We recently connected with Thomas Ng, Spiritual Self Love Coach and Founder of Self Love apparel brand, Affirm Your Transformation and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Thomas thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. It’s always helpful to hear about times when someone’s had to take a risk – how did they think through the decision, why did they take the risk, and what ended up happening. Could you please share with us about a risk you’ve taken?

Great question and Absolutely! The Biggest Risk I’ve ever taken was when I decided to quit my corporate job to follow my dream to be a Spiritual Self Love Coach and start my Self Love apparel company, Affirm Your Transformation.

I was 6 years in at the corporate job when I finally pulled the trigger and submitted my resignation.

There were plenty of excuses that I could pull from for why I should stay, but I knew within my heart that I DID NOT want to stay there for another year, let alone 6 more years til death do us part.

My soul was dying. The longer I stayed there, the more meaningless life became for me.

What made me start a business in the field of Self Love?

Because we all need it to survive and thrive.

Because *I* needed it.

What started as a Personal Passion to help me heal and love myself more, became a Passion & Mission to help humanity heal and love themselves more.

Self Love is so essential, but nobody really taught us that.
In most cases, not even our parents.

Now, it’s my Purpose to share this with the world, and help people heal: one Self Love coaching session and a time, and one Self Love shirt at a time.

2 years in after quitting my corporate job, things are going great!
My clients love me, and my customers love my Self Love shirts!

When you bet on yourself and truly follow your dreams, all things become possible!

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that, can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your background and context?

Absolutely! My name is Thomas Ng. I’m a Spiritual Self-Love Coach, and also Founder of Self-Love apparel brand, Affirm Your Transformation.

What really got me on my journey of starting my Self Love brand (other than my passion for Spirituality & Self Love) was the innovative product idea that hit me one day when I was standing in front of my bathroom mirror during Summer of 2020.

That day, I was looking at myself in my large bathroom mirror, not feeling particularly great, and wishing there was something I could do to instantly raise my energetic vibration.

Something that I could wear…and it hit me!

An Affirmation Shirt, but not just any affirmation shirt – one where I can read the affirmation in the mirror, where I can embody and transform my Self Concept (my view of myself) with!

That moment led to the launch of my Self-Love apparel brand Affirm Your Transformation, as well as my Spiritual Self-Love Coaching private practice.

What’s really cool about my Mirrored T-Shirt idea to transform one’s identity is that it’s backed up by Science AND Spirituality.

Affirm Your Transformation helps people create more Self Love, increase Self Esteem and experience greater Self Acceptance via Innovative Apparel Items using Scientific concepts of Neuro-Linguistic Programming(NLP) & Self-Image Correction, and Spiritual concepts of activating Affirmations by declaring them with Emotion.

As for my Spiritual Self Love Coaching private practice, I help people who are emotionally not at ease come back into Spiritual and Emotional Alignment within themselves.

It’s a lot like Spiritual Therapy, where I use Love, Compassion and Spiritual Principles to gently dig deeper to Find root causes of suffering, and Understanding & Transforming them to Heal emotional core wounds.

What sets me apart from Most Practitioners is that most are either/or….meaning they are either purely Scientific (Therapists, Psychiatrists) or purely Spiritual (Ministers, Spiritual Clergymen).

I’m both – I understand Psychology AND Spirituality, and I custom tailor solutions that work best for my clients, so they can get the healing & transformation they desire.

I’m pretty proud to share that all of my clients love me & are raging fans, and that I have all 5 star reviews on my Facebook Business Page.

I’ve been able to help my clients increase their Self Love & Self Esteem, grow Confidence in life/work/endeavors, cure/minimize Anxiety & Depression, and move forward in life with Joy.

Through it all, I think the Biggest Difference Maker in the Success of my Spiritual Self Love Coaching business is that my Clients’ Wellbeing is my #1 Priority.

That’s great to hear, Thomas. Next Question: We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

The Biggest Lesson I had to Unlearn is that “I’m Unworthy until…..”, which I believe is the case with most people as well.

We’re “unworthy” until we earn it – until we accomplish something, until we acquire something.
Until we get good grades, or a good job, or a good salary, or worldly possessions..

And it really all started from the Home, from our young childhood and infant years:
Our parents are not happy with us UNLESS we behave, which feels (and is received as), they don’t love us UNLESS we obey their wishes and desires.

And depending on the Childhood Home (where many have dysfunctions), it can create quite a bit of Childhood Trauma.

The same concept & experiences happens in School and at Work.

Until and Unless we behave and obey authority figures, we are not accepted and their “love or acceptance or adoration or praise” is withheld until we follow the program and do as they say.

This Way of Living and Thinking can be quite damaging to one’s Self Esteem and Psyche, which is why I’m so passionate about helping people love and accept themselves, without a contingent requirement from the external.

Wow, that makes a lot of sense! Do you think you’d choose a different profession or specialty if you were to start all over again?

No. and Because I’m Spiritual, I see things with a different perspective, so get ready for a twist with my answer..

I don’t believe you choose your profession – your profession chooses you!

Your mission, should you choose to accept, is to embrace the Divine Calling that’s linked to your soul’s evolution.

With me, I didn’t “choose” to be a Spiritual Self Love Coach.

This Calling chose me. I embraced it, and now I’m in full alignment with my Purpose & Calling, where I can help myself and the world at the same time, and it is such an honor!

Thomas, thank you so much for your time today!
You’re very welcome! The pleasure is all mine!
