3: Wealth & Depression with Cherry Tung

Burntout to Badass

**TRIGGER WARNING - There is discussion about a period of time that includes sexual assault.**

Despite making very good money in an industry that she’d always dreamed of being in, Cherry Tung was not happy. The reason for that could lie in the fact that the illusion of ethics and truth was shattered when someone in the industry drugged and raped her. Listen as she shares her story and what it took for her to create her own business to help more people find wealth.

Cherry was raised by a very traditional Chinese family. The expectation was that she would go to school, get a good job, and build her portfolio over years. When the assault happened however she realized that the plan was flawed.

She still got her degree and she even later worked in the industry at a different firm, but she soon had an epiphany. She didn’t want her boss's job. If she didn’t want to become the boss, what was she doing wasting her time there?

Eventually she sought therapy and was diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety, and depression and was subsequently put on some very strong medications. Through therapy, working out, journaling and more she began to conquer her low self esteem and her wealth coaching business was born.

Cherry’s story is extremely unique while at the same time being all too similar. Listen in to learn more.

“I kept uploading videos on YouTube and Instagram just to feel alive but deep inside I was really broken.” Cherry Tung
