Hi there! I’m a listener, explorer, lifelong learner, and connector. Also a friend, partner, confidant, and very enthusiastic cat mom.

I felt so touched when Lauren invited me to embark on this journey with her, and I’m thrilled to continue working alongside such thoughtful, intelligent women like Anne and Charlotte. Over the past few years, creating and cultivating the Connecting Our Stories community has brought me so much joy and deepened my belief in the transformative power of connective gatherings. We’re so excited for you to be part of our world.

First outdoor v5 yeeeeeee

We’re making mystery cookies ❓🍪 (psst. white chocolate macadamia nut with our Pineapple Cake Cashew Butter) 🍍 Yes, it’s as delicious as it sounds. Follow along ➡️

First multi-year project ✅: Monkey hang v3

Monkey hang is a reachy, burly, quasi-roof problem - all the things that I normally don’t enjoy or consider to be strengths. When I tried this my first outdoor bouldering season, it felt impossible and so out of reach, figuratively and literally. I spent my first session just trying to do the first move.

Once I finally unlocked the first move, I spent my next session trying and failing to get the next foot, which also felt too far. I left grumbling about feeling restricted by my wingspan, dejected after watching everyone else send while I continued to fall.

Some might think of this as “just” a v3 to tick at the Happys, but for me, each session has given me insight into my physical and mental progress as a climber. It worked out that each session at this problem was about a year apart, so unlocking each move was validation that my training was translating into my bouldering skills. More importantly, I’ve seen a notable change in my mental approach to a more height dependent boulder, where rather than fixating on the limitations of my span, I’ve been more curious about how I can find beta that suits my body’s unique strengths.

Each fall taught me something new about myself, and I’m leaving this boulder a better climber and person because of it

As usual, thanks to my best climbing and life bud @adamarlitt for the cheers, power spots, beta, and snugs💙

It’s been a week. But I’m trying to simultaneously hold space for grieving while also reminding myself that, as a woman of color, joy in itself can be resistance.

Here are some snippets of our Chatt climbing trip that brought me the most joy!

⭐️ Quality time with some of my fav people
⭐️ Making new friends
⭐️ Climbing hard, even after spraining my ankle day 2
⭐️ Being present and savoring connections and loved ones

Sending huggies to all and a reminder that seeking love, empathy, joy, and community will get us through together 💙

🍂🍁fall at tram🍁🍂

Butt Dragon Traverse (“butt” heehee)

The first (and probably not last) time I’ve cried at the top of a boulder 🥲

Climbing has been really mentally difficult lately. My first session on this boulder, I was able to do every move but just couldn’t link it together again and again, ending with a really scary and hard fall on my last go.

I’ve never felt fully comfortable in my body, whether because I grew up Asian in predominantly white spaces, or because I grew up surrounded by diet culture and fatphobia. It’s hard not to bring that mindset into climbing and feel like my body is something I need to overcome for this sport - I’m too heavy, too short, too weak…And I could feel myself leaning into this narrative that session when I mentally knew how to do every move, but my body just couldn’t execute it because of exhaustion.

I’m trying to appreciate my body for all it does and is capable of, rather than wish it were different or like others. The day I sent this was the first time I had tried giving my own body positive affirmations, and I did it! I’m super proud of this send because it represents a huge mindset shift for me (and also because it was one of the most enjoyable problems I’ve ever sent)

Thanks to @adamarlitt for coming back to this boulder with me and supporting me through the tears and frustration, and to @yudihi and @carlo.slzr for your patient cheers my first session ❤️ And no thank you to the random dude who beta sprayed me
