Her powerful insights into self-acceptance and redefining success offer a masterclass for anyone who feels empty despite external achievements.

Episode Highlights

"Success without self-worth is empty" - Glenda discovered that no amount of external validation could fill the void of not knowing and accepting herself.

Changing your environment doesn't necessarily mean quitting your job - sometimes it means changing the conversations you have and investing in personal development.

Glenda asks a powerful question of her clients: "Am I free to be me?" -revealing that many successful people feel trapped inside their achievements.

Self-image is the key to sustainable success - we can change everything externally, but we will never outperform our internal concept of ourselves.

By knowing herself better, Glenda transformed from a "no bullshit, cut the chitchat" executive to a calmer, more effective leader her colleagues recognize as being fundamentally changed.

Personal development isn't just for leaving corporate life - Glenda uses her insights to mentor younger executives and create less toxic work environments.

Glenda Chen

For over two decades, Glenda thrived in the financial industry, earning seven figures and achieving the accolades many dream of. Yet behind the polished success was an exhausting pursuit of worth one tied to constant achievements, external validation, and the belief that more work meant more value.  

A near-death experience forced her to confront a truth many high-achieving women face: Success does not feel as good as it looks, and success without self-worth is an empty victory. This realization led her on a journey to rewire the subconscious mind, break free from perfectionism, and reclaim success on her own terms. Now, as the founder of Phoenix Realms and The Theta Collective, Glenda helps professional women release self-judgment, rewrite their internal programming, and create wealth and success without burnout. By integrating neuroscience, subconscious reprogramming, and high-performance coaching, she empowers women to align their inner worth with their outer success.

Glenda will share how your self-image shapes your entire reality and why shifting your internal identity is the missing key to achieving wealth, confidence, and freedom without overworking so Success feels as good as it looks.
