☁️ IN A PAST LIFE...

I am the founder of Tribeless, an award-winning empathy training company. We are the creators of The Empathy Box, a game that promotes empathy skills in group conversation.

In 2023, I handed over the reins to Tribeless to our CEO, Shawn, so I could step into my soul calling as an Astrologer. Best decision I've ever made ♡

ASTROLOGY 🪐

A Little Intro 🪐

Hi, I’m Gwen Yi, and I’m a witch. Specifically, I’m an astrologer, which is pretty much the same thing.

ASTROLOGY 🪐

Burgers For Breakfast 🍔

This Aries season, I'm learning to unapologetically own my desires –– one breakfast burger at a time.

picking up my new 🤓 today — I’m so excited!!!!!!!!

here’s why I think @pottglasses is slaying it here in 🇲🇾 :

✴︎ 1:1 personalized service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (my consultation took a whopping 2 hours, no ragrets!!)

✴︎ two-layer eye test, including insight into which is your dominant eye (I found this super interesting HAHAHA)

✴︎ face shape & glasses frames consultation (indecisive girlies, this is for you! ❣️ I fell in love with the first frame my consultant picked out for me, it wasn’t a color I would normally go for but I found it so cuuuute)

✴︎ tons of freebies and warranty hahaha 😝

✴︎ upfront pricing 💲💲💲 (they’ll calculate total cost for you based on budget, lifestyle, if you want blue light blockers etc)

📌 remember to pre-book your consultation online for RM50 off !!!

✴︎ TL;DR: I know how daunting it is to try somewhere new, but with @pottglasses I feel like your eyes will be in good hands 🤝

my consultant Mindy even helped me check if I have gl@ucoma coz my fam has a history of it 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 10/10 recommend !!!

empathy box at home ❌
empathy box @jomoutside ✔️😌

had the funnest weekend by the lake at @parcmalaysia ⭐️🫶🏻 there’s just something about the vibes here that are hard to beat!

as I grow older, I’ve come to appreciate days like this more — putting myself in situations and places where I can serendipitously connect with people from different parts of my life:

✧ spending time with my cousins, doing our yearly @empathyboxco ritual
✧ a cute moment with the owner of @a.scoop.of — I told her I was belanja-ing my cousins 🍦 and she asked me to keep the voucher for future use
✧ getting to finally hug @definitelymayb_ in person!! can’t wait to dance together soon~
✧ supporting the @klswings tasters by being thick faced enough to upsell our classes 🙈 (FEB CLASS 0N SÅLE NOW)
✧ and of course, getting to bring a visiting friend @therapywithdiana out to dinner!

ᝯׁᨵׁׅꪀׁׅꪀׁׅꫀׁׅܻᝯׁtׁׅꪱׁׅᨵׁׅꪀׁׅ is one of my key themes for 2025. after so many years of hiding away, it feels good to put myself out there again.

🫶🏻✨ have a great week, love you!

¡ayyyyyy caramba! 🪇 11.01.25 🥹♥️

core memory: terrorizing the streets at 1am with our acapella rendition of total eclipse of the heart. happiest birthday, Nat. I am the luckiest girl in the world to call you all my friends 🫶🏻

As a Lindy Hopper my first thought when I look at clothes now is, “can I dance in it?” 😂

Clothes swaps are such fertile treasure troves for me because they contain the one thing you can’t get in store: Stories.

I found two vibrant vintage pieces from the founder of @project.be__ — our venue host for this swap. She said they belonged to her grandma and were lovingly tailor made 🥹

Having watched @misdow2103’s docu on her grandmother’s clothes, and the relevance of vintage clothing in the Lindy Hop scene, it felt like the most beautiful way of bringing these two worlds together.

Thanks @zoeycys for coming with me (and dancing with me) 😂 Thanks Joanne from @stories.we.wear for being such a warm, informative source on the swapping floor. And of course, the biggest thanks to the OG @heymelissatan and @fashrevmalaysia for organizing these spaces where we can come together and practice these values in community ♥️

If this inspires you to reconsider what (and how) goes into your closet, I’d love to invite you to a swap!

📍 @fashrevmalaysia for the next one 👗

Pilot ep of JOSHES on JOSHUA ST 🤣🤣🤣🤣 featuring terrible French accents, durian, and sensual barks 🐶 would you watch this sitcom?!

Happy birthday Maxy Max!!! 🥰

I may be the Queen of Surprises but I never thought we could pull something like this off. Asking 30++ people in the Lindy Hop KL community to contribute to a gift of this size was completely inconceivable to me. 🤯

A huge thank you to @chen_patience, who showed me that it was indeed possible: from organizing the Google Sheet, reaching out & following up with everyone, to buying the actual gift, you made this crazy lil idea a reality. You superwoman la babe!!!! 🦸🏻‍♀️

To Max, the fact that everyone was so happy and willing to give speaks so much to the kind of person you are: one who gives so silently, so selflessly, for so long that everyone jumps at the chance to love & support you in return.

This phone is just our way of expressing our appreciation through something you use every single day: to navigate, to text, to drive, to do your 🙄 DuoLingo, to play Pokemon, to send ✨ highly curated✨ reels, to curate music for your DJ Max the Knife sets, to take pretty photos of clouds ☁️ and sunsets, and more.

Finally, the biggest shoutout to everyone who contributed to this surprise gift: thanking you by name because I can’t tag everyone — Alex K, Alexy, Andie, Ashley, Blue, Callie, Han, Hanna R, Hazel, Iylia, Jenn, Jihan, Josh C, Josh K, Kar Heng, Ken, Lee En, Mariah, Martha, Milena, Nat, Nikola, Nina, Patience, Rachel, Raj, Reza, Rieko, Ru, Sarah, Wai, Zhi Hao and Zoey ♥️

I love you all so much. Thank you for being the greatest, most generous community on Earth. I love Lindy Hop!!!!!!!!
