potent and powerful for my clients in helping them get clarity and aligned with their submission. For us

most. I can receive those answers to support them in the guidance. So it’s pretty potent.

Rosalyn Fung (02:28):
Thank you so much. I just love, love being the change I want to see in the world and inspiring other
people, catalyzing others to really get more bold and unapologetic in this world, particularly us as
women. I think that… in fact as I we’re recording this, I am writing a talk called Women Leaders Closing
the Confidence Gap because the biggest thing I see still is that women really struggle with fully believing
themselves, owning the room, owning their power, and just going for it. And so in it’s showing in the
research too only 11% of women, and this is across the board, so women entrepreneurs, women in the
corporate world women and organizations are making six figures and beyond. 11%, it’s a huge gap. And
then that’s even lower for women entrepreneurs. It’s only 6%. So I feel like this is such an important
deep mission to help women believe in themselves because we are powerful when we fully own our
power and show up and let ourselves shine and we inspire each other, we connect with each other, we
raise each other up. This is why I love you ladies so much. I feel like our relationship, oh, that’s why we
love you so much like this. Our relationship started like this truly did. We’ve got to tell everyone how we
met.
Laura (04:13):
Oh my goodness. Yeah, we met a few years ago now.
Rosalyn Fung (04:18):
It was 2020.
Laura (04:20):
Back at a wine woman and wellbeing event where we were giving away some woman up merch for a
door prize. And this woman was speaking at the event and she had a very powerful story and she was
really trying to really get to the nitty gritty with all these women in the audience. And there was some
chatty Cathys, they’re just like, I think they’re ordering their dinner and they’re talking about their
Saturday night while this woman’s talking. And Lana and I are just biting our tongue just being like, oh
my gosh, you guys, this is not okay. And all of a sudden you just hear Roz, shh. The guys are being so
rude. No, she is talking <laugh>. Lana and I are like, who is that woman? Cause we love her. Yeah, you
called it out. And you know what? Give people respect. And I absolutely love that.
Rosalyn Fung (05:13):
Thank you. And we didn’t even actually meet that night in person funny enough because we weren’t
sitting close to each other. I was just loving up on your vibe. And then the woman up shop. So I’m like,
wow, what is this? And then we actually got connected on Instagram. I think we just started chatting.
That’s how this started to happen.
Lana (05:32):
Was very organic.
Rosalyn Fung (05:33):
It was so beautifully organic. And then you both told me the story of how you just totally loved what I
did in terms of well… being myself, being on brand boldly and unapologetic. It was so rude. I don’t think I
actually said rude, but I just said, do you mind? This speaker is sharing something so vulnerable in this
moment and you have the nerve to keep talking with your friends. Come on. And they were right beside

the speaker was the table right beside the speaker. I was like, this is really, it was so distracting. I don’t
think it’s okay period. But particularly you’re right up there. You’re not making yourself look good.
Lana (06:13):
It was just the look on your face Roz, It was just like this side eye. Are you kidding me right now? It was
perfect. But you weren’t all, were you always bold and unapologetic? Because if we take you back to
2008, you were really going through a shift. Well, a fundamental shift in your life because from the
outside looking in, you had it all. You were a fitness model, you were a clinical psychologist with a really
busy practice. You had it all or so everyone thought.
Rosalyn Fung (06:47):
Yes, yes, yes. Thank you for <laugh> bringing us back to 2000.
Lana (06:52):
You’re Welcome.
Rosalyn Fung (06:52):
Is there a song for that?
Lana (06:53):
Big Tunes 2008? Yes.
Rosalyn Fung (06:59):
Yes. So back then just to paint the picture a little bit more, I actually got into body building for all the
wrong reasons. Food and body Mitch issues and thinking that I needed to have that perfect body to be
worthy. And this wasn’t conscious, this wasn’t a conscious thought. This is driven in my behaviors. And
yes, on the outside it looked like it was completely perfect because I had just started to private practice
as a psychologist. I was a newlywed and happily married. Still am to the same man. It’s been 20 years
together now…my sexy silver fox. That’s right. And I was also a second degree black belt in karate and a
role model of the kids, teens and adults. And so going back to your question, Lana, about had I always
been bold and unapologetic? I would say on the outside it probably looks like that because I was really
confident in everything I did. Now one thing that I really want to emphasize is confidence is not the
same thing as self worth.
Lana (08:18):
That’s powerful.
Rosalyn Fung (08:19):
Back in 2008, and I’ll define this a little bit more, I was really confident. So confidence is your belief in
yourself to do something and to do it really well. Where behind closed doors, I was actually really
struggling and suffering in disordered eating. So I would restrict my food, of course I would. I’m on a diet
to get this perfect fitness model body, binge eat and then feel guilty, beat myself up. And my form of
purging was by over exercising. So I would do extra cardio, extra hour at the gym every single day if I
binged. And so this was a cycle that I was living for years secretly and trying to justify it was like quote

