This is Me...
MY MISSION
To remind every person of why we’re here, and that life happens on our own terms if we dare to take the power back.
I’m Dr. Kim Dang, and I’ve mastered the game of starting over — seven times.
From journalist and radio speaker to Yale math professor, fundraiser, running a film festival, film producer, actor, and transformation coach — I’ve built and rebuilt my life across worlds, industries, and identities.
I’ve taught at the University of Zurich, Yale, and NYU — in both film and mathematics — and today, I teach something far more universal: how to create a life that feels fully alive.
I am happy 10 out of 10 most of the time. I’m in love with life, financially abundant, and successful on my own terms. I feel beautiful, I age backwards, and I’ve never been more energized. Life keeps getting better.
And I believe everyone can feel this way — not someday, but now.
By knowing your purpose.
By acting with clarity.
By expressing who you truly are, fully and unapologetically.
My work spans speaking engagements, corporate workshops, retreats, online courses, group coaching, and private coaching — all designed to help you rise from clarity and confidence.
My mission is to guide you back to your core — so you can live intentionally, create with certainty, and leave nothing in this life unspoken, uncreated, or unexpressed.
This is how we live — and play — full out.

The Art of Starting Over: Why Letting Go Is the Real Mastery
We often talk about beginnings as bold and brave, spotlighting the leap as the moment of transformation. But if we’re honest, the real mastery is in the ending. The hardest part of reinvention is not stepping onto a new shore, but knowing when, and how, to quietly pull anchor and leave behind what’s become too small.
Stop Trying So Hard
There’s a peculiar sting to hearing “you’re trying so hard,” especially when it’s not a compliment. I recently felt it in an accent reduction class, when my acting teacher’s words landed not as praise, but as a gentle rebuke. In that moment, I wanted to play, to create, to trust my intuition and lived experience. Instead, I was told I was effortful, striving, pushing, trying too hard.
Navigating the Real World: Thriving as a Young Professional
The leap from campus life to the “real world” is one of life’s most exhilarating and daunting transitions. Recently, I sat down with Jessica, a bright recent graduate from Berkeley University who is about to start her television career as a CBS page in New York. Our mentoring conversation reflected the hopes, challenges, and questions shared by so many stepping onto their first career path.
What It Takes to Build Resilient Financial and Personal Foundations
Building a resilient financial and personal foundation is not merely about having a safety net in your bank account but about aligning your life and career with a strong, purposeful WHY.
From Chaos to Clarity: How Kim Dang Helps High Achievers Navigate Uncertainty
Her approach is not about avoiding uncertainty, it’s about learning to navigate it with confidence (or as much confidence possible). Because the truth is, you do not need to have all the answers. You just need to trust yourself enough to take the next step. You also need steady nerves.
The Impact of Multicultural Perspectives in Coaching & Embracing Authenticity with Kim Dang
"Living with parents from disparate backgrounds and moving across countries taught me adaptability and cultural sensitivity,” Kim reflects. “This gave me profound insights into human behavior and the ability to differentiate between an individual’s core truth and their environmental conditioning.”
