Navigating Life’s Challenges provides readers with the tools necessary for cultivating emotional intelligence by way of the concept of Tai Sui. What inspired you to write this guide?

The inspiration for Navigating Life’s Challenges came from my own experiences of navigating uncertainty and growth during challenging times. The concept of Tai Sui, deeply rooted in Chinese astrology, resonated with me as a framework to explore how external and internal forces shape our lives. I wanted to blend this ancient wisdom with modern strategies to help readers cultivate resilience and emotional intelligence. By bridging mindfulness, self-reflection, and practical advice, I aimed to create a guide that not only addresses life’s inevitable obstacles but also empowers readers to thrive beyond them.

What is one thing you learned during your research for this book that surprised you?

While researching this book, I was surprised by how seamlessly ancient astrological wisdom can align with modern psychological principles. For example, the Tai Sui year’s themes of conflict and transformation mirror contemporary discussions on managing stress and adapting to change. This discovery reinforced the idea that ancient and modern wisdom can coexist and complement each other, providing holistic solutions for personal growth.

What is one thing you hope readers take away from the concepts presented in Navigating Life’s Challenges?

I hope readers take away the understanding that challenges, whether personal or external, are opportunities for growth rather than setbacks. By practising mindfulness, managing expectations, and cultivating resilience, they can transform adversity into a powerful catalyst for self-discovery and strength. Ultimately, I want readers to feel equipped with practical tools and inspired to approach life’s complexities with clarity, grace, and optimism.

Can we look forward to more work from you soon? What are you currently working on?

Yes, I’m always working on new projects! Currently, I’m developing the second installment in the Chronicles of the Enchanted Vanguard series. This new fantasy novel delves into ethical dilemmas, the philosophy of good and evil, and environmental issues, all presented through magical and fantastical narratives. The first book in the series, Chronicles of the Enchanted Vanguard: Seraphina and the Divine Mandate, laid the foundation, and I’m excited to expand this world further. The upcoming novel is an ambitious project that combines my passion for storytelling with a deep exploration of realism and fantasy, and I anticipate it will be ready for publication in 2025 or 2026.

In addition, I’m planning my next non-fiction work, which will build on the themes explored in Navigating Life’s Challenges. This book will focus on the philosophy of person-given names—the power they hold, the significance they carry, and how they can inspire individuals to embrace their identity and purpose. While I’m still conducting research for this project, I aim to publish it between 2026 and 2027.

Across both fiction and non-fiction, I remain committed to exploring themes of environmental stewardship, resilience, and personal growth. Readers can look forward to more thought-provoking and inspiring works that challenge perspectives and ignite imagination.