normal. Cause I was having a quote cheat day. But deep down inside I knew that this couldn’t go on. I
knew that there probably was some other way, but I couldn’t see my way through it.
(09:21):
And my ego was quite big back then. I was too stubborn to go, even though I was a therapist, I thought I
had it all together and I made it. I don’t need therapy. And so I didn’t seek help back then because I
didn’t think I needed it, thought I could therapy myself through this. But on that day, in June, it was
June, 2008, I came in last place at that body building competition. And of course that was really
devastating. And that was where I was led to learn about Hakomi. Hakomi means how do I stand in
relationship with myself and how do I stand in relationship with others because we’re always in these
relationships and it’s a mindfulness, experiential, somatic approach that combines psychology,
neuroscience, and this thing called spirituality. What is that?
(10:24):
And so never heard of it. I never heard of it. I was like, I don’t know what this is. But anyway of course
when you’re learning something you cannot not work on yourself. So I learned, I was unconsciously
operating from this belief that I was valued in my doing this. So my performance, my status, my titles,
how much money I was making, my sports, just all the achievements rather than my value being in my
beingness, who I am. And my doingness never felt enough. So no wonder I was this perfectionist, this
overachiever in this hardcore type A personality. It was like, no pain, no gain, keep pushing if you’re not
first or last <laugh>. And so going back to confidence versus self-worth. So now you can see that self-
worth is about the value you hold of yourself. Back then, I did not hold myself in high value. I believed
myself to do things really well though. And so today I have really high self-worth. I freaking
unapologetically love myself. I’ll claim it on social media, claiming it on a podcast. I say it on my TV show.
But when it comes to confidence, it depends on the activity. So am I confident to speak in front of
hundreds of thousands of people on the topic I specialize in such as getting more visible, being bold and
unapologetic, leveling up marketing, yes, all of these topics. But am I confident to cut my kids’ hair? No.
Don’t even give me scissors around my kids to cut their hair. However, am I confident to learn from an
expert? Yes. So can you all hear the difference?
Laura (12:38):
I love that too because I think that so many of our listeners can resonate with that. Even as you’re saying
it, I’m thinking about the difference even in my own head of how confidence is more of the action of
what you’re doing and how confident you feel in doing that, but not necessarily the feeling in yourself.
<affirmative>
Laura (12:56):
You’re sparking, you’re sparking some interesting things.
Rosalyn Fung (13:00):
That’s what I love to do. And Me.
Laura (13:02):
And I love it because sometimes you need someone to put things so simply, you don’t think about how
simple that is, but it’s very true.

