Hi, I’m Vicki

My name is Phung Bui, but you may call me “Vicki”. I am an Empowerment Coach with a deep passion for empowering unique individuals on their journey of self-discovery, growth, and transformation. I created Empower Your Uniqueness to provide a powerful space where people can be authentic and courageous to bring out and embrace their brilliance and potential. And consequently, they can fulfil their desired goal.

Born and raised in Australia to Vietnamese parents, I struggled with conflicting identities, lacked a sense of belonging and felt lost for much of my life. Having navigated my own journey through challenges such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, childhood sexual assault, the loss of my mother, low self-esteem, and suicidal thoughts. I lived in a constant state of uncertainty, questioning whether I could ever be happy with myself or my life. 

My journey to self-empowerment and healing wasn’t easy, but it was transformative. I learned that overcoming my challenges wasn’t about eradicating anxiety and depression, but learning to live with them, self-managing and being in control. With professional support, meaningful relationships, and a mindset shift, I took responsibility for my thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, which allowed me to break free from my limitations. I stepped beyond my comfort zone, developed courage, and learned to embrace change. Through self-love and setting healthy boundaries, I overcame adversity and discovered that true success is rooted in a strong mindset and continual growth. I deeply understand the courage and strength it takes to heal and grow.

These experiences have shaped my commitment to empowering others to reconnect with their true selves. I support individuals in becoming more assertive, intentional, and authentic—helping them design meaningful lives that truly reflect who they are and who they aspire to be.
