Working with me means being a part of the ripple effect of women leaving a legacy of wholeness, and liberation in their families and corporate entities. 

Hey there, I'm Char!

Trauma-Informed Culture Strategist & Self-Love Coach

I’m a trauma survivor, a truth-teller, a mom to two mixed-race kids, and a deeply spiritual, strategic, and sassy human who refuses to do business any other way than what feels right in my bones.

 

I’m the daughter of Chinese immigrants, navigating filial piety with just being my damn self. I learned to survive by overachieving, people-pleasing, and doing everything “right.” I wore the armor, followed the rules, was basically a robot, and somewhere in there, I forgot who I was.

 

After being sexually assaulted at 17 and burying that pain for years, life eventually gave me the wake-up call I couldn’t ignore. I had to face it. I had to do the deep inner work. Bit by bit, I peeled back the layers to unlearn the noise and reconnect with the parts of myself I thought were gone.

 

That journey became the foundation of my life’s work: helping women, moms, and executive level leaders get clear on who they are, claim what matters most, show up fully as the person they choose to be, not who they were told to be and pass that along to their communities.

Work with Me

Client Love

In my career, Char has pushed me to grow beyond my comfort zone and take on positions and responsibilities that I didn't think would ever be in my line of sight. Professionally and personally she has helped me reframe challenges that I've come up against and helped me strategize how to, confidently, move forward. She is always incredibly honest and I have always felt like she considers who I am as an individual and that I'm not just getting stock advice and direction. I have always been a person who goes with the flow and I have never felt ready to challenge someone when they say something that goes against my idea of what's right. Char has helped me understand why I retreat and how I can counter someone in a respectful, yet powerful and empowered way.

Char Wong-Richardson Coaching + Consulting wants to acknowledge that we are uninvited guests on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the qÌ“ic̓əyÌ“ (Katzie),  q̓ʷɑ:n̓ƛ̓ənÌ“ (Kwantlen), Máthxwi (Matsqui), and se’mya’me (Semiahmoo) First Nations. These lands have been cared for by Indigenous peoples for millennia, and their deep connection to this land continues today. This acknowledgment is a step toward truth and reconciliation; an encouragement to us all to learn more about the rich histories, cultures, and ongoing contributions of Indigenous communities and to support their efforts toward justice and healing. Let this reminder inspire us to act with respect, gratitude, and commitment to meaningful change.