Yes. Yes. And I feel like those confidence and self-worth or self-esteem they all get used as if it’s the
same, but it’s not.
Laura (13:20):
Absolutely. Yeah. They get lumped into the same category. And you’re right, they’re very, very different.
Lana (13:25):
So le’ts talk about imposter syndrome.
Laura (13:26):
All right…
Rosalyn Fung (13:28):
Let’s do it…
Lana (13:32):
Excellent. Ooh, look at that. So we all have a level of imposter syndrome, but you’re actually kind of
turning it on its head a little bit and saying, well, we all have it, but there’s ways through it and around it.
Rosalyn Fung (13:45):
Yeah. Well, I actually, okay, let’s back it up. I think that we all have an inner critic, but not necessarily
imposter syndrome. So imposter syndrome means feeling like a fraud. And it’s actually a psychological
term. It’s coined by two psychologists and of course their mind, their names are slipping my mind right
now. But it’s an actual psychological issue where you feel like a fraud despite the evidence that you
actually know this topic and you’re an expert in it. And so this actually happens to celebrity
entrepreneurs that can often feel like they’re a fraud and it just doesn’t compute to them that even they
have the titles, the education, the experiences, the client testimonials. They still feel like they’re going to
be found out and that people are going to find out they don’t really know what they’re talking about.
And so inner critic though, that’s a bigger umbrella where we and all of us have an inner critic can
experience self-doubt, mine is really that harsh criticism that really being hard on myself. And I feel like a
lot of women are hard on themselves, not good enough. I can do better. Oh, I only did this. Well, I still
didn’t reach the top. It can also look like perfectionism. So comparing ourselves and then not feeling like
we measure up. So these are ways in how the inner critic can come up. And so those are often what I
see happening that stops women from allowing themselves to step up to that next level version of
themselves and going for their dreams.
Lana (15:55):
It’s no accident you found our podcast. Chances are you’re looking for something.
Laura (16:00):
Years ago when we founded the sister brand, we were desperate for honest direction.

We binged podcasts and go down endless rabbit holes just trying to find anything, anyone to offer some
aha advice.
Laura (16:13):
Oh boy, we have spent so much time and money on coaching calls that just really told us what we
already knew.
Lana (16:19):
And that’s why now our company, the sister brand, helps women find their fire.
Laura (16:23):
We’ve combined our decades of experience in education, communications, marketing, and business to
connect women with their purpose and designed the life they want to live.
Lana (16:33):
Our empowerment call is your one-on-one, Kickstarter, no bs, just the finger on the pulse kind of
direction and advice we wish we’d had all those years ago.
Laura (16:42):
No matter where you are in the world, we’ve got your back. Book, your empowerment call with us and
Woman up with the sister brand@thesisterbrand.com.
Lana (16:51):
How do you help these women move through that?
Rosalyn Fung (16:55):
It actually doesn’t take me that long when I’m working with my clients now my clients are in this place of
ready to have breakthroughs. That’s the thing we must, first of all have the self-awareness that we are in
a place where we are sick and tired of looping in this cycle. And it’s exhausting. It’s an energy drain to be
constantly fighting your inner critic and constantly berating yourself. And so we must be in a place
where it’s like, I am ready to release this victimness. I’m ready to stop letting this be my story, and I’m
ready to look at something new and feel into new possibilities because I’m ready to believe in myself. So
that’s the beautiful alchemy that happens when I work with my clients is that’s where they’re at. And so
what I love to do, and I’m going to give some practical strategies for the listeners as well, is help them be
aware of where these beliefs came from, whose voice is that?
(18:06):
Because when we’re born, we actually are perfect and everything’s neutral and we’re just love. And then
people in our world, and we’re not saying this in a blame way, but because it’s not usually the intention,
but it’s often our parents, the influencers in our lives, peers who projects their own shit onto us, and
then we take it on as our own. As children we mostly live in our subconscious brain until the age of
eight. And so at the very core of us, we want to feel love, safe and belong. And so when these very
important people in our life, i e our family members, our teachers, our peers, are saying certain things to
us, we take that on as truth and we create unconsciously strategies to help us fit in to that group. And so

