From Stage Fright to Stage Light: My Journey as Joey Yap's Special Guest

Marina Bay Sands, April 25-27, 2025. Three days that would forever change how I see myself and my mission in this world.

When Joey Yap invited me as a special guest to share my recovery journey at his seminar, I felt honoured beyond words. My mentor—the man I aspire to become—was giving me a platform to reach over 1,200 attendees. But as the moment approached, familiar doubts crept in.

Calling on Courage When It Matters Most

Standing backstage, my heart was racing. This wasn't just about public speaking—this was about breaking one of Asia's biggest taboos: mental health. In Singapore and across Asia, mental health carries a heavy stigma. People suffer in silence, believing they're broken beyond repair.

I knew I needed help from above.

I spoke to the White Tiger deity, asking for courage to speak on stage. When I stepped onto that stage, I found I could speak more confidently than I had imagined. The same spiritual practice that had helped me through my darkest moments was now empowering me to help others find their light.

When 1,200+ People Become Your Witnesses

Walking onto that stage at Marina Bay Sands, looking out at thousands of faces, I realised something profound: I was no longer the lost, confused person I once was. The Amy who used to ask "Why me?" had been replaced by someone asking "How can I help?"

During my presentation, I shared my recovery journey—how QiMen Dun Jia didn't just help me manage schizophrenia, but helped me strategically "update" my mindset. I spoke about my conversations with The Chief, my chief deity, and how using the mantras Joey taught me to communicate with the 9 deities had become a source of strength I never imagined possible.

The audience was incredibly engaged. During the Q&A session, their questions showed me something beautiful—people were hungry for hope. They wanted to know that recovery was possible, that ancient wisdom could complement medical treatment, that they weren't alone in their struggles.

More Than Just My Story—It's Our Story

What I shared wasn't just my personal experience. I explained how QiMen can help anyone gain clarity when feeling lost, find answers to current situations, and provide guidance for life decisions—whether you're looking for a job, worried about a sick pet, or seeking relationship answers.

The message I wanted everyone to hear was this: Not all is lost. With the right guidance, coupled with medical help, we can all get better and build the life we want.

Standing on that stage, I realised I was doing more than sharing my story—I was helping to overcome the stigma surrounding mental health. I was encouraging people to share their struggles and seek help. Every person who heard my message was a seed planted for change.

Following in the Footsteps of a Master

Joey Yap's confidence, knowledge, and journey continue to inspire me every day. He is my goal—I want to be like him. Watching him work, seeing how he transforms lives through ancient wisdom made practical for modern times, I understand my own mission more clearly.

That day at Marina Bay Sands wasn't just about me speaking to an audience. It was about proving that healing is possible, that wisdom traditions can bridge gaps that modern approaches sometimes can't fill alone, and that every one of us has the power to transform our lives.
