Then Take Your Cue from Helen Woo’s “SELF-AID” to Put Your Life Back on Track

Woo Offers the Transformative Thinking That Helped Her Overcome the Miseries in Her Life

Helen Woo endured her life. It wasn’t living. Raised in a restrictive traditional Chinese-American household, she experienced self-esteem issues, mental and physical abuse, grief, substance abuse, betrayal and depression. Yet she still managed to have a successful career that allowed her to build a bit of a nest egg. Later, when she invested it in a partnership with a close friend, only to have her partner steal all of the assets, that betrayal was the last straw. Alone and raising a son, Woo knew something had to change—and it wasn’t the world around her—it was the world within her.

Freed by the laughter she experienced watching Ellen Degeneres each day, Woo realized that laughter was indeed the best medicine for her. During her healing, she started to read inspirational books, and as she did, she began to revise what she was reading into her own, positive, uplifting interpretations so that it directly applied to her. Each negative thought or emotion was then subjected to a “rewrite” in her mind so that soon she could feel the shift in both her inner AND outer life.

Helen Woo is the author of the book, “SELF-AID” – Inspirations to Turn Struggles to Success”. Helen is also the radio talk show host: Self Aid Success Stories with Helen Woo on Toginet.com.

Helen wants the world to know that just because we find ourselves in a difficult situation doesn’t mean we have to stay there. We can always aid ourselves to a better life.

“Positive thinking in combination with positive action always leads to a positive outcome.” – Helen Woo

Having experienced a philosophical and spiritual shift, Woo created the concept of SELF-AID–an acronym that stands for Self-Aid (self-help), Esteem, Love/Laughter, Freedom, Attitude, Integrity, Dream. Her new book SELF-AID – Inspirations to Turn Struggles into Success (January, 2015), allows her readers to be inspired and uplifted by the very quotes that ultimately turned her life around. Each quote is followed by one of her unique “Wooisms” — the ideal way to interpret the quote to engineer a shift into a higher and better way of thinking. The book, divided into each of these categories, provides Self-Aid for anyone to lift out of their doldrums or depression and move into a life filled with joy, peace, gratitude and prosperity.

Woo is passionate about paying it forward– giving others the thrust they need to overcome whatever past traumas and dramas might have held them back. With her new book, her radio show, SELF-AID Success Stories, and her second book of the same title, due in the spring, Woo shares empowering and inspiring stories from successful entrepreneurs and public figures on how they overcame their own struggles and failures. Woo is also creating a Self-Aid foundation for empowerment that gives people the courage to change from a negative to a positive framework in their lives; leaving the struggle behind and experiencing the surge!

Woo is now an emerging speaker, writer and leader, who brings a welcome ultra-positive perspective to everything she does. SELF-AID – Inspirations to Turn Struggles into Success is a key to opening up the reader’s heart and mind to reframe his or her life from lacklustre to luscious.

SELF-AID – Inspirations to Turn Struggles into Success, is available on Amazon.com for $15.99. For more information, visit

0021 From Roses to Thorns, Overcoming Domestic abuse

April 6, 2015April 24, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast 1 Comment

Originally Aired on: 07-23-2013 on Positive Living Vibrations with Sara Troy and her guest Maxine Browne.

Domestic Violence has to stop and if we know the signs we can avoid the pitfalls.

Introducing Maxine Browne on surviving spousal abuse and how she finds love again when she found love in self.

FROM ROSES TO THORNS, OVERCOMING DOMESTIC ABUSE

Maxine Browne is the author of Years of Tears and an inspirational speaker on the topic of domestic violence. She has dedicated her life to increase understanding of domestic abuse and how to enjoy healthier relationships. In her workshops, Maxine brings you into the world of an abuse victim and describes how an abuser takes control. She describes why people stay in abusive relationships. She also tells stories of abuse and recovery that will inspire you to press past your present circumstances to create the life you want for your family.

Years of Tears

maxine-browne Maxine Browne’s first marriage was volatile. Her playboy husband became a drug addict, selling cocaine to support his habit. After six crazy years, she divorced him.

Then, one failed marriage and two kids later, Maxine met a minister who she thought was the answer to her prayers. Instead, he turned out to be her worst nightmare. He was a controlling tyrant.

He cut her off from her friends and family, including her children. He took control of every aspect of her life…the mail, the phone, transportation and money, to name a few. By the end of 10 years, there was nothing left for Maxine to lose but her life. Years of Tears shares her family’s story of this life-shattering experience, her courageous escape and their journey of recovery.

