Yiqing (yee-ching) is an award-winning actor, filmmaker, and creativity coach for artists and entrepreneurs.

She is the founder and CEO of Fearless Cutie Pie Productions - an all-women production company dedicated to telling cathartic stories with strong Asian female leads.

She found her calling in helping people with their minds and souls through storytelling after a miserable failure in a depression study when she was a medical student in China.

She helps heart-driven multi-hyphenates get unstuck, overcome burnout, and create more balanced, meaningful, and fulfilling lives.


Episode Summary - 

What do you do when you have to make an important or difficult decision?

Most of us look for help outside ourselves, either asking someone we trust or seeing out help from experts.

We tend to allow our over-thinking, fear, and bias to lead us to ignore the superpower we all have available to us, our intuition.

When confused or stuck, listen to intuition, your inner voice, or sixth sense, whatever you choose to call it, and most importantly, trust it.

When you listen to your intuitions, you get to find yourself, make the right decision, and take action without fear.

In this episode, Yiqing Zhao shares her story of how listening to her intuition has helped her live a happy and successful life.

“Whatever you don’t consciously object to, you unconsciously accept it.”
