Empowering you in beauty & wellness by sharing my personal journey of conquering ED

To Second Chances

Sometimes you need a second chance, because you weren’t quite ready for the first. “It’s important that we share our experiences with other people. Your story will heal you and your story will heal somebody else. When you tell your story, you free yourself and give other people permission to acknowledge their own story.” – Iylana Vanzant

Over the weekend, I put my journey into writing. It’s about hitting rock-bottom, overcoming a decade-long ED, winning Miss Asian California in 2017, pivoting in my professional journey many times over, and healing through persistence, love, and courage. I promise, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.

Is there anything she can’t handle? She’s been broken. She’s been knocked down. She’s been defeated. She’s felt pain that most couldn’t handle. She looks fear in the face; year after year, day after day, but yet, she never runs. She never hides. And she ALWAYS finds a way to get back up. She’s unbreakable. She’s a warrior. She’s you.

Kalon Queens Feature: Christine Kong from Daily Kongfidence

As a blogger, I get to “influence” daily, but it’s always refreshing when you get “influenced” by others who inspire you. I started taking content creation more seriously exactly a year ago, and I remember coming across Christine’s beautiful profile and immediately gravitating towards her energy and style. Serendipity brought us together, and I’m so proud to feature the influencer who turned me into an influencer – Daily Konfidence. Christine spreads confidence through fashion, beauty, food, and more. She’s mastered the art of balance as a mama of 3 and is a shining example of a confident, fashionable, and trendy mom after having kids. Read more about Christine’s journey as an entrepreneur of her online brand.

Testimonials

“Katie is definitely an entrepreneur by definition. She is determined to carve out a path for her life through blending her passion with what is needed in this world. When I had the privilege of working with her and learning more about her life, I was very impressed with what she accomplished. I definitely look up to her as a source of inspiration, especially if the inspiration is creating the best life through the resources at hand.”

She has been a wonderful friend, mentor, and role model to me within the realms of pageantry and life in general. She genuinely cares for others and her mission to uplift and empower the people around her is present in everything she does. I am very thankful for Katie as she has given me a countless amount of opportunity that has helped me grow as a person and excel within my career path. She is an incredible person with an incredible story that inspires me to both better myself and the people around me.”

Stephanie Kim
Miss Asian Global 2019

“Katie is like the big sister I never thought I needed until she came into my life. She has a heart of gold and is one of my number one supporters for anything I want to do in life! Her knack for building relationships, posturing herself to be at the right place at the right times, and tenacity for self improvement makes her one of my most fierce badass female friends. She also has such a story of overcoming her inner demons that deeply inspired me when times got tough. Katie’s the testament of feminine strength and what it means to never stop working hard in chasing your dreams – she has taught me that!”

Sharon Chung
Outreach Manager

“Katie has made a huge impact in the way I look at pageants. She revealed to me not only strategies and helpful tips, but also the brute reality of competition and how to flourish while facing arduous challenges. From giving me helpful advice to assisting me with my wardrobe, Katie has been a helpful mentor in breaking me into this pageant. She is a person that wants nothing but to help others and empower women while giving unfiltered advice. She influenced me to pridefully take on my new role in the MAG 2019 court and to continue to share knowledge with others as she has with me.”

Emily Sun
Miss Entrepreneur 2019

“In the few years I have known Katie, she has developed and launched two business enterprises, successfully managed a marketing company, served as a mentor for numerous young women, been an inspirational public speaker, and channeled her boundless energy into continued personal growth.”

 

Spencer Christian
Global Broadcaster

“I love Katie’s story about how she overcame weight and self-confidence struggles in life. Her success story does not end with her pageant victory but she is determined to inspire and empower other women who encounter self-confidence issues. Katie has been a “vitamin” to my life and her determination to give positive energy to many women is quite contagious! Thank you and cheers to you, Katie!”

Tomoko Koyama
Vice President, Licensed Private Banker

“Katie is an excellent leader who prioritizes the needs and goals of others beyond many other founders I have met. She is able to translate her vision into an actionable plan for her employees and set them in the right direction to get it done. In my time working with her, she has been an inspiration. Her story and journey centers the people she interacts with, serving as an excellent role model for women looking to advance in their careers.”