some of these strategies will serve and support us for a while, but after a while they don’t serve and
support us.
(19:20):
It’s like a life jacket that we created when we were young and now trying to wear this life jacket of
criticizing ourselves or beating ourselves up or not feeling like we’re good enough is not going to fit
anymore. It’s not the thing that’s going to keep us, well, I’m not going to say, I’m going to say more than
surviving, but thriving. And so for me, when I work with my clients, I can be lined right into, I still use
Hakomi to this day, even as a business coach. I’m not a typical business coach. So we go right into the
beliefs, the subconscious beliefs, and we do that by dropping into the body because the body holds all
the subconscious beliefs and we explore, I can help my clients get quickly to the inner child place and
then shift something right there so that even within 10 minutes they can feel a new state of being a
more empowered state. So as people are listening, they’re like, okay, well how do I do this on my own?
I’m going to put a caveat here. We get wounded in relationship. What would you say, and an easier way
to think about this is, okay, if your best friend was going through what you’re going through, what would
you say to her? What would you say to her, then say that to yourself or even your child. If your child is
going through and having these feelings, what would you say to them?
(20:53):
And so say that to yourself. Oftentimes it’s easier when we are looking from outside in and then it’s
having a new way to step into. So how is it that you got to be clear about your vision? How is it that you
want to be in relationship with yourself? You can look at role models, who in your life speaks to
themselves really positively? Who loves himself unapologetically? And I know there’s probably what
that’s possible? Yeah, I’m living proof. Now do I experience my own shit coming up? Of course, we even
had a dialogue, Laura and Lana, about my big stretch this coming year. I’m like, I would love to speak on
more corporate stages. So whenever we level up our own inner critic is going to come up. It doesn’t go
away. It just is the more you love yourself, the easier it is to manage. And it’s not as strong, this inner
critic, you can just be like, oh, I see you.
(22:04):
I’m going to, I’m going to beautifully shut you down though. I’m going to show you. Exactly. And so in
our conversation my conversation with Laura and Lana, I was like, yeah, I would really love to speak on
corporate stages, but I don’t know if I have, I’m too much. That’s actually what I said, which is what
women often think of them. Like fear… we fear being too much. And so I was like, I don’t know if I’m too
much for the corporate world though. I feel like they won’t know how to handle my energy. They’ll just
stare at me blankly. And I’ve had experiences as a psychologist where I went into speak in front of
engineers and they just stared at me blankly. I’m like, all right, these are not my people.
Laura (22:54):
Although I guarantee you, you probably struck a chord with a few of them.
Rosalyn Fung (23:00)
Yeah, some secretly came up to me after it was like, that was really, really great. So anyway, but looking
back on, because I was back in 2000, I don’t know, 10, 11 I could see, of course when we look back, look
back, not just in hindsight, which is like 2020, but look back with mind sight. So mindsight is like
hindsight, but you’re also taking the lessons from it and looking at how do I apply these lessons now
moving forward? So for me, I now recognize, okay, I got to connect more with them using language that

makes sense to them and speak to them in a way where it might be speaking more to the left brain first
and then bringing in some new perspective or terminology that helps them open up a new perspective.
So Lauren, Lana, I have to say you, our conversation really inspired me to believe more in myself and the
possibilities of speaking in the corporate world. So I want to say thank you so much to that. It really
doesn’t feel like of a stretch much anymore.
Laura (24:12):
It’s not a stretch. You are so capable. And I think that there is everyone in every realm that can relate.
And it’s so refreshing also to hear from somebody of a different being. Just somebody’s just getting on
stage and they’re not the same thing that you’re always used to hearing and seeing. You can learn so
much more.
Lana (24:31):
It’s exciting to have somebody who’s unexpected. And I think that’s really special about you, Roz. You’re
unexpected because really you’re always unexpected in the best way <affirmative> That’s what we love
about you. And also it’s so great because you’ve somehow magically and wonderfully been able to meld
this very clinical background with what is now. I mean, some people would call it woowoo, some people
would say, I do. There’s even a stigma attached to the spiritual side of what you bring in. And you’ve
been very open about how you had to let go of licensed practice to really step into who you truly are,
and you’ve managed to do that and thrive. And that can be scary.
Rosalyn Fung (25:20):
Oh my God, that was the scariest thing. And it was a really scary, scary, probably the scariest move I’ve
ever made because I loved being a psychologist. I became the go-to psychologist at that time in food and
body image. So I barely had to market myself. It got to a point where it was just referrals and it was
easy. But I also knew that deep down inside, I was no longer fully aligned with being in the box of a
licensed psychologist. And it’s very strict to be a psychologist, particularly in Canada. And it’s different
for each province. But I had become the first psychologist in my province to create an online program
back in 2015.
(26:14):
And that was a lot of red tape, but I figured it out legally and ethically. And then Spirit just showed me
more doors opened and more opportunities that were aligned. And that’s where I manifested my first
business coach and invested big time with her. And again, very scary because it requires you to go all in
and bet on yourself. And so I was like, well, I’m going to leap. I’m going to leap because I believe in my
soul mission so much. And my license was holding me back, not only from creating the soul impacts I
deeply saw I could be creating, but also from who I authentically am in my full self-expression. Because I
was so much in box. It was so many rules you couldn’t do. And so I was just like, no, I can’t handle this
<laugh> I’m going to make my own box.
Laura (27:14):
It was your woman up moment, right? Yes. It was the moment where you were like, no, this is not for
me. I’m not aligned with what I’m doing, and I’m going to grab onto my Lady Balls and Woman Up. And I
love that.

