From Living by Other People’s Opinions to Living a Life of My Own — Fueled by Passion and Freedom
Hello everyone, I’m MC Yuris.
I started hosting at the age of 15. I later travelled to Taiwan to study broadcasting, took part in various television dramas and variety shows, and even spent all my savings on a Working Holiday in the United States and New Zealand
To the outside world, I was a free-spirited, courageous, and energetic host who loved surfing, diving, and adventure.
But deep down, I was once deeply afraid of being judged.
I constantly felt trapped by the stereotype of what a female host “should” look like—tall, fair-skinned, and elegant. This led me into a cycle of self-doubt and anxiety.
My turning point came when I was introduced to NLP and psychology. One day, my coach asked me to name five things I appreciated about myself every day, but I realised that I simply couldn’t do it.
That was when I finally recognised the truth: I had become overly dependent on external validation. I was used to relying on other people to prove my worth. No matter how much praise I received, I would still dismiss my own strengths because I had never truly learned to acknowledge and appreciate myself.
When I began to embrace who I truly am, everything changed.
I stopped hiding my 148 cm height and proudly embraced the identity of the “Short-Legged Host.” I stopped chasing fairer skin and confidently embraced my healthy, sun-kissed complexion from my love for outdoor adventures.
Unexpectedly, when I stopped trying to meet everyone else’s expectations and started courageously being myself, the very things I once considered “imperfections” became the unique qualities that made clients choose me.
Today, I am not only a host who brings energy and vitality to every stage, but also an NLP Life Coach who hopes to accompany 100 people on their journey to break through their inner limitations, recognise their own worth, and become the person they truly want to be.
Change is never something we can simply think our way into—it is something we have to walk our way into.
As long as we are brave enough to take that first step, there will always be more beautiful scenery waiting for us ahead.

When I stopped living according to other people’s opinions and stopped being confined by society’s expectations, I finally began living for what I truly love.
I climb mountains, dive into the sea, and embrace every new experience the world has to offer.
I want a life that feels wild, free, and fully alive—one filled with passion, adventure, and no regrets.
So choose yourself, chase what sets your soul on fire, and live it your way. ❤️
