Update: 2025-09-24
Description
She speaks about letting go of the need to control every detail and instead staying open to life’s surprises. “The older I get, the more I feel, there’s just so much you can plan, but so much more you can’t”, she says.
Constant change, acceleration, ambitions and aspirations, so many of us are trying to balance the many layers of living in a complex world and creating our own meaning through impactful work. Mabel Sieh’s story is allowing us to take a big collective breath. Maybe even a sigh of relief.
From her beginnings as a teacher and journalist to leading impactful initiatives in Hong Kong and most recently a transformative trip to Nepal, Mabel’s path is anything but linear, and that’s exactly what makes it so powerful.
She speaks about letting go of the need to control every detail and instead staying open to life’s surprises. “The older I get, the more I feel, there’s just so much you can plan, but so much more you can’t,” she says.
There’s a moment in the conversation where Mabel recalls being invited to a corporate event, seemingly insignificant, but that encounter eventually led her back to Nepal, where she felt all the pieces of her past start to click into place.
“I have the privilege to experience a lot of things coming back to my life in a very good and positive way.”
It’s this idea of serendipity that runs like a thread throughout the episode, not as something accidental, but as something that reveals itself when we slow down enough to notice.
As you listen, you will not just walk away inspired by Mabel’s story, but invited to reflect on your own.Her advice? “Connect your own dots.”
This is more than just a conversation, it’s a gentle, powerful reminder that our lives as well as our work don’t have to be perfectly planned to be deeply impactful.
🎧 Tune in to hear how Mabel Sieh lives a life shaped by curiosity, courage, and compassion and why that might be the most powerful blueprint of all.
