Amazing dynamics! Aiken asking all the right questions and Rach dishing out world class answers. 💯 Structured yet organic, formal yet casual, inspiring yet genuine.
I took so much from this interview with Rachel; her strength, humility and love for her community. If someone were to ask who is someone I look up to in Singapore, it will be Rachel Lim for me. God bless you, Rachel!
Im deeply encouraged by Rachel's experiences and her courage in overcoming the obstacles that she's facing. I was like I need to re-watch this the 2nd time again🙌
I’m so incredibly blessed by this interview. I believe God sent this interview for me to watch at the perfect time when I felt really down about myself. Teared and cried multiple times throughout the hr long interview. So many parts spoke straight to me and are exactly what I need to work through in my own growth journey. I’m sure many women (and men) would be blessed hearing this. Continue doing this great work! I truly believe you’re onto something here!
Wow. Eye opening and enriching. I’m on a journey of self-discovering again!! It’s enlightening to know that I can do something about my response and my future, not just drowning in regrets, blaming and what not. So good episode!!!❤ Thank you for sharing authentically. I really can relate to authenticity!!
Good podcast but will be great if Aiken is able to cut back on the interception i.e. all the ‘ya’ ‘yes’ ‘uhm’ whenever the guest is saying something. Audio-wise, it doesn’t make for a smooth listen. I understand you probably wanted to let the guest know you’re listening but it’ll be better to let the guest finish their sentences / response before acknowledging what they said. Nodding would suffice to show that you’re actively listening 👍🏻
Thanks for the feedback Dan! I thought the same when I was editing this episode. Truly new grounds for me and I'm still learning. Thank you watching and commenting 🖤
"How can I continue to admire your giftings while not questioning mine?" 🔥I am impacted by Rachel's authenticity and vulnerability & I am absolutely loving this series!
How easy it is to say "I married real young" - 22 is not that young - and realize only after a year that both were not mature enough to make it work. This is where premarital counsellors can tell couples to wait and not buy into the 'sunken cost fallacy' (dated for 5 years).
I did not expect to take away so many life lessons from this episode 🤯 Like how happiness & jealousy can co-exist and how we can deal with it healthily!! Lovin’ this series and this episode Aiken, you both are an inspiration to many!! ✨💛
@@AikenChiaMingkeeping shining forward Aiken ✨ sharing my 3rd public YT comment here shyly and manifesting doing sth (or just an interaction) as cool, vulnerable and inspiring like this with you someday 🫰🏻
This episode felt like therapy. Thank you both for being vulnerable and helping to express a lot of jumbled emotions into words. Had a lot of 'ohhhh so that's what it issss' moments 😂
Thank you for having this session, Aiken & Rachel. It is such vulnerable, open and authentic sharing. Hope you find your calling for your next stage, Rachel.
I love this episode so much! Thanks Aiken and team for diving into different aspects of Rach’s life that are not shared on other platform. Thanks Rach for sharing! You are one of my favourite idols!

Aikennnn! I’m not sure if you remember me. Anyway…. Have been following you for awhile and love your work, and your desire to honour God. ❤ thank you, for your content, and keep up the good work ❤
Oh my!! Hello Ai Ping! Of course I remember! Thank you so much for leaving this comment and for following. I really appreciate it! SHSS represent! Haha hope you're doing good and well 💙 this series is entirely self-funded and ad/sponsor-free, so we really appreciate your gift!
I don’t think anyone should be shamed for divorcing. It’s so sad that Rachel had to reiterate several times that she is not ashamed. There shouldn’t be any shame at all in the first place. Virtual hugs to divorcees.
Dear Aiken, if you could fix the subtitles where hearing impaired or our hearing slightly disabled friends could read captions that aren’t jumbled like “love ponito 🤣🤣”, or “watch Sharman thrive” I’m sure they would love you for it 🎉🎉🎉🎉. From a mum watching in silence while putting her baby to sleep
To celebrate the success of someone without undermining your own strength is great strength. Like the direction of this serious and the authentic sharing.
