You know why I like using AI, especially ChatGPT?
Because ChatGPT has been with me almost from day one.
And sometimes, very politely, it tells me off.
Not literally tells me off lah! 😂
But when I say something that sounds too crude or too strong, it will say, “Peggy, maybe you want to soften that wording.”
And you know what?
Sometimes I appreciate that.
Because when I am doing my TikTok Live, I am in the moment.
I feel something.
I say it.
I mouth it out.
And sometimes, after I hear myself saying it, I think:
“Hmm… maybe there is another way to say this.”
That's the difference between speaking spontaneously and preparing a presentation.
When you are a CEO, a presenter, or someone speaking to a large audience, you may spend hours looking at your script.
Why?
Because not everybody hears words the way you intend them.
The person speaking may have no bad intention.
But the person listening may interpret it differently.
There's a Cantonese saying that captures this beautifully: sometimes the person who says something has no particular intention, but the person who hears it may give it another meaning.
And that's why language matters.
So when I used the word “victim” earlier, I realised—
Maybe I don't need that word.
Not because the experience wasn't real.
Not because the pain wasn't real.
But because I don't want to define you by what happened to you.
Maybe I can say:
“someone who has experienced something painful.”
Or:
“someone carrying a painful experience.”
That feels much closer to what I want this room to be.
Because this is not a room where I want you to remain inside your pain.
This is a room where I want you to reconnect with yourself.
And sometimes, people do come in and share very personal experiences.
I've seen it happen during my 9 a.m. sessions.
Someone comments.
They share how they feel.
I'm not necessarily coaching them.
Sometimes I'm simply asking questions, sharing what comes to me, and giving them a space to think.
And afterwards, they tell me they feel they have moved one step further.
To those people—
I want to congratulate you.
And please forgive me if I cannot remember all your names.
There are too many of you! 😂
But I remember the moments.
And I remember that you came into the room as “User 1234” perhaps, and then you put your name there.
And something changes when you do that.
You are no longer just watching.
You are acknowledging:
I am here.
I am part of this room.
I am part of Children of the Universe.
And that matters.
So if you are carrying a painful experience, you don't have to call yourself a victim.
You don't have to use any label at all.
You can simply say:
“This happened to me.”
And then ask yourself:
“What do I want to do with it now?”
That's where Inner Dialogue begins.
And yes—
I will make mistakes.
Sometimes I will bite my own tongue afterwards and think, “Oops, Peggy, maybe next time say it differently.”
But that's okay.
Because what matters is the intention to learn.
The intention to connect.
The intention to help you come back to yourself.
So tell me—
What word would you use for your own experience?
And what would you like us to talk about next?
Come into the room.
Be yourself.
Connect back. And let's continue this conversation together.
