THE STORY BEHIND
TO BE MORE HUMAN
FOUNDED BY SERGIO SHAN-LEE
AN IDEA THAT BECAME A MOVEMENT
To Be More Human began with a quiet realization : life becomes richer when we learn how to truly be here — with ourselves , with our experiences , and with the moment in front of us. This platform was born from a desire to understand the human mind , the heart , and the unseen layers of our inner world — and to turn that understanding into something others could use to reclaim their clarity , their truth , and their becoming. What started as one person’s inward journey expanded into a space for anyone seeking alignment , emotional honesty , and deeper self-awareness. TBMH exists to help you meet yourself — with openness , depth , and presence.
THE HEART OF TBMH
A VISION SHAPED BY EXPERIENCE
To Be More Human grew out of real moments – moments of clarity, struggle, learning, and reorientation. Moments that asked me to understand myself more deeply. Moments that shaped me into a more present, grounded, and honest version of who I am today.
TBMH is guided by the same intention that began it : to create a space where people can meet themselves without judgement , reconnect with what feels true , and move through life with clarity and authenticity. Everything here is rooted in the belief that when we understand ourselves , we begin to understand our lives.
WHAT DEFINES US
HUMANITY
EVERYTHING BEGINS WITH WHO YOU ARE.
TBMH is build on the truth that every person carries depth , complexity , and a story worth understanding. We meet you as a human first – without judgment , without performance , without pretense.
PRESENCE
WE CREATE SPACE FOR YOU TO ARRIVE AS YOURSELF.
Presence is the heart of our work – the ability to hold stillness , listen deeply , and honor the moments that matter. It is where real clarity emerges.
TRUTH
WE HONOR HONESTY ABOVE PERFECTION.
Your inner truth – even the parts you have been avoiding carries the power to shift your entire life. In our work , truth is not something to fear ; it is something to reclaim.
REFLECTION
YOU DO NOT WALK THIS ALONE.
TBMH reflects you back to yourself – your patterns , your possibilities , and your potential. We hold the mirror with care , respect and precision.
ALIGNMENT
WHERE UNDERSTANDING BECOMES DIRECTION.
Alignment comes from reconnecting with your intuition , values , and inner compass. It is where choices become clearer and life begins to feel more natural.
DEPTH
WE GO BENEATH THE SURFACE.
TBMH is not quick advice. It is a deeper conversation – one that honors your inner world and allows transformation to unfold naturally.
EVOLUTION
BECOMING MORE HUMAN , ONE MOMENT AT A TIME.
Growth is not a destination – it is a relationship. With yourself , with your truth , and your becoming. TBMH exists to support that evolution.
THE HUMAN BEHIND
I BUILT TO BE MORE HUMAN FROM A SIMPLE KNOWING : LIFE IS MEANT FOR MORE THAN SURVIVING , PERFORMING , OR PRETENDING. THIS WORK DID NOT BEGIN AS A COMPANY - IT BEGAN AS AN AWAKENING. A BREAKING OPEN. A REMEMBERING OF WHO I AM AND WHO I CAME HERE TO BE.
My journey started long before this platform existed. I grew up navigating emotions larger than the space I had to express them. I learned what it meant to feel deeply , think intensely , and search for understanding in places that did not always offer it. Much of my growth came from turning inward — learning to meet my feelings with honesty , to make sense of my experiences , and to transform difficulty into awareness. These moments did not harden me. They shaped my ability to see beneath the surface and understand people in an intuitive , human way. With time , I realized that everything I had walked through was preparation. The challenges taught me how to listen. How to interpret emotion. How to communicate with honesty. How to show up for myself with presence. They taught me that being human is not about perfection — it is about awareness. And transformation begins when we finally stop running from ourselves.
To Be More Human was born from this truth : people are craving spaces where their feelings are acknowledged , where their stories matter , and where their humanity is met with respect , not judgment. Everything I create — the handbooks , the sessions , the writing , the direction of this platform — comes from a genuine desire to offer others the reflection and clarity I once had to build on my own. I believe in emotional honesty , self-awareness , and the courage required to evolve. My work exists because I care about people — their inner worlds , their breakthroughs , their struggles , and their growth. I care about helping others see themselves clearly , guiding them toward their truth , and supporting them in creating a life that feels aligned and intentional. This platform is not here to fix anyone. It is here to help people understand themselves more deeply than they have ever been supported to. I am here as a human first — shaped by experience , growth , and the honesty it required. Everything I have lived has taught me how to meet people with clarity and presence.
