I am still holding onto the beautiful energy from our evening two days ago at the Estonian Business Hub in Singapore. A heartfelt thank you to His Excellency Priit Turk, Ambassador of Estonia to Singapore, Indonesia and ASEAN and Heidi Solba, President & CEO of Let’s Do It World, for the warm welcome and inspiring presence. I had the honour of leading this special evening, a gathering of business leaders, investors, philanthropists, and sustainability advocates. Together, we also immersed in breathwork and explored how the breath can unlock a new level of leadership, that is grounded in clarity, emotional resilience, and intentional impact. The evening was a shared mission to raise awareness and support for World Cleanup Day, a global movement tackling the waste crisis and mobilising millions across the world to clean up our planet. Just as we tend to the external environment, we also turned inward to recognise that cleaning up our inner world is just as essential. When we clear the space within, we lead with greater purpose, presence, and alignment. I am deeply grateful to the Estonian Embassy for their generosity and hospitality, from the stunning venue to the thoughtful details that supported an evening of deep connection and conversation. It was a true joy to create and hold this space. May it spark more intentional moments where breath, leadership, and collective impact meet. A big thank you to everyone who made this event possible. With breath and gratitude, Pei #inmispace #consciousleadership #innerchange #breathwork #letsdoitworld #worldcleanupday

Thank you @straits_times for featuring my story. It feels nostalgic to see my full name on the article! Performance anxiety doesn’t always look like panic, sometimes it hides behind competence. For years, I thought stress was proof that I was doing well. I built a 20-year career in hedge funds, performing under pressure and living with constant anxiety that I couldn’t name. I didn’t shake or freeze on the outside. I over-prepared, replayed every conversation and worried about being good enough. Breathwork changed that. It slowed my thoughts and calmed my nervous system. You cannot think your way out of anxiety which I tried to do for years, you can only feel & breathe your way out of it. I don’t think we share enough as a society the amount of stress and anxiety we go through daily and we tend to glorify it. I hope this article reminds you that performance doesn’t have to cost your wellbeing. 📰 Read the full article with link in bio. It will be in print on 22nd October 2025. 📷 @octobr_studio #inmispace #breathwork #performanceanxiety #stressculture #nervoussystemregulation #singapore #thestraitstimes

My Breath Journal is here, your ritual begins today. ✨ Launching this journal on the full moon feels incredibly significant. A full moon reveals what is ready to be released and what is ready to rise and this journal is exactly that for me. My Breath Journal was born in that light: in the quiet 5am mornings, in the in-between moments, in the parts of me I had dimmed just to keep going. If you have been navigating endings, beginnings, transitions, or inner shifts…My Breath Journal is for you: If you have ever dimmed your light just to cope… If you have ever disconnected from your own truth to get through the day… If you are rebuilding your sense of self If you want to feel like yourself again Your breath tells the truth long before your mind catches up. Your breath is the first step back to you, and now, you have a space to hold the entire journey. ✨ I am so proud to be sharing “My Breath Journey” with you on the last full moon of 2025. Grab your copy, link in bio! 🫶🙏🥰 With all my love ♥️ Pei #inmispace #mybreathjournal #consciousbreathwork #dailyrituals #breathewell #dailyhabitsforsuccess #fullmoonblessings #youandyourbreath #justyou #cominghometoyourself

Before I left my corporate job, the question that kept me up at night was “can I afford to stay and never know who else I could become?” The easier option was to stay; comfortable salary & lifestyle, set identity, a life that looked incredible on paper. These transitions have stretched me beyond anything I anticipated. But the version of me on the other side? She is someone I actually want to be. I would not change it for anything.💖🥹 The answer to that question is NO. 💌 What would you do if you gave yourself permission to start over? #inmispace #careerchange #leavingcorporate #newchapterbegins #breathworkcoach

The place that tightens every time you say “I’m fine” and don’t mean it.🥺 The anxiety before sending a text, a teams meeting, an important email, speaking on stage. The shallow breathing when you are overwhelmed. The way your shoulders creep up to your ears by 3pm. Can you relate?🙋‍♀️ This is the simplest practice I know to start releasing the tightness in your chest. You don’t need an hour, 20 seconds of this simple acupressure & breathe consciously. 1. 3 fingers on your sternum 2. Breathe consciously 💨 3. (repeat this affirmation) “It’s safe to receive love.” Comment CONNECT to receive a free breathwork practice. ❤️ 💌 Send it to someone who needs it! #inmispace #heartopening #breathworkpractice #anxietyrelieftips #breathewithme

