Do You Feel Like No Matter How Much
You Achieve, It’s Never Enough?

You’ve worked hard, achieved success, and yet… deep down, you still feel not enough somehow. If imposter syndrome or the weight of family expectations are holding you back, it’s time to reclaim your sovereignty, and build a life that truly FEELS good, not just looks good.

"Even after years of therapy..."

“I loved the Tiger community! I initially was hesitant to open up, but the warmth, vulnerability, and genuineness of Toni and the rest of the group helped me feel comfortable to share more about myself, and my challenges. I appreciated that Toni really listened carefully and put a lot of presence, effort, and energy into supporting us and remembering even specific little details, analyzing and drawing new conclusions and ideas we wouldn’t have thought of on our own. I felt extremely seen and heard. It felt like seeing myself and my behaviors in the mirror in the other people of the group, and it was healing on a new level, even after years of therapy and working on myself in other ways. I highly recommend this program!”

"Working with Dr. Toni has been a truly transformative experience."

“Working with Dr. Toni has been a truly transformative experience. She brings such a gentle, healing energy to her work, helping me feel safe and supported during our sessions. We processed deep childhood traumas that had been unhealed, allowing me to feel more grounded in who I am. What I appreciate most about our sessions is how they gave me the confidence to step away from my 9-5 job and transition into entrepreneurship. It was a scary moment in my life, but with Dr. Toni’s guidance, I was able to take bold, courageous steps, even when they went against what my parents had hoped for me. I particularly loved how Dr. Toni understood my background with my overprotective, high-expectation parents, and created a space where I could truly be myself and move toward my highest aspirations.“

You are already enough. We'll help you feel & remember who you are.

I’m Dr. Toni Liu MD, a former doctor turned mental health advocate, spiritual teacher & cartoonist. Like you, I was raised in a world of high expectations, harsh criticisms, and conditional love—and I spent years unlearning the toxic cycle of achievement-based self-worth.

Through my unique Transcend the Tiger™ framework, I help high-achievers like you:

As a neurodivergent, highly sensitive, nerdy, overweight, anxious, people-pleaser, I had always struggled with belonging and twisted myself to fit in with my family.

It wasn't until I hit rock bottom in my 30s that I realized I couldn't keep that up anymore.

It's been a brutal path going from A+ Ivy League doctor to a "loser" & "failure" in my family's eyes, even to this day. But it has been so worth it. Being able to finally be my true self & break our ancestral trauma cycle by not passing on pain, fear, resentment, retaliation, or dysfunctional love.

I'm now here to pass on my lessons as a nomadic cartoonist, spiritual teacher, and holistic healer to as many people as I can. I hope to empower you to break free too to unconditional peace & joy, and honor all that you were meant to be.

Frequently Asked:

You’ve spent your life chasing success, but you still feel like it’s never enough. Transcend The Tiger™ helps Asians overcome imposter syndrome, perfectionism, toxic shame, guilt & confusion from high-pressure upbringings, to discover & root into authentic, thriving careers, relationships, health & lifestyles. Incorporating principles from Buddhism, you’ll stop seeking approval and start feeling confident, worthy, and in control of your own success—on YOUR terms. You'll be able to access unconditional joy, peace & sufficiency, regardless of external circumstances, and from that place, naturally excel and express who you were meant to be.

Who is this program for?

This is for Asians who struggle with self-doubt or family expectations, and want to build confidence, set boundaries, and feel truly ENOUGH & confident, regardless of external conditions.

Coaching focuses on actionable strategies and mindset shifts to help you move forward, while therapy often explores past trauma. Many clients find coaching complements therapy or works as an alternative.

How is coaching different from therapy?

No problem! You can book a free 45 minute no-pressure sample session & consultation to explore your challenges and see if this might be a good fit. You can also ask to speak with past clients. You'll leave with customized resources & recommendations regardless if we work together or not.
