What if the biggest thing standing in your way is … You?

We all have it. The BS inside us.

The frustration of nothing changing and the stories you repeat until they sound like truth. That’s your BS ruling you and it’s been running the show long enough.

InSide is a raw, soul-stirring journey into the crap we carry and the messy, magical process of breaking through your BS—so you can influence yourself before you ever try to influence others.

Through unfiltered stories, powerful reflections, and gut-punch moments, Cindy Tien serves truth with wit, grit, and hard-won wisdom forged through pain, addiction, loss, and redemption.

You’ll go beneath the surface of yourself to finally meet the real you—the one who’s stronger than your shame, louder than your fears, and wiser than your wounds.

This is the book you didn’t know you needed (and probably avoided), until now.

This book won’t fix your life, but it’ll help you to face yourself.

When you shift what’s going on inside, everything outside changes too.

About the Author:

EQ Maven. Titanium Hipster. Certified Speaking Professional.

Cindy Tien wears many hats. With more than two decades of experience—a decade in high-value acquisition roles with multinational corporations and over another decade speaking, training, and coaching professionals across luxury brands, financial institutions, and global giants—Cindy brings rare credibility and practical insights to every stage.

But it’s not just what she speaks on. It’s where she’s come from. Her nickname “Titanium Hipster” (she’s literally metal in her hip), comes from overcoming near-bankruptcy, multiple addictions, and two major hip surgeries. Her journey is one of radical transformation. Her trademark blend of unfiltered honesty, dark humour, and disarming empathy helps others confront blind spots, break through barriers, and change the way they lead, sell, and live.

Her work rests on one truth: Before you can influence others, you must first influence yourself. Today, Cindy inspires her audience from her scars, helping leaders and teams break through their BS, and turn EQ into influence.
