Welcome to the Why I Said Yes series, where the contributing authors of Reclaim Your Life: The Breaking That Made You New share the personal stories behind the chapters they chose to write.
What happens when life becomes so busy that you can no longer hear yourself think?
In this episode of the Why I Said Yes series, author Hoi Shutoy shares the deeply personal story behind her chapter in Reclaim Your Life: The Breaking That Made You New.
After experiencing overwhelming Stress and a Health scare, Hoi realized she needed something she had rarely given herself—space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with who she truly was.
Through a solo journey, quiet reflection, and the courage to slow down, she discovered that healing doesn’t always come from doing more. Sometimes it begins by simply being present.
In this conversation we discuss:
✨ Why Hoi chose to write her story
✨ The healing power of writing
✨ Recovering from stress and Burnout
✨ Finding yourself through Travel and reflection
✨ Why creativity helps us reconnect with who we are
📖 Hoi’s chapter, Breaking News, Breaking and the Break, is featured in Reclaim Your Life: The Breaking That Made You New, launching July 7, 2026.
