‼️#MotivationMonday - A Message for Every Girl Who Ever Felt “Different”‼️ I grew up hating everything about how I looked. My nose. My eyes. My skin tone. My body. My height and especially my LEGS!!😖 I didn’t want to stand out because I wanted SO badly to blend in. I wanted to look like everyone else.🤦🏻‍♀️ As a young Asian girl, I was mocked for the shape of my eyes, told repeatedly I’d never be “marketable,” and reminded constantly that I was “too short” and “not the right look” for magazines, media, or mainstream success. Those words stayed with me but they NEVER defined me. Fast forward to over four decades later and countless magazine covers & spreads, global campaigns, calendars, a national best-selling book, hosting events and a successful career as a television host and media personality on a 2X Emmy nominated TV show on a nationally recognized sports network, I can say this with great certainty: What once made me feel invisible, is now the very reason I’m visible. I didn’t change who I was to succeed. I became more of myself as I got older and, wiser. Here’s the truth: 🙅🏻‍♀️ The world doesn’t need more copies. 👉🏼 It needs courage. 👉🏼 It needs representation. 👉🏼 It needs voices that reflect real life. Your differences aren’t flaws, they’re your superpower.🦸🏻‍♀️ Your uniqueness isn’t a liability, it’s your brand. And if I’ve learned anything, it’s this: When you stop trying to fit in, you stand out, and become UNSTOPPABLE! 💫 Stand out. 💫 Own your story. 💫 Be unapologetically YOU. Because a world where everyone looks the same? That’s not beautiful, that’s extremely boring. And you're not born to fit in, you were born to STAND OUT!!💯 #NeverGiveUp 💪🏼#DreamChaser 🌌 #StandOutDontBlendIn ⚡️#GoalDigger 🔥

OH, WHAT A NIGHT!!🎉 I am thrilled to share with you all the incredible experiences and emotions from the NE Emmy Award Ceremony that took place this past weekend. The night was filled with anticipation, excitement, and a profound sense of pride as we attended the ceremony with high hopes after being nominated twice for the prestigious awards in the categories of best directing and best writing for "Cardillo's World." While we did not come home with the trophies, the immense pride I feel for our team and the remarkable achievements we have made so far knows no bounds. It was truly a night to cherish, not only because of the recognition our show received with two Emmy nominations, but also as a testament to the dedication, hard work, and creativity that each one of you has poured into making "Cardillo's World" the success it is today in just under two years. Being surrounded by esteemed industry professionals at such a grand event was a humbling experience, and I am grateful for the acknowledgment we received from The National Academy of Arts & Sciences for our collective efforts in bringing our vision to life through "Cardillo's World." I want to extend my deepest gratitude to my partner, co-creator, executive producer, and the driving force behind our show, Steve Cardillo @cardilloweightbelts , for his unwavering belief in our shared vision.

Happy Asian Pacific American Heritage Month to my fellow Asian American & Pacific Islander friends 💛 If I could tell this little girl one thing, it would be this: Stay focused. Block out the noise, the prejudice, the doubt.  Never ever let the world make you feel small for being Asian or for being a minority—because one day, both will work powerfully in your favor! Your identity is not a limitation. It’s your strength. Your edge. Your superpower. 💯 #AAPI #AsianPride #Vietnamese #Asian #AsianAmericanPacificIslander

At any moment in life you can decide to become who you want to be — no matter how young or how old you are.💯 ‼️And never let anyone tell you otherwise because success does not have age restrictions or time frame.‼️ When I was a little girl flipping through magazines, I dreamed of being the model on those pages. When I watched TV, I dreamed of being on television too. So I made a plan and started working toward those dreams. The journey wasn’t easy. It was filled with curves, challenges, and a million NO’s. But I stayed determined and turned those NO’s into the YES’s that changed my life. Fitness became the foundation that opened so many doors for me. From magazine features, calendars, representing top supplement companies, and hosting car shows to publishing a best-selling book in my 20s and 30s. In my 40s, I expanded into influencing in health, beauty, makeup, skincare, fashion, and wellness. Passions I’ve always loved. But my dream of being on TV never left my heart. That dream led to the creation of @cardillosworld on @nbcsboston , the show @cardilloweightbelts and I built from our passion for storytelling, fitness, and interviewing incredible people. 💥After our first season, Cardillo’s World was nominated for two Emmy Awards — Best Writing & Best Directing.💥 Now, in my late 40s, not only am I a co-host on a TV show that I co-created, but I'm also a producer, director and writer too and I’m still living the dreams that little girl once imagined. So cheers to the women creating their own opportunities, rewriting their stories, refuse to shrink their dreams, shatter glass ceilings, creating their own table to sit at, and lifting others along the way. 💪🏼 Happy International Women’s Day to all the amazing, powerful, strong, fearless and influential women around the world.🙌🏼 May we know them. May we be them. May we raise them. ❤️ #InternationalWomensDay #WomenSupportingWomen #WomenEmpowerment #DreamBig #NeverGiveUp

Happy Heavenly Birthday, Dad. 🕊 Today you would have been 89 years young… and not a single day goes by that I don’t feel your presence in my life. I miss your voice. I miss your laughter. I miss your strength. I miss your quiet sacrifices that I didn’t fully understand until I became an adult. You worked so hard. You carried so much. And you did it all for your family. Everything I am today, my resilience, my work ethic, my dedication to never give up, my determination to never quit, all started with you. You planted those seeds long before I even knew what they would grow into. I wish you could see the life I’ve built... the television hosting, the books, the businesses, the stages, the cameras, all of it is rooted in the lessons you taught me: stay humble, stay strong, and never ever forget where you came from. There are moments I still want to pick up the phone and call you. Moments when I want your advice. Moments when I just want to hear you say you’re proud of me. I hope you can see it all from heaven. I hope you know your daughter is doing her very best to make you and mom proud every single day. 89 years of a life that continues to impact mine. 89 years of love that never fades. Until we dance again.... I carry you in my heart always.  See you & Mom in my dreams.... I love you 🤍 #HeartBroken #DaddysGirl