We were all taught some version of this growing up, that we need to be strong, not show any emotions and hold it all together. I see this pattern in almost every breathwork client I work with. They reflect back what I went through. In a society that rewards hyperindependence, I went to the extreme. I forgot how to be vulnerable and how to ask for help. I held everything together because that’s what I learned to do. When my dad passed away when I was 13, the grief was too much to handle so I suppressed it. For years, I didn’t cry because nobody told me it was ok to fall apart. I was told to be strong and not to show my weakness. I forgot how to after some time. I numbed myself by overachieving and running constantly. When I started doing breathwork, it softened the edges. It gave me compassion towards myself. I started to feel for the first time in years, the grief I buried at 13 finally had space to move through me. I am still a work in progress. If you have been running on “I’ve got this” your whole life, when was the last time you felt your emotions?🫶 #inmispace #breathwork #vulnerability #hyperindependence #selfcompassion

She always says yes, even when she really wants to say no. Last slide is my favourite. To the strongest and kindest 妈妈, thank you for loving me in all the ways you knew how. I sometimes get frustrated when you show me love different to how I expect it to be. But I see the many ways you have always been there for me in your own loving ways. Happy Mother’s Day. I love you so very much. ♥️ #motherslove #happymothersday

It’s @_weshutit_ mouthtapes that kept my mouth shut all night. It’s the best thing I do for my mental health & skin; good quality sleep. As a certified breathwork coach, this is the one sleep hack I tell everyone about. 👃💨👄❌ Your lips stay hydrated (hyaluronic acid), your mouth doesn’t dry out from mouth breathing. You wake up actually rested instead of wondering why 8 hours still wasn’t enough. If you’re already doing an 8-step skincare routine, this is the step you are missing. 🙋‍♀️💋 Comment GLOW to find out which tape is right for you. I am wearing the “heart is full” lip mouthtape. Inspired & template by @studiokynd (I still love my korean collagen glass skin mask😍) #weshutit #mouthtaping #nasalbreathing #qualitysleep #mouthbreathing

Are you protecting your heart? ❤️‍🩹 We don’t breathe into our hearts because what’s in there hasn’t been touched in years. This is a gentle breathwork practice to start opening it again. ✨ Place your hands on your chest, breathe consciously into it and feel it. ✨ When you feel tightness or a block around your heart and chest area, use this simple technique. Save it for when you want to soften your heart. ♥️ Comment SOFTEN receive a free heart opening practice. ♥️ #breathworkhealing #inmi #heartopening #emotionalrelease #softening

Everyone talks about the sliding doors moment. The big decision. What they don’t tell you is what happens after the door closes behind you. The in-betweenness and the doubts that start creeping in: • Was this the right call? • Was I being brave or reckless? • Why does freedom feel this heavy? When I left my 20-year corporate career, I thought there would be euphoria. Instead the version of me that held it all together started to fall apart, I was floored completely. I trusted my breath and my daily breath practice to keep me going. I breathed through the discomfort, regrets and pain. I had to be honest with myself, my breath always tells me where I am at with life. If I couldn’t be honest with myself, I cannot do the same with the people around me. If you are standing in your own sliding door moment right now (whether it’s a redundancy, breakup, divorce, a loss, country move), the decision that will split your life into a before and after. Breathe through the discomfort and heavy emotions, your breath doesn’t lie. This in-betweenness too shall pass. Breathe well always x 💨 #inmispace #careertransition #breathworkhealing #theinbetween #identityshift

I left a 20 year finance career, with one salary and one identity. A version of myself I thought was the only one. Now I run @inmi.space and @_weshutit_ which are two pillars of the portfolio career I am builing. I am doing this from scratch, I am still figuring things out. Sometimes I still doubt myself and the decisions I made. That part doesn’t go away, I sit with the discomfort over & over again, reminding myself not to hold my breath. Last week @podium.women brought a group incredible women together who are doing the same thing or thinking of taking the leap. They are real conversations about what it actually took; the personal reasons, the calling, the moments where you almost didn’t, the doubts, the challenges and the joy. If you are waiting to be ready, you might be waiting forever. Just start, even if it’s small, even if you’re scared. I was too. I still am sometimes. That is not the thing that stops you, waiting is. As @its_alka_gupta wrote it beautifully in her LinkedIn post, I too walked away more inspired and feeling a little braver. #portfoliocareer #inmispace #careerpivot #careerchange #podiumwomen

The part that no one talks about, the in-betweenness of excitement & grief of the new life & old. The time difference, the thousand of miles and the waiting. “I’ll see you soon” might mean 6 months, 1 year or 10. But it will be worth the wait.♥️ #movingabroad #movinghome #oldandnew #singapore #leavinglondon
