Update: 2025-10-15
Description
Ready to shatter the old-school corporate rules? In this powerful episode of Career Unicorns - Spark Your Joy, host Samorn Selim welcomes back Rosie Yeung, a Certified Trauma Recovery Coach, HR Leader, and Chartered Professional Accountant.
Rosie, a Chinese-Canadian, immigrant, cis-het woman living with mental illness and recovering from cPTSD (complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), shares her deeply personal journey of navigating identity, assimilation, and complex trauma.
In this episode, we dive deep into:
- The ripple effects of trauma, including gender bias, systemic racism, psychological unsafety, and gaslighting that is often baked into the modern workplace.
- How seemingly "good people" can perpetuate harmful systems and why traditional career advice often fails marginalized individuals.
- Why the problem isn't you, but it's the system, and what you can do to protect your mental health.
- How to anchor in your body, name your truth, and step into your worth, even when the corporate structure is working against you.
- The Un-Executive Coaching™ approach, a practice that sits at the intersection of social justice, trauma, and career growth.
- The importance of having the permission and power to name your truth.
- The fact that you are never responsible for someone else's bad behaviors or the failings of a toxic system.
