Let’s rewrite the story of what’s possible—together.
In this intentional episode of “asian, like me…” Dr. Sohee Jun sits down with Eva Lin, a top-selling real estate agent year after year who transformed childhood criticism into remarkable success. Eva shares her journey from being told she “wasn’t good enough” to becoming Pasadena’s leading realtor and a role model for her daughters. The conversation explores how Eva worked three jobs to fund her USC education, overcame constant rejection in her early career, and invested in herself through coaching and personal development.
Eva reveals her mission to provide her daughters with experiences different from her own upbringing, allowing them the freedom to discover their own strengths. The discussion dives deep into breaking free from family conditioning, developing resilience against rejection, and the importance of maintaining integrity in both business and personal growth. Eva shares her practical approaches to time blocking, consistency in fitness, and the mindset shifts that transformed her professional success rate from 30% to 90%.
Inspirational Quotes from this episode:
“If you believe it, it’s true. If you don’t believe it, it’s also true. It’s all about your beliefs. Right? And I think my second half of my life was a journey, my quest to get rid of the belief that I was given early on.” – Eva Lin
“Whether we’re Asian females, no matter what heritage, nationality, where we come from, there is that part of us that wants deep love from the most important person, whoever that is in our lives. And if that isn’t provided, it is like our life’s mission to undo that need and really give it to ourselves.” – Dr. Sohee Jun
“The overnight success is after ten years of consistently doing the same thing and getting better at it to get to where I am.” – Eva Lin
“I want people and women to know that you can, one, find the help if you look. It’s probably closer in your orbit than you think. They’re there for you, and you do deserve it.” – Dr. Sohee Jun
“It’s always the small things that make the biggest impact. And when you take these to heart, that’s when you will see the biggest result and the biggest impact. And not just for you, but also for those that you love.” – Eva Lin
“Isn’t that what we’re here on this planet to do is to not leave our traumas with our kids? That’s the work.” – Dr. Sohee Jun
“If I were not here tomorrow, how would I be remembered? Have I made an impact in their lives in a positive way? And those are the questions that I always have when I’m being intentional about doing things.” – Eva Lin
This episode offers powerful insights for anyone looking to rewrite limiting beliefs, build authentic confidence, and define success on their own terms. Eva’s journey exemplifies what it means to be a modern Asian woman—being an example of what’s possible when you believe in yourself and take intentional action.
