Gayu shares with us her 3 biggest life learnings to-date:
#LIFELESSON – 1 - HAVE COURAGE AND FOLLOW YOUR PASSION
My career started boldly in a professional kitchen. I was the first in my family to enter the hospitality industry and a rare female figure in a male-dominated field. My passion for food was the driving force behind my decision to become a chef. It was a role that allowed me to express creativity and skill in high-pressure environments. Yet, the courage to follow my passion didn't stop there.
Recognizing my growing interest in nutrition and its impact on health, I made the courageous decision to step out of the professional kitchen and transition into a role where I could directly influence women on how to approach eating for health and pleasure. Through my YouTube channel, I continue to engage with my love for cooking by sharing recipes that are delicious and nutritious, teaching that eating well can be both a joy and a wellness practice. This journey from a chef to a health advocate highlights the essence of courage in not merely pursuing your passions but in allowing them to evolve with you.
#LIFELESSON – 2 - BE OPEN TO LEARNING EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIFE
The path of learning is infinite, and my journey has been marked by an insatiable hunger for knowledge. With multiple certifications under my belt, I have explored various dimensions of this field of health and wellness. Each certification brought new insights and skills, significantly shaping my approach to health coaching.
My quest for knowledge goes beyond personal growth. Understanding the power of shared knowledge, I launched a podcast where I interview experts across different fields. This platform is not only a means to educate, but also a way to empower both myself and my listeners. Every episode is an opportunity to learn, reflecting my belief that each day and moment holds the potential for growth and discovery.
#LIFELESSON – 3 - EMBRACE CHANGE AS A GATEWAY TO RENEWAL
As I went through the transitions that came after turning 40, I discovered that this era is not only about facing inevitable changes but also about seizing them as opportunities for personal growth and reinvention. This phase of life challenged me to redefine my priorities and explore new passions, much like many others who reach this age. It is a period that tested my adaptability and resilience, especially as I encountered the natural shifts of menopause. My journey through these years taught me a crucial life lesson that our later years are not merely a time to settle into well-worn paths but a chance to boldly redefine them. Embracing change with a positive and proactive mindset has transformed what many view as a daunting time into one of the most enriching chapters of my life, filled with learning, growth, and empowerment.
