From Survival Mode to Thriving - My Path to Self-Healing and Mental Freedom.
There was a time in my life when I felt completely trapped—surrounded by an overwhelming darkness that seemed impossible to escape. On the outside, I appeared normal—successful, functioning, and seemingly in control. But inside, I was unravelling. The weight of my mental health struggles during the COVID-19 pandemic became an avalanche that buried me alive. Everything happened all at once, and I was left completely broken!
During the pandemic, my health deteriorated rapidly. My blood pressure skyrocketed to a terrifying 283/187. My weight ballooned to 119kg. Doctors conducted countless scans and tests, and they found a lump in my kidney that was potentially cancerous. On top of that, they diagnosed me with a weak heart and borderline diabetes. I couldn’t believe it—how could all of these things go wrong at the same time?
I freaked out! As if my mental health struggles weren’t enough, now my physical health was crumbling too. I was drowning in debt after losing my business, and I became the scapegoat for situations, got cheated, manipulated, gas-lighted and I had little control over. The pressure, the anxiety, the depression—it was all too much to bear. I lost so much hair, and what remained turned grey almost overnight. I also suffered memory loss and brain damage. My skin aged rapidly, with new wrinkles appearing as if I had aged decades in a matter of months.
Every waking moment felt like a nightmare. I was in total chaos, and I couldn’t see a way out. My life was falling apart and I truly thought my life, as I knew it, was over. I was utterly alone, left to fend for myself when I had nothing left to give. It was surreal and daunting, with every thought in my head heavy and negative. I couldn’t think straight. No friends, no help, no one to talk to and everyone simply turned their backs on me! Not to mention the betrayals and loss identity and reputation. It was really too much to bear. All I see is darkness! The idea of ending it all crept into my mind more than once, and the thought scared me.
For the first time in my life, I felt like I had failed in every possible way. I am a Malaysian with a Chinese Heritage. I have been living in Australia for the past 30+ years. I had started working at a very young age—just 10 years old—and had faced challenges big and small. But nothing prepared me for this monumental, unprecedented mental, emotional and physical breakdown. I was trapped in survival mode—constant fight and flight mode, I couldn’t sleep and constantly waking up every half an hour or so with no more strength left to fight back.
But then, just when I thought there was no hope left, a light appeared—quite literally, a light within me. It was the beginning of a spiritual awakening that I never could have expected. Slowly, I began to follow that light, and it guided me out of the darkest period of my life. I realised that true healing wasn’t going to come from doctors or medication—it had to come from within.
That realisation was my turning point. I embraced a holistic approach to healing, focusing on mindful eating, meditation, and reconnecting with my inner self. Connecting with God. Without medication and without relying on the conventional paths, I lost 37kg in four months. The fat in my body suddenly melts away. I was transforming from the inside. But more importantly, I started to heal the emotional wounds, dealt with my shadows that had been weighing me down for so long since childhood. I rebuilt my sense of self, my new identity, my confidence, and my purpose in life.
Today, I stand as someone who has not only survived but has thrived after the most difficult period of my life. My heart is strong, my mind is clear, and my spirit is filled with gratitude. I didn’t just heal—I transformed. And now, having walked that path, I’m here to help others do the same.
I know what it feels like to be trapped, to lose hope, and to feel like there’s no way out, especially with the unprecedented current global affairs. But I also know that healing is possible. If you’re reading this and you’re feeling stuck—whether in your mind, your body, or your spirit—I want you to know that there is always a way forward. You don’t have to stay trapped in this darkness forever. You are having an Awakening!
Together, we can work through the pain, the anxiety, and the overwhelming pressure. Remember diamonds are formed under immense pressure. Together, we can embark on a journey of self-healing—one that empowers you to take control of your own mental, physical and emotional wellness. Healing isn’t easy, and it doesn’t happen overnight. It’s not like swallowing a pill and I am healed. I wish it was that easy! But it is possible and can be done. You just have to trust the process, have faith and commitment! You have the strength within you, even if you can’t feel it right now. Your soul is begging you to take the leap of faith. I’m here to help you unlock it. To find the new you and to be your best version yet!
Thank God, I found my way through, and now I’m dedicated to guiding others out of the darkness as well. More accurately helping you to illuminate yourself from within. I will help you to bring out the light in you. This is my new life cycle, and I’m committed to showing, leading and inspiring others that the world can be beautiful again. You can live simply and always find peace, living in the moment, be authentic no matter how lost or overwhelmed you may feel right now.

A Life Built on Purpose and Meaning
An extraordinary life isn’t measured by accolades or material success, but by living in alignment with your values and making a meaningful impact. For Ronnie Yap, his life has been shaped by the pursuit of purpose and the desire to inspire others. His story reflects resilience, growth, and the belief that everyone has the potential to lead a life filled with purpose and fulfillment.
Rising from Adversity
Ronnie’s journey began in an environment of emotional hardship and neglect. Raised as the eldest child, he faced abandonment from his parents and loss when his grandmother, his main caregiver, passed away. These early experiences shaped his path, forcing him to mature quickly. He had no choice but to become independent, working from a young age and taking responsibility for his younger sister. Although these hardships left emotional scars, they also set the stage for his deep empathy and drive to overcome life’s challenges.
Discovering the Power of Generosity
Amidst the struggles of his early life, Ronnie found a profound truth: giving brings purpose. Despite feeling disconnected and unworthy, his innate desire to help others only grew stronger. He committed himself to understanding how people could thrive even in the face of adversity. His passion for giving back led him to support numerous charities over the past 30 years, and he came to understand that the path to true happiness lies in serving others and spreading kindness.
A Journey Toward True Self-Discovery
Today, Ronnie’s dedication to helping others is stronger than ever. After battling personal mental health challenges, he has emerged with a clear mission: to guide people in breaking free from societal expectations, discovering their true selves, and finding inner peace. He believes that by cultivating self-love and expanding our awareness, we can all achieve a life of balance and fulfillment. Ronnie’s new journey is only beginning, and it’s one focused on leading others toward personal transformation and genuine happiness. Always be authentic!
“Ronnie’s wisdom and deep insights have been life-changing for me. With his guidance, I’ve lost over 22 kilos, but the transformation goes far beyond physical weight loss. I now have more energy, feel more aligned with who I truly am, and have awakened a new sense of purpose from the inside out. Ronnie’s support has helped me tap into a version of myself I never thought possible.”

His support was more than just advice—it was the light I needed during my darkest moments. Thanks to him, I now feel empowered and aligned with my true purpose.”
Michael, Community Worker
“I was in a very dark and hopeless place, feeling completely stuck. Just like Ronnie, who has faced his own battles with mental health trauma, he was able to deeply understand my situation and guide me through it. With his compassion and wisdom, I learned to love myself first and finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel. Ronnie helped me not just survive but thrive, and for that, I’m forever grateful.”