I love it. Lady Balls and Woman Up and you know how much I love the concepts of women up so much
so that I have Laura and Lana’s in my brand new shoot.
Laura (27:35):
She really does. I love it. I know she did. And it is a hot, hot photo. I love it so much.
Rosalyn Fung (27:42):
Oh, it was so good. I got all my models who are actual real life clients and colleagues and friends to wear
the Women Up shirts too. It was just such a fun shoot.
Laura (27:52):
It was so much. I love that. And you are such a fierce advocate for women and supporter of women in
business. And I know that we can attest to that firsthand. So y’all need a little Roz in your life.
Rosalyn Fung (28:05):
Yes. Come and play in my community. Bold, sexy, warrior <laugh>.
Lana (28:09):
Let’s talk about bold, sexy warrior because you’re really open about owning your sexuality. And that is
so refreshing. And I think for women, especially women, Now, Right here and now where we are in this
world. Why is it important for self-love and for your relationships to really own your sexuality?
Rosalyn Fung (28:32):
I love that. So first of all, I want to define what sexy is because it’s not the way you dress or not the way
you physically look. It really is an energy. Yes, it could include those other aspects I just said. But first of
all, it’s about the energy. It’s magnetic. And I’m actually also a shamanic practitioner. And in shamanism
we look at sexual energy is life force energy. It’s our sacral chakra. It’s where our womb space is. And it’s
like, if you think about that fire lit up in our belly, and it’s just like, woo. When that fire is starting as a
little kindle and then it grows and grows and grows because you’re so aligned in your soul purpose, you
are unstoppable. And when you really show up as who you truly are, because for so long I wore masks of
perfectionism, of overachieving, of behind my title of psychologists.
(29:38):
That was really hard to separate myself from and just fully showing up as Rosalyn. And in my culture, I
am full Chinese in our culture. Sex is not something that you talk about. In fact, I never got the birds and
bees talks from my parents. It’s something that’s associated with shame, unfortunately. And we are all
sexual beings. And when I started to explore my own relationship with sexuality, I realized it was so
much more than just for procreation. And that’s all you do with it. I learned about the energy of when
we’re in our sexual power. And sexual power doesn’t mean engaging in the acts. I’m talking about our
life force energy that we start to be magnetic. It’s like people align people, it’s a frequency, it’s a vibe. So
people start to come in that are like, oh, what’s this energy about? I mean, again, Lana and Laura we’re,
we are attracted to each other.
(30:47):
And it’s not sexual, but it’s that magnetic, magnetic energy. And that’s what I’m talking about. I think
that so many of us, because especially as women who unfortunately most of us have sexual trauma in

