About Christine
Christine Wan is a multi-award winning entrepreneur, speaker, and coach, who inspires others to release the past, speak with confidence, and step into a future of authenticity and hope. Her own life journey, immigrating from Vietnam to Australia as a child, has shaped her understanding of resilience, the power of vulnerability, and the importance of healing. Through her work, Christine empowers individuals to navigate challenges, embrace their unique experiences, and find strength in their stories.
Through "Letting Go", Christine brings readers on the journey of healing, reclaiming our right to exist beyond our suffering and letting go of what no longer serves us to finally find that which we call 'closure'.
Discover Letting Go:
A Migrant Story
This powerful collection delves into the fractured realities of forced migration through four resonant themes:
Place: How do you rebuild a sense of belonging when every connection to your homeland has been broken?
Time: When the past is marked by trauma and rupture, how do you perceive time?
Identity: In the face of cultural erosion and the pressures of assimilation, how does one hold onto a sense of self?
Relationship: When trauma conditions the heart to anticipate loss, how do you forge and sustain connections?
In "Letting Go", Christine Wan offers a profound and moving exploration of the migrant journey, inviting readers to reflect on the enduring impact of displacement and the enduring human spirit.

"Moving."
The poems are very moving. [...] I can relate to the generational trauma and the dissonance that occurs with our parents’ generation who have embarked on a new life but are still tethered to their past. I feel your poems have captured this yearning to understand them and the limbo they/we find ourselves.

"Beautiful poetry!"
Christine, you have created a beautiful book of poetry that encompasses your parents’ journey from Vietnam to Australia during this tumultuous war. [...] While it explores the ongoing repercussions through the generations, it is also a book of hope and love and finding a way not back into the past, but into a brighter future.

"Heart wrenching poetry."
Christine has managed to retell her story and the struggles of her family with a unique combination of story narrative and at times heart wrenching poetry. This is a lovely juxtaposition of history, adventure and prose. A compelling read from start to finish.

"An art form that will resonate."
I am deeply moved by your collection of poetry,
"Letting Go". I read it with joy of your abundant writing talent, and with sadness that I relate deeply to as a survivor of the Vietnam War myself. Christine, your poetic expression is beyond just
a heart-felt story of real life experiences, but an art form that will resonate with many others.
