考：當我們逐漸長大，該如何持續學習、成長，並勇敢地挑戰自己。 這是一段關於轉變、關於自我認同，以及關於那些夾在其中的過渡空間的故事——在這些空間裡，「不確定」始終扮演著重要的角色。 🔗連結： Uncertain Pathfinders website [https://uncertainpathfinders.com/] Uncertain Pathfinders IG [https://www.instagram.com/uncertainpathfinders/] 魚魚老師IG [https://www.instagram.com/fish.1022/] Connect with Uncertain Pathfinders [https://forms.gle/gU8LsfhYfW34c2bt8] In this episode of the Uncertain Pathfinders Podcast, we step into a different kind of conversation—one that begins not from a professional network, but from personal connections. On today's Chinese-language episode, our guest, 魚魚老師, was the previous preschool teacher to the daughter of one of our hosts, Jeffrey. When we learned she would be leaving teaching to pursue a new path in interior design, it sparked questions: 👉 What does it feel like to suddenly jump out our zone of comfort to pursue new challenges, like a fish out of water? In this conversation, Jeffrey, Miranda, and 魚魚老師 explore the Uncertainty of changing careers, the courage it takes to become a beginner again, and what it means to feel like a “fish out of water” in a completely new environment. We talk about her love for teaching, the tension between personal values and family expectations, and the quiet practices—like journaling—that help her stay connected to herself along the way. Along the journey, we even take a playful detour into the philosophy of 小費包, and reflect on what it means to keep learning, growing, and challenging ourselves as we get older. This is a story about transition, identity, and the spaces in between—where Uncertainty plays a major role. 🔗Links: Uncertain Pathfinders website [https://uncertainpathfinders.com/] Uncertain Pathfinders IG [https://www.instagram.com/uncertainpathfinders/] 魚魚老師IG [https://www.instagram.com/fish.1022/] Connect with Uncertain Pathfinders [https://forms.gle/gU8LsfhYfW34c2bt8] Leave a comment and share your thoughts: https://open.firstory.me/user/cm81rx1oo07d7012vcyv33asu/comments [https://open.firstory.me/user/cm81rx1oo07d7012vcyv33asu/comments] Powered by Firstory Hosting [https://firstory.me/zh]

Spotlight on Uncertainty: Joyful Curiosity (Part 2)

Welcome to the Uncertain Pathfinders (UP) Podcast, where we invite listeners, hosts, and guests to embrace uncertainty and unlock new possibilities. (中文往下👇） This episode is Part 2 of our series, “Spotlight on Uncertainty: Joyful Curiosity,” released in the lead-up to Mental Health Awareness Month. As part of this series, we’re highlighting perspectives from mental health professionals on how we can better understand and navigate uncertainty in our lives. In Part 1, we heard from mindfulness practitioners John Ho, Bernice Chai, and Joanna Chen, who shared their experience collaborating on a mindfulness workshop at COSCUP Taiwan 2025, a major open-source technology conference. Together, they guided tech professionals through a wide range of mindfulness practices—demonstrating what can happen when people step into uncertainty and choose to create something together. In this episode, we continue that story with licensed art therapist Stephy Hsu, joining us remotely from Vancouver. Stephy shares her personal journey with uncertainty, her work in art therapy, and her perspective that uncertainty is always present—the key lies in how we choose to respond to it. We also explore her upcoming transition into entrepreneurship as she prepares to launch Soulverse in May 2026. 🎧 Tune in to hear how creativity, mindfulness, and “joyful curiosity” can transform our relationship with uncertainty.

Spotlight on Uncertainty: Joyful Curiosity (Part 1)

Spotlight on Uncertainty: Joyful Curiosity (Part 1) (中文往下👇） Welcome to the Uncertain Pathfinders (UP) podcast, where we ask listeners, guests, and the hosts to invite Uncertainty and unlock possibility. This episode is breaking new ground for a number of reasons : * The first episode where the host and UP founder, Jeffrey, records solo without a co-host * We break the episode up into two parts, where we invite a guest from abroad to record remotely (licenced Art Therapist, Stephy Hsu (Yi-Hsuan) * We go with an entirely different structure On part one of this two-part episode, we invite three professionals from the mental health industry to join us in the studio. They are mindfulness practitioner, John Ho, mindfulness facilitator and MBSR instructor, Joanna Chen, and founder of New Life and Certified Health and Wellness Consultant, Bernice Chai. Rather than going with our usual format, the three of them join Jeffrey in the studio to help shine a spotlight on a story that applies a successful case-study of inviting Uncertainty to produce magical moments and valuable professional contributions.  John Ho, who resides in Portland, Oregon, took a chance and submitted a mindful session proposal for the COSCUP Taiwan 2025 tech conference.  And to his surprise, it was accepted by the organizer team and furthermore, he was given a 3 hour time slot. After earning that honor, John made the bold decision to reach out to the three other guests on today’s episode (as well as Stephy and Jessie Chang, founder of HealYou, and another previous guest on the UP podcast). At the time, John had briefly met Jessie in Taiwan over coffee chats and only knew the others from their online presence. He made the uncharacteristic choice to connect with all of them, and invited Uncertainty by asking them if they would like to co-lead a 3 hour session at the tech conference. This episode highlights what happens when 5 strangers invited Uncertainty and said yes to unlocking possibilities of working together on a specific project. This episode is the first time they have come back together since that experience. They share what was going through their mind throughout the experience, and how the overall process has changed their views on Uncertainty in a positive note.

