Coaching & Therapy Resources

In 2023, I decided to put my belongings in storage and go on a massive travel journey after feeling lonely and feeling resentful about how expensive it is to live in the Bay Area. This book is the result of it. It’s not a self-help book, although if you’re not psychologically minded, you may consider it “self-helpy.” (Nothing against you; it’s just that each chapter ends with a value I upheld during that experience which accompanies a life hack that you can take or leave.)

What happened on that journey was inexplicable, ranging from laugh-out-loud moments to profound social, professional and spiritual connections that marked real pins in my healing, and global adventure. The book has many themes: adventure travel, grief, humor, belonging, identity, healing, and most importantly, synchronicity.

The Unorthodox Vagabond is my story of the surprising way I found myself when I felt lost, surrendered to it and discovering emotionally intimate treasures along the way.

Globetrotting Inspiration is Gen’s companion documentary to The Unorthodox Vagabond.

Gen’s master’s thesis comes to life in this podcast, offering a holistic, mind-body approach that integrates Somatic Experiencing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness. This brief dialogue demonstrates how perfectionism can become “maladaptive” and how to work with it when it does. Gen’s tool—the Fulton Cognitive Somatic Re-Appraisal Log—bridges perfectionist thoughts with bodily sensations to help calm the nervous system and reduce stress. Enjoy the journey toward a more embodied, compassionate understanding of perfectionism.