some way, we’ve been victims of sexual abuse sexual victimization. We have a lot of shame attached to
the whole theme around sex. And so when we heal and we realize that we are actually born sexual
beings, and that’s such a healthy and beautiful thing. But once again, something or somebody, even
societal messages have projected onto us about how dirty mm-hmm. And how shameful sex is.. We shy
away from this. And yet it’s…it’s pussy power. It’s like our power. And so when we fully embrace our
who we are and we, including our sexual self, because it’s again, life force energy, and at the highest
form of sexual energy is creative power. That’s where our creation is coming in. And it’s coming in more
and more and it flows more and more. It’s so potent and it’s so powerful.
Laura (32:06):
So I think what Roz is saying is grab your lady balls and embrace your pussy power.
Rosalyn Fung (32:10):
There we go. <laugh> woman up. What we need to jab about is how the three of us, when we started,
we went on our first date together.
Lana (32:23):
Yes. Okay.
Rosalyn Fung (32:25):
Dinner. Oh my God, that was so magical. And then what magical and what came out of that?
Laura (32:30):
That was a wild night.
Rosalyn Fung (32:33):
That was so magical.
Lana (32:34):
Let’s take ourselves back, because that was before we were just getting rolling with our business. And
we met with Roz and we went for dinner and freaking weird things started happening. <laugh> it did.
And we couldn’t dismiss it. There was a lot that was happening. And Roz was just sitting at the table
laughing. And she’s like, yep, this is what happens when people hang out with me.
Rosalyn Fung (33:02):
Oh my gosh, this song that came on. We got to talk about that. That’s so magical.
Laura (33:08):
Lana. You tell that one.
Lana (33:10):
Okay. So when our mom passed away, actually it was when our aunt passed away, who our aunt was

aunt passed away my mom had a song that she would look for on the radio or listen for on the radio and
was, I can see clearly now… <music>
Laura (33:44):
And it’s not a song you often hear on the radio.
Lana (33:46):
No, not anymore.
Lana (33:48):
And so she was waiting and waiting for the sign to, she kept saying to her sister who had passed, she’s
like, give me a sign. I need to hear this song. That song will tell me that you’re okay. And so she would
say this again and again and again. And then they drove home from, it was from Virginia to here to
Canada. They drove home. And as they were pulling into the driveway, that song came on and it gave
my mom comfort. And so after we lost our mom, Laura and I would always, we’d send each other little
snips when we’d hear that song come on the radio. And it was just that comfort and that sign for us that
we knew she was there with us and that everything was okay, I guess. But yeah, we’re sitting at dinner…
Laura (34:32):
And we’re talking about the story of losing mom and dad and the pain and how that was fueling us to
start everything.
Rosalyn Fung (34:41):
And I’m crying. I’m bawling my face off a long way. Listening to your story of losing your parents.
Lana (34:47):
And what comes on the radio over the speaker in the restaurant this in the restaurant. And I stopped for
a second. I said, wait a minute. What is, what’s coming? What is that song? And I didn’t believe that it
could be true, to be honest.
Rosalyn Fung (35:04):
We were just, I’m even getting goosebumps right now in this room, recalling that.
Laura (35:07):
I know.
Laura (35:09):
Driving home, it was like every lamppost was just flicker, flicker…
Lana (35:12):
Just flicker, flicker…
Laura (35:14):
It was very interesting.

Lana (35:16):
And this was our introduction to Roz, by the way. We’re like, oh, right. Well, she’s got some kind of
energy.
Laura (35:21):
We either can never see her again or have to see her all the time.
Lana (35:26):
But also, interestingly enough, that was also the day where we really manifested a lot of things. Mm-
hmm. For our future. Sitting at that little pub table in South Edmonton and really checked a lot of boxes,
things that we talked about that night came to fruition. And I don’t think that’s by accident.
Rosalyn Fung (35:45):
No, no, it’s not. No, it’s not. And I didn’t realize how impactful that meeting was until recently when you
both produced a huge event manifest tour. Yeah. Congratulations.
Laura (36:03):
Thank you. And thanks for being there.
Rosalyn Fung (36:07):
Of Course. Yeah.
Laura (36:08):
We manifested that for sure. And it’s something that we’re very proud of being a part of.
Lana (36:15):
Well, we had said in that meeting that night, we said, there’s something about, we don’t know what it
looks like, but there’s something about us being on a stage. And you said to us, you’re like, that is going
to be in your future. You will be on a stage. And we kind of went, oh yeah, well maybe. We’ll see. Ha ha.
Right. We just kind of put it off. But eventually those, when you plant those seeds, they grow. And I
think that’s really something special. So thank you for being a catalyst in our lives.
Rosalyn Fung (36:43):
Oh, and look at you ladies. Oh my God. Ed, can we just, you’re both being really humble. Let’s like
actually share how big Manifest tour was, because you had hundreds of women. This was a tour.
<affirmative> So you toured and you had hundreds of women come to each of your events. I was at the
one in Kelowna where I live now, and it was magical. Oh, thank you. It was so magical. I made so many
amazing connections. In fact, I met my now business coach there.
Laura (37:19):
Oh I didn’t know that.

