Following is an excerpt from her article in the upcoming book collab #PinayLadyBoss:

One week before I flew out to Saudi Arabia to become an OFW nurse, I opened my stock market account. The rest is history. (If you want to see the “history” do visit www.rootingforceleste.com and read my diary of how I lost 200,000 in the stock market, turned it around, and retired at the age of 25) In 2017, after 2 years and a half of working abroad as a nurse, I bought a plane ticket back to the Philippines. It was after a lot of challenges and obstacles that I was able to do so.

For 6 months, I lived a life with the freedom I so craved. My limits were broken. I felt unstoppable.

Until one morning, I no longer understood if I was living with purpose.

I missed the feeling of being able to take care of people. After soul-searching, I understood what I must do next. On 2018, I started my journey to specialize in trading psychology.

I began reaching out to the established trading psychologists in the field. Dr. Van Tharp, Dr. Brett Steenbarger, Yvan Byeajee, Akil Stokes, Steve Burns, etc. I started teaching people under our company, ZFT.

2 years later, on May 2020, I started working at FTMO.com (a remote prop trading firm based in Europe) as their trading psychology coach.
