My Career Path: From Offices to Herbal Healing
Since starting my first job in 1998, I’ve tried many careers. None made me rich, but every failure taught me something valuable. Now I know: progress takes time, and rushing only creates stress.
Building a Community Around Moxibustion
I created an online group for people interested in moxibustion. None are my colleagues, but their support keeps me motivated. It reminds me of my time in insurance sales—where teamwork and shared stories kept me going.
My Insurance Career: Lessons in Resilience
After having my child, I joined an insurance agency. My agent, Tu Shaoyan, encouraged me to try this flexible job. While it didn’t pay much, the team spirit and daily morning meetings kept me energized. We’d share wins and tears over songs like “Sunshine After the Rain”
Why I Left Insurance for Moxibustion
Chronic illness forced me to rethink everything. Doctors couldn’t cure my condition, but moxibustion and TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) helped me heal. I credit Baidu for teaching me acupuncture points and herbal remedies—my go-to “health coach.”
Key Takeaways from Insurance Days
- Teamwork Matters: Morning meetings boosted morale and accountability.
- Embrace Failure: Every setback shaped my resilience.
- Purpose Over Profit: Helping others healed me more than money ever could.
Why Moxibustion?
- Affordable: Perfect for chronic conditions.
- Holistic: Fixes root causes, not just symptoms.
- Empowering: Anyone can learn it—no fancy degrees needed!
