My name is Candee Teng, and my journey to mental wellness has been a turbulent yet transformative one. Clinically diagnosed with multiple mental illnesses—including Bipolar Disorder, DID, an Eating Disorder, PTSD, and Clinical Depression—I was in a dark place. Suicidal thoughts plagued me, and I saw no hope for my life. In 2017, I hit rock bottom, with my relationships and family life crumbling around me. As a single mother, I felt like a failure, a hopeless case. My mental illnesses defined me, leaving me uncertain of what I wanted or who I was. In November 2017, everything changed when I encountered life coaching through D' Cup Coffee Republic. I became a certified life coach in February 2018 with Life Coach Philippines, and began partnering with Master Coach A. Through various mental health programs and serving others suffering from similar mental challenges, I realized that my mental illness is not my identity. I learned that even with mental challenges, there is hope, and I could live a beautiful life filled with significance. It was simply a matter of choice. I choose to continually invest in my mental fitness, embracing the healing process no matter how painful, knowing that it’s through facing my pain that my wounds can mend, allowing me to grow. In choosing to embrace my brokenness, I encountered God’s healing power and grace. In 2023, I reached a significant milestone, leaving my psychiatrist's office with a history mark, signaling healing from my mental illnesses. Now, my journey continues toward advocating for mental fitness, being a voice for fellow sufferers, urging them to rise up, and knowing that healing is possible. Today, I am a full-time Professional Certified CACC Life and Mental Health Coach from Life Coach Philippines. I am a Neurodivergent Life and Mental Health Coach who helps clients transform overwhelm to clarity, heal from emotional pain, and manage their mental conditions through creative expression. I invite you to join me on this journey toward mental fitness and fulfillment. Together, we can make progress, healing and growing to live meaningful, significant lives. Let's work together to support and uplift each other, creating a positive impact for ourselves and many others along the way. The journey to mental wellness and meaningful living is one we can embark on together, and I look forward to sharing this path with you. Checkout my website: https://www.tranquilmental.com/

At this stage of the month, the right support helps most with accountability. In Life and Mental Health Coaching, doing everything alone eventually costs more than it saves.
Support isn’t weakness. It’s leverage.
Finish this honestly:
• What I need help with now is __________.
• In my industry, delaying this costs __________ (time, momentum, revenue).
16/03/2026
Give yourself permission to be honest with how you truly feel. It creates a space for reflection so that change can be made for the better.
You can unpack more wisdom from my journal, WISDOM THAT MOVES.
In biblical wisdom, the heart represents the center of thoughts, motives, and intentions. Guarding the heart means becoming aware of what shapes our decisions.
𝙒𝙞𝙨𝙙𝙤𝙢 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙈𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙨 guides readers to examine these inner influences through simple reflection prompts grounded in Proverbs.
If you want to explore how Proverbs teaches awareness of the heart and mind, Wisdom That Moves is now available.
This month demands a different pace. To support the level of work I’m carrying in Life and Mental Health Coaching, my days now need structure.
Burnout isn’t a badge. Sustainability is a skill.
Complete this honestly:
• My current pace feels __________ (steady, rushed, uneven).
• One adjustment I’m making this week is __________ (earlier stop, clearer start).
Momentum doesn’t arrive fully formed. It begins with one decision. In fast-moving industries like Life Coaching, waiting to feel confident often means falling behind.
Movement creates clarity—not the other way around.
Say this clearly:
• Today, I move by doing __________ (specific action).
• In my industry, progress favors those who __________ (decide faster, ship sooner).
I already know what won’t scale this month: reacting instead of deciding. In Life and Men†al Heal†h Coaching, these habits look productive but quietly stall progress.
Reflect precisely:
• The habit that limits growth in my industry is __________.
• If I removed it, I would gain __________ (time, clarity, consistency).
The book of Proverbs is filled with insight about 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘦𝘤𝘩, 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱𝘴, 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘳. Yet many readers move quickly through the verses without pausing long enough to apply them.
𝐖𝐢𝐬𝐝𝐨𝐦 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐬 invites readers to slow down and explore these teachings through reflection prompts designed to turn biblical wisdom into practical awareness.
If you are looking for a deeper way to work through Proverbs, Wisdom That Moves is now available.

Three Ways Life Coaching Improves Your Mental Health

Feel stuck in your life, unfulfilled or lacking in direction? You might benefit from a life coach. “Life coaches are trained to help you heighten your self-awareness, validate your strengths, boost your confidence and guide you to visualize a positive future,” says stress reliance specialist and life coach Heidi M. Weiker, MSSA. The service strikes a chord among people who want to derive more meaning from their lives. “It’s the contemporary thing to do – hire a coach – and it’s different from therapy,” says Weiker. The biggest difference: “Coaching focuses on giving you hands-on methods and evidence-based tools for creating positive changes,” she says. Here are three ways that life coaching can boost your mental health and well-being:
Identifying your strengths. You can make better choices if you know how to capitalize on your strengths and minimize your weaknesses. “Data show that 70 percent of us can’t identify our own strengths,” says Weiker. “Our goal is to give you a solid understanding of what makes you strong, unique and talented and how to use those gifts to get where you want to go.”
Providing you practical information and tools. It’s helpful to reflect on the factors and forces that got you where you are. But a good life coach will also help you prepare a blueprint for taking action in the future. “We give you guidance on putting to use everything you’ve learned,” Weiker says. “People will often tell me that they walk away from coaching with an idea of moving forward and how to utilize resources to make a change in their lives.”
Connecting your passion to your purpose. What do you feel you were put on this earth to do? A life coach will help you figure it out. “Sometimes your purpose doesn’t match you career,” says Weiker. “But we work on how you can put your multiple purposes into practice.”
Life coaching can be tailored to your needs. You might benefit from just a handful of sessions or need one every week for a few months. Usually there is “homework” – behavioral steps and practices you perform between visits that help reinforce your intentions and help you reach your goals. “We can help you live a life you design, rather than reacting to life as it’s moving along,” says Weiker.
