What we really appreciate about this interview with Jane back in 2021 is how she spoke so openly about how she dealt with her bouts of depression. She also shared how getting back in touch with her roots in Taiwan had a part in leading her to start her coaching practice. While she no longer offers the Multicultural Hero’s Journey course that she refers to in this episode, she is still actively coaching clients.
It’s our hope that Jane’s personal story can help destigmatize mental health and create more understanding about the coaching profession.
Here’s a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode:
Jane’s connection to Taiwan
How being a third culture kid (TCK) has shaped her identity and life purpose
Her career path before becoming a coach
Why she wanted to become a coach
Her personal journey, the struggles and depression that she dealt with along the way before she became a coach
Why she decided not to get a degree in counseling from Columbia University and instead got certified in coaching
What is coaching and how it differs from counseling or psychotherapy
Jane’s own experiences with coaching, being the person being coached by someone else
Jane’s advice on how to pick a coach to work with
The challenges Jane faced in becoming a coach
The depression and imposter syndrome she experienced in the process of becoming a coach
How Jane dealt with her self-judgment and learned to love herself
How Jane dealt with three bouts of depression
What she learned from going through depression
How someone can identify whether or not they themselves or someone they know is experiencing depression
How Jane created her Multicultural Hero’s Journey coaching program
Who would benefit the most by going through the Multicultural Hero’s Journey coaching program
Jane’s advice for people who are interested in becoming a coach
What it takes to be a good coach
