speaker1

Welcome, everyone, to today's episode of our podcast! I'm your host, and I'm thrilled to be joined by the incredible 曾寶儀 (Bao Yi), author of '生命中最大的寶藏就是你自己' ('The Greatest Treasure in Life is You'). Bao Yi, thank you so much for being here today!

speaker2

Oh, I'm so excited to have you, Bao Yi! Your journey is so inspiring. Can you start by telling us about the moment when you felt so afraid that you couldn't even open your eyes?

speaker1

That's a powerful question, and I think it's a great place to start. Bao Yi, could you share a bit more about that moment? What led up to it, and how did you feel in that instant?

speaker2

Hmm, I can only imagine how overwhelming that must have been. Bao Yi, how did you start to navigate through that fear? Was there a particular moment or event that marked the beginning of your journey of self-discovery?

speaker1

I think that's a really important point. The journey of self-discovery often starts with a moment of realization. Bao Yi, can you talk a bit about the role of self-acceptance in your healing process? How did accepting yourself help you move forward?

speaker2

That's so profound. I've read that books played a significant role in your personal growth. Could you share which books were particularly influential for you and how they impacted your journey?

speaker1

Books can be such powerful tools for growth. Bao Yi, you mentioned how external validation from others, like being on a popular TV show, affected your sense of self. How did you learn to value your own worth independent of external validation?

speaker2

Umm, that's a really interesting point. Bao Yi, what role did self-reflection play in your healing journey? Were there specific practices or techniques you used to reflect on your experiences and emotions?

speaker1

Self-reflection is indeed a crucial part of the healing process. Bao Yi, you've mentioned that writing was a significant part of your journey. How did writing help you in your process of self-discovery and healing?

speaker2

That's fascinating. Bao Yi, how did the support of your community, whether it be friends, family, or mentors, impact your journey? What role did they play in your healing and growth?

speaker1

Community support can be incredibly powerful. Bao Yi, what were some of the biggest challenges you faced during your self-healing journey? How did you overcome them?

speaker2

Hmm, those challenges sound really tough. Bao Yi, as you look to the future, what do you see as the next steps in your personal development? What advice do you have for others who are just starting their own journey of self-discovery and healing?

speaker1

That's such valuable advice. Bao Yi, thank you so much for sharing your journey with us today. It's been an honor to have you on the show. For our listeners, I highly recommend checking out Bao Yi's book, '生命中最大的寶藏就是你自己' ('The Greatest Treasure in Life is You'). Thank you, Bao Yi, and thank you, everyone, for tuning in!

speaker2
