Testimonials About Lucy as a Coach, Mentor, and Life Instructor

  • “I have known Lucy for almost 14 years. She is and has always been a strong, successful, and wise woman. She is my role model as a woman, a wife and a mother. However, to be honest, I was skeptical and hesitant when I decided to take her as a coach. I am a middle aged Asian woman, with three young kids and a long list of problems in my life. What can a life coach do in just 3 months? However, she was very professional, patient, and resourceful. With just a few sessions, my life started to transform. I was able to keep a healthy diet and regular exercise. Even though I didn’t focus on my career development with her, by the end of our sessions, the confidence she helped to build in myself has motivated me to pursue my dream career goal. I stopped feeling scared, worried, guilty, not worthy, ugly, being a failure and angry. I even started to believe in myself and believe that I have control of my life no matter how messy it looks. To this day, I have been enjoying my healthy diet and regular exercise. The tips, phrases and practice she taught me have helped me go through a lot of dark moments. I don’t think this short paragraph can cover all the amazing outcomes I got from my sessions. You will find out by yourself if you choose Lucy as your life coach. She is truly GIFTED!”

  • “I am so grateful that I had Lucy around when I was at my midlife crossing thinking of my first steps in my returning to work journey. Lucy is one of the most sunshine and warm-hearted girls that I have ever known. She was a good listener with whom I could fully trust to share my concerns without hesitation. She had a strong empathy for my challenges as she herself experienced twists and turns in the past but never gave up. She understood my needs and my dream and shared with me her valuable experience and strategies towards success. Lucy was definitely a good role model and life instructor whom I enjoyed learning from.”

  • “I recently changed to a very demanding job. It was very painful ramping up experiments for a couple of months. I was totally stressed out and couldn’t sleep during the night. I am so thankful that Lucy was on my side and accompanied me through the time. She listened to me, analyzed my situation, and gave me lots of useful and practical suggestions to handle this situation. She is very sweet and sharp. I can’t thank Lucy enough for her help and really appreciate her coaching.”

Testimonials About The “100 Days to Write a Book” Program

  • My name is Mike Nie, CPA, and I want to share my personal, life-changing experience with Gifted Book Publishing House and Coach Lucy Chen’s 100-Day Write a Book Club. Joining this program was one of the most meaningful decisions I’ve made. Writing a book is not just about publishing—it is a journey of self-discovery, self-expression, and self-discipline. This experience helped me organize years of professional knowledge, life experience, and ideas into one clear, powerful message. As a tax CPA, I consult individuals, families, and small businesses on tax strategy, retirement planning, and financial decisions. Over the years, I accumulated countless insights—but I struggled to synthesize everything into a single framework. Coach Lucy’s program gave me the structure, accountability, and guidance to finally do that. Coach Lucy is an exceptional coach. Her system includes: Weekly word-count accountability and progress reporting Clear milestones that push you beyond comfort zones A strong community that reinforces commitment Step-by-step guidance through writing, editing, publishing, and pricing Yes, writing every week can be uncomfortable at first—but growth always is. The accountability pushes you to show up, day and night, until your book becomes real. Because of this experience, I am now confidently working on my second book, focused on financial education for young people. If you aspire to change yourself, impact your family, or serve others—start your book journey now. Sometimes, writing a book is a calling. It’s how your voice is meant to be heard. If you want to become a different person in 2026 and make a real dent in the universe—write a book. Fiction or nonfiction, print or audio—Coach Lucy is the best guide you can have. Highly recommended.

Testimonials About Writing a Book and Publishing Outcomes

  • “2025年我计划写一部长篇小说，这部小说的人物和故事已在我的脑海中浮现很久了。为此我参加了“Lucy Chen 100天写书营”，即用14周连2天写成一本书。我交了钱，决志以这个项目和学费来强迫自己写完一部长篇小说。第一堂课是北京时间的1月11 号周六，我在泰国，我沒有参加Zoom的线上上课。我没有按时上Lucy老师的写作课，向同学LW要了课后录音，我也没有时间听。我低估了自己不守规矩的能力。但是，Lucy 老师会通过微信和我交流，提醒和督促我上课，并请来获过文学奖的外国作家参加我们的课堂训练，我很喜欢这一部分，后来我受了伤住在医院里，终于开始跟随Lucy 老师上课并按时写完了我心中的那本书。这一切都是因为有Lucy写作营的推动, 约束，和自己的努力才完成的。谢谢Lucy写作营。”

    Translation: “In 2025, I plan to write a full-length novel. The characters and story have been in my mind for a long time. To this end, I joined the "Lucy Chen 100-Day Writing Camp," which involves writing a book in 14 weeks, two days a week. I paid the fee, determined to use this project and the tuition to force myself to complete a full-length novel. The first class was on Saturday, January 11th, Beijing time. I was in Thailand and didn't attend the online Zoom class. I didn't attend Lucy's writing class on time, and although I asked my classmate LW for the class recording, I didn't have time to listen to it. I underestimated my own inability to follow rules. However, Lucy communicated with me via WeChat, reminding and encouraging me to attend class, and even invited award-winning foreign writers to participate in our class training, which I really enjoyed. Later, I was injured and hospitalized, but I finally started attending Lucy's classes and completed the book I had in mind on time. All of this was accomplished thanks to the motivation, discipline, and my own efforts, all facilitated by the Lucy Writing Camp. Thank you, Lucy Writing Camp!”

  • “I had a wonderful experience working with Lucy and her team. They are all very professional and encouraging. The very first time I met Lucy was when we were both on vacation in Egypt by chance. A year later, my mom saw she was hosting a writing camp and automatically signed me up for it. At the beginning of the camp, I had no expectations; just a few small ideas I had previously brainstormed and written down. Eventually, one of those small ideas turned into a book. Week after week, Lucy taught all of us various things and gave us a multitude of tips and tricks to writing an amazing book. She found ways to encourage everyone’s ideas and include everyone in discussions. Writing a book is a complex project, but the way that Lucy designed her writing camp and the way that she inspired me made this complex project into a step-by-step process that was easy for me to follow. As a result of trusting her process, I was able to complete my manuscript and publish my book; something I would’ve never even dreamed of. Lucy is very focused on the product quality and has a very strong and dedicated team. I highly recommend her service.”
