Oh, I was. At the expo last year with my team HPU Global. Yeah, last year. Yes. Oh, fantastic. And I understand that one of the things we’re going to talk about today is you have a new book coming up, right?
Oh, yes, absolutely. And I’m beyond excited about that. And I’m been preparing and for the last couple of months with editing yes, coming up very soon. , what inspired the book? So , I am the title holder of the Mrs. California Earth back in 2022 when there’s a COVID still ongoing.
And also my background, you know, I grew up in Vietnam and , it’s just a very challenging background, you know, and it’s all surrounded with the nature and I’d really fall in love with nature and just the path lead me to the holistic living as also just that journey inspired me to really. Bring out the book, you know, to share the knowledge to the women about the power of holistic living, the body, mind.
And spirit connection to have the beauty, to have the wellness the mental health, the physical beauty, the physical health as we desire to live the life fully as women. Because as you know, we carry a lot of responsibility, right, as a mom or wife or a partner or, you know, professional and personal living career.
So we really need to have that. Lead that lifestyle that leaves the best of us to bring out the best to the world. . I am a registered nurse, yes. And I’m many months ago, I pushed through that advanced holistic nurse. Oh, I learned so much. So I bring out to my book, I learned so much about a functional medicine, you know, all The holistic medicine, that we can do right at our home. We can apply , right at our home to nourish our body, nourish our mind and also to be happy with our family as well, to have the health, the best wellness, and also especially the beauty. We always deciding to have.
One of the things I like to do is to give, you know, tips , to our audience and things that are, kind of actionable. Can you provide maybe some practical tips from your book , or from your practice that can help empower people? Yes. So leaving the words with like, social media, ai, you know, let’s, we can see that, roll through everything, you know, we scroll the phone, we see how perfect, you know, with a field of beauty, right? I would say that to have that unfiltered mindset and just be authentic, be yourself and just remember that the beauty is combination is a balance of healthy body, a balance of healthy mind, and it will radiance outside.
And just thriving every day and learn empower yourself and nourish yourself with what we offer, like, the nature, you know, just the, healthy lifestyle, which I will go more and also the healthy mindset, . The mindset and the beauty is all about connecting with each other.
You feel great, you feel good, you’re happy, beauty comes along. But if you don’t take care of the other part, will bring you down. , I definitely have more affordable tips, right? But for the sake of this interview that’s what come up to my mind right now. As women, especially the social media coming around, AI, it’s a lot of stuff that can alter that mindset, yeah.
I know there’s a lot of different ways. You mentioned social media and other things to get your message out there and to get your message heard. Why did you feel it was important to write a book?
Well, I would say that the book is A reflection and it’s kind put together all the knowledge that you want together in one book, right? Social media. Yes, you can do , the real you , real up real, but here, like if a person just grab a book and they say, okay, all the information is there, it’s right there that I can need.
I can read on my travel or it just like, well, in my purse, something I need, I grab the books. It’s so easy, accessible. You don’t need to go to the phone and then search for. Okay, where’s the one that I need? It’s just right there on, , that you can fill out the chapters on the front page, so it’s easy access and it’s convenient, all in one book that capture all the topics, because it’s a variety of topics, I even talk about like breast cancer, cervical cancer the hormonal balances.
For the women, which is we go through a lot about how much affect our body, our mind with a hormonal balance, how much change it affect in our body. many topic in the book that we can like get to that and it’s like a equip us with the knowledge to live our life better.
For our as well. Yes. So , tell me a little bit , about your skincare brand. So tell me about HBU. So, yes, I, it’s like a couple years ago I partner with a co-founder my friends and they also expert in this. Skin care. So it’s just something I’m also passionate about, to have the beautiful skin and especially also a healthy body.
So , what comes to play is really, really, of course, not just skin, but I’m really passionate about the health and my partner passionate about beauty. So you know, we just friends and we come together and , we come up with the idea to, establish and. Found this brand and mission is to beautify yourself and find the perfect version of yourself.
And you can like beautify yourself right at the home, not have to go to spa. I could understand like how inconvenient and how time consuming to go to the beauty clinic and spa, so like we come up with some product like we can transform the skin right at your home environment.
, that’s great. When I look at your background and when I look at your writing the book or starting the skincare brand, , did you always want to be like an entrepreneur? Like, were you always the kind of person that always wanted to like, have a product or, you know, create something where you always kind of an entrepreneur type, would you say?
Oh, yes, yes. That’s my dream. And that’s my role. Yes, I do want to be in that level. And that’s why I want to have the more expertise in this area, right? I’m also passionate about holistically, holistically functional medicine. And as a resident of myself for over 15 years, and I want to like, get in depth.
Into that area of holistic living. That’s why go back to school and I’ve learned more and then I’m so happy. I passed the board exam and got my advanced holistic nurse certification. So I would like to like develop more like digital online product or coaching, program. And my mission is like, I would like to bring the knowledge .
And share like at the corporate level., not just women level, but rather now like all the , employee, because the more they know, knowledge is a power, right? And then I want to like influence people, empower people to take a lead and pay attention to those daily living to. Make themselves better, you know, less sick, right?
Less sick, more healthy lifestyle and things like that. So, yeah, definitely these are two products. Like develop an app. This is a one click away, easy access.