Let’s continue to Invite Uncertainty and unlock possibility! 🌿 不確定焦點：喜悅的好奇心（上） 歡迎來到 Uncertain Pathfinders（UP）播客，在這裡，我們邀請聽眾、來賓與主持人，一起邀請「不確定」，並解鎖更多可能性。 這一集對我們來說具有多重突破的意義： * 這是主持人暨 UP 創辦人 Jeffrey 首次單獨錄製，沒有共同主持人 * 本集分為上下兩部分，並邀請來自海外的來賓遠端錄音（持證藝術治療師 Stephy Hsu（Yi-Hsuan）） * 我們採用了全新的節目結構 在這個兩集系列的上集，我們邀請了三位來自心理健康領域的專業人士來到錄音室。他們分別是： 正念練習者 John Ho、正念引導師暨 MBSR 講師 Joanna Chen，以及 New Life 創辦人暨認證健康與健康顧問 Bernice Chai。 不同於以往的節目形式，這一集三位來賓與 Jeffrey 一同聚焦在一個故事上——一個透過「邀請不確定」而創造出奇妙時刻與專業價值的成功案例。 居住在美國俄勒岡州波特蘭的 John Ho，曾大膽嘗試，向 COSCUP Taiwan 2025 科技大會 提交一場以正念為主題的提案。令他驚喜的是，該提案不僅被主辦單位採納，還獲得了一個長達三小時的時段。 在獲得這個機會之後，John 做出了一個大膽的決定——他主動聯繫本集的三位來賓（以及 Stephy 和 HealYou 創辦人、曾上過 UP 播客的 Jessie Chang）。當時，John 只是在台灣與 Jessie 有過簡單的咖啡交流，而對其他人則僅止於網路上的認識。 他選擇跨出這一步，主動建立連結，並邀請「不確定」——詢問他們是否願意共同帶領這場三小時的工作坊。本集呈現了當五位原本幾乎互不相識的人，選擇邀請不確定並說「是」，共同投入一個具體合作時，會發生什麼樣的故事。這也是他們在那次經驗之後，首次再次聚在一起。他們分享了整個過程中的心境變化，以及這段經歷如何正向地改變了他們對「不確定」的看法。 🔗 相關連結 * 官方網站：www.uncertainpathinders.com [http://www.uncertainpathinders.com] * Instagram：https://www.instagram.com/uncertainpathfinders/ [https://www.instagram.com/uncertainpathfinders/] * John Ho 的 LinkedIn：https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnho/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnho/] * Bernice Chai 的 LinkedIn：https://www.linkedin.com/in/bernicechaiwellness/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/bernicechaiwellness/] * Joanna Chen 的 LinkedIn：https://www.linkedin.com/in/joannachen-yunchih/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/joannachen-yunchih/] * Stephy Hsu 的 LinkedIn：https://www.linkedin.com/in/yi-hsuanhsu/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/yi-hsuanhsu/] * Jessie Chang 的 LinkedIn：https://www.linkedin.com/in/taofang-chang/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/taofang-chang/] * HealYou：https://www.healyou.io/ [https://www.healyou.io/] 再次感謝你的收聽！ 歡迎留言分享你對本集的想法，我們也期待在下一集（下集）與 Stephy 一起，迎接五月的心理健康意識月。 如果你有興趣與 UP 進行 1 對 1 的職涯或人生教練合作， 或你的組織有興趣舉辦以「邀請不確定」、「擁抱失敗」，以及透過應用即興與非暴力溝通（NVC）來促進建設性衝突的工作坊， 歡迎透過我們的 Pathfinder 聯繫表單與我們聯絡： 👉 https://forms.gle/J8qLqKsLferEZk8f8 [https://forms.gle/J8qLqKsLferEZk8f8]或來信：uncertainpathfinders@gmail.com [或來信：uncertainpathfinders@gmail.com] 讓我們一起持續邀請不確定，並解鎖更多可能性！ 🌿 Leave a comment and share your thoughts: Powered by Firstory Hosting [https://firstory.me/zh]