We were twinning. I know. So thank you. Look at this full circle moment. Yeah. She was the other person
wearing a jewel on her forehead. And we’re just like, Hey, twining!
Laura (37:30):
Soul sisters.
Rosalyn Fung (37:32):
Yes. It’s so amazing.
Laura (37:35):
We’re so happy to hear that. Yeah. All right, Roz, for any of our listeners who are feeling stuck at the
moment, what is your advice to them?
Rosalyn Fung (37:45):
Let me just share with you, if the dream is in you, it’s for you. So keep listening to that. Keep honoring
your dreams. The richest place on earth. Do you know where that is?
Laura (38:00):
Do tell.
Rosalyn Fung (38:02):
It’s the graveyard. Because so many people die with their dreams still inside them. And I actually want to
cry thinking about that. How many of us wanted to do something, put something out there, or even
travel the world and we’ve never, and have not. We think about perhaps our parents or our
grandmothers, grandfathers, and did they fulfill their dreams or uncles or aunts or ancestors? Did they
fulfill their dreams? And the ones that did, let those just know it’s in your blood. Let those people be
your inspiration. And if not, you be your own inspiration. I recently got on an akasha soul session with a
client, and we were actually doing a house clearing, so I can also read the Kasha of your business, of
your house. And she was trying to sell her house. And so she just realized in the records why the house
wasn’t selling was because she was still unconsciously attached to it. And what needed to be
acknowledged was that she was the first woman in her family in her lineage to purchase a house. And it
was this house. So we had to go through a beautiful gratitude and letting go process, but she needed to
have that acknowledgement. So she is her own inspiration. Isn’t that incredible?
Lana (39:33):
Did she sell the house?
Rosalyn Fung (39:35):
That session was only a couple days ago.
Lana (39:37):
Okay. Stay tuned.

Stay tuned, stay tuned. But I have had another session with the house with my best friend, actually, who
was selling her house, and it sold a couple days later.
Lana (39:47):
It’s amazing.
Rosalyn Fung (39:48):
Pretty cool. But everything has energy. And so where your attention goes, your energy flows. So if you’re
putting attention on your inner critic, on believing you can’t do it, guess what? It’s going to be true.
You’re going to put more attention on that. That’s an energy drain, by the way. But if you put attention
towards what you want to create, what you want to manifest, anything is possible. So keep focusing on
it. Keep believing in yourself, keep loving yourself and surround yourself with people who are where you
want to be going or where you want to be already. Because honestly, I think, and it’s actually proven by
research that even if you make all these gains, if your environment is full of naysayers or people who
aren’t going where you want to be or where you already are sorry, or where you want to be already, or
going where you want to be, then unfortunately, environment always wins. And so surround yourself.
This is why I love you. I’m going to love up on you ladies all the time.
Lana (40:58):
We love up on you.
Rosalyn Fung (40:59):
Yeah. You are all about women empowerment, women coming together, lifting each other up in
community. And these beautiful connections I get created. It’s so powerful. It is powerful.
Lana (41:14):
And sisterhood is so powerful. And we never really understood that until, I think three years ago when
we started our business, we weren’t networking people. We weren’t or at least not by most standards
terms, most standards. We didn’t understand the power of sisterhood. And it sounds so cliche, and
everybody’s like, oh gosh. But it’s honestly true. You surround yourself with people who will lift you up
and good things happen.
Rosalyn Fung (41:42):
Yeah. And it quantum leaps things, right? Yeah. Things happen quicker. Absolutely. So it’s so beautiful
when women lift each other up rather than cut each other down. I think that happens in certain I’ll say
industries. And it’s time that we stop doing that to each other, stop one, upping each other and start
seeing strengths. In fact, when we do that, it’s our own insecurities when women cut other women
down, because they themselves are insecure, it’s a reflection. And so it’s a reflection. It’s a mirror, it’s a
law of mirrors. And so it’s time to look at what that’s about. And so I’m sure the audience are not people
who cut other people down. So for you, you’re probably the one that’s ganged and naysayers, or people
who are jealous or trying to squish you and say, why are you doing that? So once again, I want to say
that as you are showing up, as you’re gaining more confidence, you’re being more bold, you’re being
unapologetic, you are going to start to ruffle other people’s feathers. But confidence looks like
arrogance to the insecure.

