About judy tsuei

At the core of everything, WE ALL HAVE A STORY we are on this planet to tell.

Every person on this planet has a story to write and a message to share, whether it's designed for one other human or one million.

Your life is your message.

And, your message is the Spirit Medicine the world needs today.

If you're tired of the hustle & grind...

If you're done playing small by not sharing your Light with the world... 

If you're getting mired in the "how's" and the endless cycles of thinking...

It's time to show up differently. 

My biggest reason for creating Wild Hearted Words is to inspire you to #BeWildlyYou, so you can create your own brand of happy and heal the world. Because honestly, there are so many people who are miserable, unhappy, depressed, and ashamed.

I know — I was one of these people.

I suffered from a 15 year-battle with bulimia, severe bouts of depression, and a constant feeling like I had a big purpose for being on this planet that I wasn't yet living into.

Then, I shed the shackles of who I thought I had to be, stopped seeking external approval, broke away from the traditional family dynamic I grew upon in, and embarked on all sorts of magnificent adventures.

I went from six-figure corporate success to become a yoga teacher and Reiki Master.

My world moved from high heels to bare feet and I loved it. I became a travel writer, learned how to surf, and leapt into my biggest dream of moving to Kauai on Hawaii — that's when I launched into a whole new paradigm of being and believing in magic.

From the beginning of time and ever after, there'll NEVER ever be another you in the Universe — #BeWildlyYou.

By your showing up authentically, you create a better world for our children to grow up in, and I especially want this for my daughter, Wilder. Be brave. Be bold. Be free. And, by doing so, you fill the unique niche the world needs that could only be brought about through YOU.

Welcome home, soul sister.
