About Me – Shuang Min Chang

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing

From city to sea, from structure to flow my life has been a journey of love, clarity, and transformation.

Her essence

Five facets of who I am woven into every step of my journey, and every space I hold for you.

Shuang-Min Chang is a transformational coach who bridges corporate leadership with soulful living. With roots across Asia and Europe and a journey from high-pressure boardrooms to inner alignment, she guides visionaries and high-achievers to redefine success from the inside out. Her work is shaped by the many layers of her essence intuitive, a surfer of change, a thinker, a storyteller, and at times, a hermit.

Intuitive

I listen beyond words, sensing the energy and unspoken truths. This intuition guides how I help clients discover clarity and alignment within themselves.

Surfer

From the ocean I’ve learned flow, balance, and resilience. Surfing reminds me that life’s waves aren’t meant to be controlled they’re meant to be ridden.

Thinker

A mind shaped by global boardrooms and strategy roles,now channeled into asking deeper questions about meaning, success, and self.

Storyteller

I carry stories of my own transformation burnout, healing, alignment and I hold space for others to rewrite theirs with love and purpose.

A Hermit

In stillness, I find strength. The hermit archetype reflects my role as a lighthouse — retreating inward to shine light for others.

Defining experiences

Every chapter of my life has been a teacher shaping the way I guide others today.

15+ years in personal development and spiritual awakening

My journey began with questions bigger than success. Through meditation, energy work, and inner exploration, I learned that the real work is remembering who we truly are.

18+ years as an expat in India, Italy & China

Living across cultures taught me resilience, adaptability, and the beauty of diversity. It showed me that alignment transcends language and borders it’s universal.

Recovered perfectionist & high-achiever

I once lived by the checklist: promotions, titles, achievements. Burnout taught me to let go of perfection, and to embrace progress, presence, and peace instead.

Practitioner of universal love, trust, and calm

These are not just ideals, but daily practices. They allow me to hold safe spaces for others where vulnerability is met with compassion, and fear dissolves into trust.

20+ years of retail & corporate leadership

The boardrooms gave me strategy, structure, and discipline. The burnout that followed gave me empathy. Together, they enable me to bridge the worlds of success and self-love.

The full story

Every place I’ve lived, every challenge I’ve faced, has been a chapter in learning love, clarity, trust, and freedom.

Milestone 1

#Love

Location & Age: Vancouver, Age 16

At sixteen, I discovered the lesson of self-worth. Far from home, I learned that love begins with how we see ourselves not with external validation. This was the seed that later grew into my philosophy of aligning success with self-love.

Milestone 2

#Clarity

Location & Age: Mumbai, Age 23

In the chaos of Mumbai, I faced depression head-on. The city taught me that clarity isn’t found in escaping pain, but in facing it with courage and honesty. It was here that I first broke free from inherited narratives and began redefining what success could mean.

Milestone 3

#Trust

Location: Italy

Italy was a lesson in trust in myself, in others, and in life’s unfolding. Away from familiar ground, I learned to navigate uncertainty with grace, realizing that surrender and trust often create more strength than control ever could.

Milestone 4

#Freedom

Location: Ocean

On the ocean waves, I discovered freedom. Surfing and flow taught me to let go, to embrace rhythm over rigidity, and to find power in presence. This was the final piece living not from striving, but from a state of embodied wholeness.

“When you see your life from a bird’s-eye view, you find the space to choose where your time and energy flow.”
