The Happy Coach · yvnspace · Singapore

Find your
own happy.

You've built an impressive career — agency, tech, corporate, client-facing. You're brilliant at the job. But somewhere between the brief and the board deck, you stopped recognising yourself in the work. Let's find the thread back.

"Happy means to be free."

— Yvonne's core value

What I help you build

Clarity. Alignment. Joy.

My story

I used to think the mind
could override everything.

I grew up as the eldest daughter in a strict Asian household, where being the 'model kid' wasn't a choice — it was a contract. I did what was expected. I pursued what looked right. And from the outside, it worked. A diverse career across luxury events, medical sales, Amazon, marketing agencies — competence at every turn.

But inside, I felt suffocated. Every "successful" step felt like it belonged to someone else's life. I struggled to listen to myself. I didn't know how to want things just for me.

Then came a period of very deep darkness. A phase I now understand was likely depression — one that brought me to a place I never want anyone else to reach alone. It was a random text from a friend that pulled me back. That moment changed everything.

It taught me that emotions are not weaknesses. That the mind cannot — and should not — override the body and the heart. That real strength begins when you stop performing and start feeling.

I started making choices that didn't make sense to anyone around me. Freelancing when I was doing well. Switching industries. Carving a path that was mine, even when it was lonely. Coaching — through my ICA training — gave me the language and the container for what I'd already been living.

I don't coach from theory. I coach from the inside of it.

  • Emotions are information, not problems to fix
  • The 'right path' is the one that's actually yours
  • Clarity comes from within — not from another person's approval
  • It's never too late to start from scratch
  • Joy is not a destination. It's a practice of alignment.

"I decided to not conform. To carve a path that was not the norm — even when no one around me could understand why."

I've been through corporate, freelance, restructuring, and reinvention. I know the particular loneliness of a path that doesn't match the people around you. And I know what it feels like to finally land somewhere that is genuinely, quietly, deeply yours.

That's what I want for you.

Yvonne also moves her body — contortion, aerial silks, pickleball, squash. Not as hobbies but as philosophy. The body holds wisdom the mind won't admit. That understanding shapes how she coaches.

Core philosophy

happy means to be free.

Not free from responsibility. Not free from hard work. But free from performing a version of yourself that was never really yours to begin with.

Free to want what you actually want. Free to build something that fits. Free to feel joy — not as a reward at the end of the grind, but as a compass you use every day.

  • Freedom looks like clarity — knowing what you actually want, without the noise
  • Freedom feels like alignment — your work, your values, your life moving together
  • Freedom sounds like your own voice — not the one you perform, the one you trust
Who I work with

You're excellent at the job.
That's not the problem.

I work with mid-to-senior professionals in marketing, agency, tech, and client-facing roles — people who are highly capable on the outside and quietly questioning everything on the inside.

01

The Account Director at a Crossroads

You've managed global clients, hit your targets, impressed the room. But the Sunday dread is getting louder. You're good at the job — you're just not sure it's still yours. You need someone who's been in that seat and chose a different door.

02

The High-Performer Running on Empty

You've optimised everything except your own fulfilment. The KPIs are green, the promotions have come — and you're more exhausted than you've ever been. What you're feeling isn't burnout. It's misalignment. There's a difference, and it matters.

03

The Professional in Transition

Between roles, between industries, between the person you were and whoever comes next. You need more than a career coach with a framework. You need someone to hold space while you figure out who you're actually becoming.

04

The One Who Chose the Unconventional Path

You left the stable job, went freelance, switched lanes — or you're thinking about it and everyone around you thinks you're mad. You know something has to change. You just need someone who won't flinch at building something that doesn't follow the script.

If you've ever written a campaign for a global brand and thought "I'm brilliant at this — and I'm not sure I want it anymore" — that's exactly where we start.

Let's talk
How we work together

Not a quick fix.
A real shift.

01

Surface

We start by getting honest about what's actually going on beneath the capable, functioning exterior. No judgement. No agenda. Just clarity.

02

Explore

We dig into the beliefs, patterns, and stories that are running the show — and ask which ones still belong to you, and which ones were borrowed.

03

Realign

We identify what alignment looks and feels like for you — not abstractly, but in your daily choices, your work, and your relationships.

04

Move

You leave with more than insight. You leave with a clearer sense of self, concrete next steps, and the internal compass to keep going.

About Yvonne — The Happy Coach

Trained coach.
Lived experience.
Both matter.

I'm an ICA-trained coach based in Singapore with 15+ years inside the world I now coach people through. I've been Account Director at a global agency managing Meta across APAC, Team Lead at Amazon Prime Video, Strategic Account Manager in the medical field, and project manager for luxury brands including Cartier, Chanel, and Mercedes-Benz.

I know what it feels like to be the most competent person in the room — and the most quietly lost. I know the 10pm client calls, the performance reviews that mean nothing, the identity that slowly becomes your job title. I paid that price. And then I chose differently.

I've sat in the account director seat. I know what it takes — and what it takes from you. That's not something you can learn from a coaching textbook. It's something you live. And it's what I bring into every session.

Ready when you are

The first step is just
a conversation.

You don't need to have it figured out. You just need to be honest enough to admit something isn't working. Book a no-pressure discovery call — and let's see what's possible when you stop optimising for everyone else's expectations.