Lara (42:54):
Oh, okay. Roz, you always have, she has a way of putting things. Her words, they just, yep. <laugh>.
Alright. Do you have time for a quick rapid fire?
Rosalyn Fung (43:04):
Yes. All right. How fun. I’m ready. I’m ready.
Lana (43:07):
<laugh>, if you can sit down and talk with one person, dead or alive, who would it be?
Rosalyn Fung (43:13):
Oprah.
Lana (43:14):
That was quick.
Laura (43:15)
What’s the worst thing anyone has ever said to you?
Rosalyn Fung (43:19):
The one that immediately comes up is in grade four. It’s kind of silly now, but I can see how it became
the root of my own perfectionism and needing validation from outside of myself. Was the, this boy
when I was in grade four, told me that the most popular girl in our grade said I was the ugliest girl in our
grade. So that had some really deep impact on me. Because that was first time I realized like, oh, looks
matter. Really. It made me more self-conscious about myself, and it was told by me by the opposite sex,
and then the authority of the most popular girl saying that. Right. And so it just really had a lot of, I can
see as a gift now, of course, but it really took a number on me. And that was the beginning of my, I
would say self-consciousness.
Lana (44:27):
That I think every single listener right now is going back to the grade four self and feeling that because
that is so fundamental in our souls, those little conversations when it just reminds you how formative
little conversations can, can be.
Rosalyn Fung (44:43):
And it was like a one-liner. Oh, like look how deep that ran. Right.
Laura (44:47):
And a lesson, for talking to your kids too, about how those small statements can hold impact for years.
Lana (44:54):
Yes. Yeah.

Laura (44:55):
Yes. And become probably the worst thing that someone you’ve ever said to somebody.
Rosalyn Fung (44:58):
The research shows that women’s confidence levels or girls’ confidence levels really plummet by 30%
between the ages of eight and 14. Prior to eight, there’s really no difference between boys and girls
confidence levels. So isn’t that interesting?
Lana (45:16):
Oh, it’s gut wrenching, okay. Yeah. What is the one thing you can’t live without? Roz
Rosalyn Fung (45:24):
Peanut butter <laugh>
Rosalyn Fung (45:28):
Okay. For real…real valuable and meaningful relationships. Honestly, I think I want to even start crying. I,
because think about it. What is the point of living if there’s nobody around? If the apocalypse happened
and you are alive, but no one else is around. Sure. You know, can travel and look at the world and things
like that…
Laura (46:00):
There’s no one to share it with.
Rosalyn Fung (46:01):
Just for me. I really, really value connection in relationships. So that’s what it is for me.
Laura (46:09):
All right. You have a hundred dollars burning a hole in your pocket. What are you buying?
Rosalyn Fung (46:14):
Burning a hole in my pocket?
Laura (46:16):
Gotta spend it.
Rosalyn Fung (46:16):
I’m going to invest it. Oh, I was going to say…
Laura (46:22):
Stop being so practical, Roz..