I also wanted to share that Rachel's story of overcoming her first marriage at 22-23 years old, my goodness, I just went through the end of my first relationship and I had the same thoughts as Rachel, and I am so thankful for her story because it just shows me that God is a redeemer, and He has written our future, and it gives me hope for my future relationship
Ehh maybe i sua ku. Suggest you put her title 'Founder of Love Bonito' or something, because I was actually confuse on she was, and didnt click on the video But thankfully i clicked it in the end. I was so absorbed haha And I liked that Aiken asked enough about her divorce, but never overdo it
Hello! Aiken we really love this new series from you, it brings so much depth and we appreciate you AND your village so much better… thank you so much. This is our first RU-vid comment, …hope you take this as a huge compliment! Hehe. And I decided to comment on this one because Rachel is such an inspiration to me as someone who built Love Bonito, her heart, and the journey she’s been on.
Aww thank you for spending your first youtube comment on us 💙 now that I'm independent, it's been great to be able to show other facets and interests besides the usual! Thank you for watching and commenting! More to come 💙
Thank you so much Aiken for this great episode, and asking the questions that I believe many viewers would wanna ask Rach too. It was a truly inspirational episode with the open and honest sharing by Rach and yourself too. Looking forward to many more of your great works. JIAYOU Aiken n team!
This is the only video that is at the back of my mind and I know I need to come back and finish it! Rach really have the power of sharing and making viewers like me listen to her so hard and I see myself nodding my head every time she shares ❤ thank you so much for this episode, Aiken and team!
Er who is this girl? Is she an actress? Model? Are we supposed to know her? I wish there was some background, as i doubt this lady is automtically known.
Thank you for the whole team for making this interview! It is definitely worth the time watching it and taking self learning note on how it can apply to my own of self-discovery journey. Some of us may not have the luxury to go through professional, but have been following Rachel’s at her own interviews with professional and that somehow works too! Also seeing how she being consistent in every platform, I think that is how authentic would be like. Once again, thank you Aiken and the team for arranging the episode and it definitely encourage me in my season of life!
Simply WOW! Rachel, you are great inspiration to every one. Id love to know who your professional support team when you had problems and issues. I also suffer from people pleaser as well
Thank you for making this episode. I love and respect Rachel Lim so much. She has helped me in my own journey of growth from a student to now a working adult. I hope that I’ll be able to interact with her one day.
Thank you so much Aiken for featuring Rachel! Also, thank you Rachel for the many life lessons! Just when I was searching for some encouragement for myself, I found this. I thank God for you both. This is what I need currently as I continue to recover and to know "who I am" again. Thank you

Was this interview filmed way back? Haha i really enjoyed it!!! Byt just curious cos rach is now a mum of 2 and that wasnt mentionez 😅 but awesome interview and definitely took away many precious life lessons🎉
idk man.... love u as always aiken, and btw that's a really beautiful set and cool neighbourhood view. after watching rachel over a number of her interviews, I must say she always comes across to me as an image-crafter. so always got more inauthentic, 'i'm here to market myself' vibes, rather than prioritising (sometimes ugly) truth and genuine conversation.
Love this series! Such a deep and vulnerable sharing. Truly inspiring and relatable in many ways! Rac definitely has the gifts to be a life coach or inspirational speaker!
this was such a good interview & an inspiring watch. Thank you for sharing your story & for being real. Took away so much from this, keep it coming Aiken & team! ❤
The interview was extremely insightful and was wonderful to pick up lessons from, thank you to Aiken and the team for sharing this content! If I may comment though, the audio sounds soft throughout so it's as if my volume has to be increased to a pretty high volume to ensure Rachel and Aiken is audible. Plus, audio has a minor reverb when Rachel speaks. Just hoping for the overall experience to be better as more guests speak to Aiken (Assuming there are more interviews).
Thank you Aiken, awesome! Rachel's story is so inspiring. I m super encouraged esp whn she willing to let go but to trust who she is rather than what she is. Though not knowing her personally but jst felt her heart n connected w her. Rachel, continue to be e salt n light! God ll definitely bless n move you into greater way beyond u really can imagine!