Stephen Aaron Grey, is a leading Libertarian spokesman, freedom activist, and author of Ant Farm: A Novel About What’s Bugging Society. Are we just being sheeple? does freedom really exist? and can we escape government ruling and come together as a collaborative society that works?

Stephen Aaron Grey is passionate about liberty. Having traveled the globe as an internationally acclaimed DJ (under the stage name ‘Freaky Flow’), he has come to recognize that freedom works, and control does not. A tribute to a George Orwell classic, and simultaneously a nod to those who pursue liberty across the globe, Grey’s Ant Farm expresses these ideas in a creative narrative that anyone can easily understand. With an academic history focused on world religions, to boot, Grey possesses an added cultural sensitivity, which contributes to the universal impact of the philosophies that he holds so dear. It’s no wonder that many are already calling Ant Farm a new classic.

Or will some of the more power-hungry bugs prevail, and deteriorate the new society into the same nightmare from which they escaped in the first place? A tribute to a George Orwell classic, and simultaneously a nod to those who pursue liberty across the globe, Stephen Aaron Grey’s Ant Farm addresses issues like the current global economic crisis, gun control, drug prohibition, measures towards national security and a host of others in its own unique way that is sure to attract attention as a new classic.

P15/07a The Gender Identity Project: Art Book

February 9, 2015August 25, 2022Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

AIRED from February 17th on, “Positive Living Vibrations” with Sara Troy and her guest Daphne Chan

Daphne Chan’s current project “Transparency: The Gender Identity Project” is, “a powerful statement in visibility and diversity.” The project centers on visually depicting individuals who challenge socially prescribed constructions of gender identity and gender expression. Still in its infancy, the work has received widespread attention. The project was listed on Buzzfeed’s “Transgender Art & Culture In 2014” list and Chan successfully completed an Indiegogo campaign for the project. The funds raised will enable Chan to travel to New York for a three-month residency to complete the project. NMP had an opportunity to talk to Chan about the project..

In a world where there are so many life style differences and still such hate for those differences, we need to understand the why the what and in how Gender Identity people have to go through to live as them selves. With T.V shows like Transparent with Jeffrey Tambor and BRUCE JENNER openly coming out as Trans Gender we are shown that no matter how one tries to live a life expected, the truth of a soul must finally free to be or forever live a lie.

Daphne was first exposed to this at 13 years old, when her mother took her to see a lip-synching transexual in a seedy bar in downtown Bangkok. The songbird strutted in the spotlight wearing high heels and a skin-tight, low-cut sequined gown. After the performance, members of the audience were invited backstage to squeeze her breasts as they posed for photos. she was shocked, confused and mesmerized. It was the first time she witnessed the outright subversion of social conventions.”

Daphne Chan’s work explores identity and how it reveals itself through gender, culture, sexuality and body image. With “The Flawless Sabrina” (2006) the fluidity of gender and sexuality were explored by documenting a drag queen named Jack Doroshow. The project delved into communal taboos of populations that rankle social precepts such as the gender identity of genderqueer: a person who identifies as a gender other than “man” or “woman”. The commonality is that all genderqueer people reject the notion that there are only two genders in the world as they believe binary gender is a social construct. Next, “Her Interior” (2007) examines the conceptual conflation between women’s bodies and domestic interiors, how the identification between self and interior is linked with women. Each woman interacts with features of her environment in order to explore how she occupies that particular physical and psychological space.

The fragmentation of the bodies emphasizes the compartmentalization that is inherent in women’s identities. “Transparency: The Gender Identity Project” is a visual depiction of the LGBT and genderqueer community of New York that is unique and much needed. There is still a lack of visibility of specific identities and uncovering these identities will challenge the common stereotypes for what certain identities are expected to look like. It’s a powerful statement in visibility and diversity. The goal is to celebrate and encourage the expansion and public awareness of queer fluid expression. The transgender community has historically faced systemic discrimination and this project provides a platform for visibility, recognition and eventual acceptance. With each project, Chan attempts to reveal one more aspect of our identity and to distinguish the physical corporeal grounding in our bodies and the amorphous, socio-cultural precepts layered upon us.

If you are transgender and live in New York Daphne would love to feature you in her book.

I’m beyond thrilled to have met the inimitable Jeffrey Tambor! I was able to briefly talk about the Transparency photography project and I’ll update you all on any progress!
