Meet the Panelists
Mona Eshaiker
Mona Eshaiker (she, her) is a licensed therapist and consultant with over ten years experience working in the field of mental health. Mona is open about her experience with burnout and her current work examines the stress cycle and how it uniquely affects marginalized employees in the workplace.
Peggy Wu
Previously a commercial real estate lender, Peggy is now a registered yoga teacher and a certified life coach. She turned to yoga teacher training years ago to fulfill a need for life balance and inner peace. To her surprise, learning yoga and becoming a yoga teacher turned into a soulful journey. She later left her corporate job to teach more yoga and discovered life coaching along the way that empowered her to do more for others. Peggy takes pride in being a lifelong learner, a conscientious observer, and a natural developer who has a great passion for helping others grow, transform, and experience success. She is also a believer in connectedness, where things happen for a reason, and everyone is a part of something bigger. She believes that everyone is on this earth to serve a purpose, and the connectedness we share implies responsibilities that we seize to benefit the society at large.
As a yoga teacher, Peggy works with her students on building a mind-body connection. As a life coach, Peggy champions and inspires her clients to pursue their success. Both professions connect her to others through the act of service and provide her with transformative and rewarding experiences.
Peggy's favorite activity is spending time with her husband and their two cats when she is not teaching yoga or coaching clients. She also enjoys watching Netflix, dancing, hiking, and traveling. One of Peggy's favorite quotes is, "The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are" by Carl Jung. One of Peggy's favorite self-affirmations is, "I choose to make the rest of my life the best of my life."
