Yasmin’s heart is most content when she is creating content from the heart. She discovered her passion for words while studying a postgraduate course entitled “Reflective and Creative Practices for Social Change” at the Institute of Development Studies based at the University of Sussex.

Yasmin has been writing poetry since 2019 – it helps her speak what her mouth won't say. Since then, writing has brought her great relief and empowerment.

She is the creator of Pause and the host of the Pause with Yasmin podcast. She grew up in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

As a lifelong learner, Yasmin completed the following courses: Science of Happiness (by UC Berkeley), Spiritual Life Coach, Mindfulness Life Coach, and Meditation Guide.

Before choosing a writing career, Yasmin worked as a consultant at Ernst & Young and as a research assistant at United Nations University.
