Community Highlights: Meet Evelyn Huynh of Evolve with Evelyn

Today we’d like to introduce you to Evelyn Huynh.

Hi Evelyn, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I’m a first-generation Asian-Canadian currently living in California! My family grew up in communist Vietnam and sought refuge/immigrated to North America with little to nothing and built everything from the ground up so they could give us a better life than they had.

I honestly never felt like I fit in or belonged anywhere due to the cultural differences and being a Chinese woman growing up in a predominantly white community and school. Because of this, I always questioned my identity… because I was taught eastern values at home but was surrounded by western values and teachings… a lot of things in my life didn’t make sense.

I grew up never feeling good enough… I was bogged down by low self-worth, abandonment wounds, trust wounds, and a lack of confidence.

I struggled with my weight, which led to struggling with anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation for a large part of my life. I was bullied for weight and was even called names like “fat Asian chink” by peers at my school. The bullying got so bad that my parents had to legally separate so that I could switch to another school in a different district.

In late 2012, I found fitness… and as cliché as it sounds, fitness saved my life. It helped me rebuild my self-confidence and it helped me see the light at the end of a very dark tunnel… and I became obsessed with sharing fitness with everyone around me.

Shortly after, I got accepted into University and studied Linguistics and Sociology, and I not only finished my 4-year degree a semester early, I also became a personal trainer and started my personal training business at this time so I could help others achieve their fitness and health goals!

This quickly transitioned into online life and fitness coaching where 100% of my clients saw results within the first week of working together. The next thing I knew, people were wanting to learn how I grew my business so quickly, and naturally, I transitioned into life and business coaching.

At this time, I was noticing a lot of themes of self-sabotage and deep-rooted limiting beliefs that were sabotaging people’s success in various industries (business, fitness, etc.). People would make all this money and spend it just as fast as they made it. Others would lose weight and quickly gain it all back. I saw this not only in my own life but with my clients, friends, and colleagues, and I realized there was something much deeper going on… and I wanted to get to the root of it.

I then found myself learning everything I could about subconscious mind reprogramming, inner child healing, and generational trauma healing. I became a certified Master Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner, Master Clinical Hypnotherapist, and Master Life and Success Coach. I also realized that if my clients wanted to see the long-lasting change, they needed to reprogram what has been stored in their subconscious from childhood, past lives, and generationally.

I quickly lost my passion for business coaching and pivoted my business to Inner Child Healing Life Coaching with a specialization in Generational Trauma Healing! I have now created a space where my clients can break free of the stronghold that childhood wounds have held over their lives and reclaim a sense of mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual clarity and peace.

My mission is that we have fun while doing the deep work. Yes, deep work can feel heavy and scary and that’s why I make sure there is always an element of fun or lightness when we work together!

And here we are! I still offer coaching services, and in addition, I share the message and work of inner child and generational trauma healing through my content on social media, my podcast, corporate trainings, and guest speaking!

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
The road has honestly been anything but smooth. I’ve almost given up many times and felt like I had hit rock bottom many times.

Some of the struggles I’ve experienced along the way were:

– Doubting myself and my worth and struggled with a lack of confidence at different points in my journey… I found myself comparing my success to others and questioning if what I was doing was even worth it.

– Childhood trauma and generational trauma… I didn’t realize that all the things I suppressed from childhood were the very same things holding me back from the success I desired. I learned that my self-sabotaging tendencies (perfectionism, procrastination, etc.) were rooted in my childhood traumas and could even be traced back generations. Because I suppressed so much of my past… I was forced to take six months off my business in 2020 so that I could prioritize my healing and work through all the things I’ve suppressed my entire life.

– Substance abuse… I realized that I was struggling with Cannabis addiction for 8+ years of my life and was using it to numb my pain and to run away from my emotions without being consciously aware of it.

– Body image… I have been 197lbs and have also been 112lbs. My relationship with my body and weight has been on multiple roller coasters and I’ve had to learn how to love myself through it all

– Relationships… I have experienced struggles in every single relationship I’ve ever had, from my relationship with my parents and family (being the black sheep) to my romantic relationships and friendships. Like many others, I grew up with a lot of abandonment wounds, which led to me self-sabotaging a lot of my relationships, and I often felt very alone.

– Financial trauma…after working with multiple mentors, I finally got to the root of my self-sabotaging tendencies when it came to my finances. I’ve worked ever since I was 13 (babysitting) and have always had a job making good money! However, I was never able to keep it. I always spent it and I never understood why… which made me extremely self-conscious when it came to money. I then learned that I had inherited the financial trauma that existed in my family for GENERATIONS, which caused me to put money on a pedestal and never feeling like I was worthy to have money.

I’m sure there were more obstacles and challenges I’ve experienced along the way, but these are the main ones that come to mind! I’m extremely blessed that this was my path because I’ve learned, evolved, and grown so much from each experience…. which has helped me so much with relating to my clients and audience!

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Evolve with Evelyn?
I am an inner child healing life coach and I specialize in generational trauma healing! I am known for helping people have fun while doing the deep work! With the work that I do, I also support my clients with relationship coaching, parenting, business coaching, etc., and much more!

What sets me apart from others is my vulnerability, my life experiences, and my ability to create a safe and judgment-free space for my clients and audience to heal, to get vulnerable, and show up as their authentic selves!

When it comes to the brand, I am most proud of the fact that people know I care and I give a sh*t! I didn’t start my business to make money… I started it for the freedom to reach more people and transform lives. So the fact that I am able to make money doing what I LOVE is truly a blessing and I’m forever grateful!

I want the readers to know that life is too short to be living in the past and making the same mistakes. So let’s have fun while you unpack your baggage and heal the wounds that have held you back for so long.

I want you to heal, grow, find your voice, and ignite a spark in your soul.
