Intimidate him. That's Mina Yang's philosophy. And it's redefining what empowered love looks like for ambitious women.
You're smart, successful, emotionally intelligent. But when it comes to love, you find yourself over-functioning. Playing it cool. Attracting unavailable men. Wondering, deep down, if you have to tone yourself down just to be loved. You don't.
Mina cracked the code after walking away from a 10-plus-year marriage that looked fine on the outside and felt like self-abandonment on the inside. Now she offers a hybrid approach no one else does: deep subconscious healing through RTT hypnotherapy and practical dating strategy. Most coaches do one. Mina gives you both.
Her method isn't about being more likable. It's about being more you. Clients go from anxious, avoidant, or overgiving to women who date with clarity, confidence, and standards — often within weeks.

Mina brings equal parts warmth, wit, and rigor. She translates complex emotional truths into insights that land immediately — making the abstract feel personal and the clinical feel human. She challenges the myth that success and intimacy can't coexist, and does it with unmistakable calm authority.
Mina is the go-to voice for podcast audiences craving truth, relief, and real transformation in love. With the calm clarity of a therapist and the precision of a strategist, she speaks to healing anxious attachment, dating while successful, and the subconscious patterns keeping high-achieving women stuck. Perfect for podcasts that blend mindset, emotional wellness, and bold conversations.
Mina writes Musings on True Connections on Substack — a rapidly growing publication for high-achieving women navigating love and dating, with hundreds of subscribers and a deeply engaged readership.

I was honored to be Yvonne's featured guest in her December 2025 newsletter titled "Love, Self-Care and the Art of Staying Whole." We discussed how love looks different for women in midlife, how to thrive in love, and what self-care looks like when we are caring for others.
Yvonne writes of her newsletter: "Guiding midlife women back to the most important relationship of their lives, the one with themselves, through the art of self-care ensures that, through their thriving, they are enabled to take their brilliance out into the world with energy, confidence, and joy. In doing so, they role model for generations to come what leadership looks like when it is lived from wholeness."
When it comes to love, so much of what we think is “just who we are” isn’t really ours at all.
It’s the voice of our parents’ expectations, the culture we grew up in, the movies that told us what “happily ever after” should look like.
It’s the subtle programming that shapes how we show up in relationships — how much we trust, what we give, what we hide, and what we believe we deserve.
In my conversation with Dr. Jacqueline Jarl, (a.k.a. Coach JJ), we unpacked all of that — how our early experiences and family stories still echo in our romantic lives, and how to begin freeing ourselves from what no longer serves us.
