“I stepped out of the building where I work, on my last day at the company. I had a very strange feeling inside me. Unlike the previous times when I quit my jobs, at that time, I was not alone, not afraid. I didn't have a very clear plan of what I was going to do, I just knew I needed to quit the job in order to feel more of myself. Even though I felt some nervousness because I didn't know what I was going to do next, a rather interesting thought came to my mind at that time - well I was different, after all, I still have me. And I think that is the moment I begin to connect with myself, it opens the door to my journey in order to discover myself later”.
Ms. Huyen shared with me the moment she stepped through the door to open a world connected with her soul, passion, and mission to create the True Juice brand. More importantly, she shared the impact she has made with thousands of people in order to have a healthier lifestyle.
Tran Thanh Huyen (Huyen True Juice) graduated from Hanoi University and got a Master of Tourism Administration in the UK. She worked as a visiting lecturer at Hanoi University after returning to Vietnam and used to be an interpreter for the British Council. From 2015 until now, she is a co-founder, chairman, yoga and nutritionist of True Juice.
True Juice is considered to be the leading brand that offers cold juice from organic green vegetables to improve health. True Juice received investment and awards: Invested by Lotte Acceleator & Vietnam Silicon Valley Fund; the top 3 WISE Women Innovation Challenge the top impressive project attending the Women NextGen Entrepreneur event in Switzerland.
The book published by Ms. Huyen about juice and a healthy lifestyle in Vietnamese "Hello Juice" is one of the top bestsellers on the internet.
Ms. Huyen has built a community of tens of thousands of people who are inspired by her every day, and she also makes her mark with communities like Yoga Camp, JYogi, and Juicing Meetup!
You won't have what you don't have yet if you don't do what you haven't done yet.
“After returning from the UK to Vietnam, I worked for large corporations both in Vietnam and abroad. I had a stable job, good salary and a promising career. But after many years of work, I often wondered, "What am I doing this job for?" I found that, "If you do a job that you always ask yourself every day: What am I doing that job for, then obviously you are not passionate about it".
Throughout the struggles defining the purpose of her life, Ms Huyen felt she had to do something differently, otherwise she would always feel like she was in that vicious circle. And one day, that feeling was big enough, she made a decision to quit her job. Ms. Huyen shared with me the decision that had a great impact on her development direction.
Working in the office, much of it seated, with a lot of work pressure created questions lingering in her mind about lack of passion. She often felt tired and even obese. She tried all sorts of different methods, sometimes going dancing, exercising, and taking all kinds of herbal medicines, but as a result, she kept losing and gaining weight.
Only when it comes to juice and Yoga, can Huyen see her real change. Yoga focuses on the breath, but the breath affects the brain, so it creates changes both physically and in thinking. Unlike other methods, when looking at Yoga and juice, Ms. Huyen pursues it single-mindedly and even finds herself "addicted" to it. Also from the process of practicing Yoga and drinking juice, she became more connected with herself.
And as she felt this more and more, she realised that she had found something she could be more passionate about, in contrast to working at the office from which she decided to quit.
Ms. Huyen shared, “When I believe in my values more, the unpredictable challenges or events will not be too scary, and I need things that society often considers to be successful such as having a reputation or a good name. Age or title are not so important anymore.”
Reading this now, you will also be impressed how Huyen has made changes in her lifestyle that led to such life-changing decisions.
