What does it mean
to live a life that is truly yours?

In Choices, Ivlynn Yap offers a soul-baring invitation into her life as she navigates the complex roles of daughter, mother, wife, and leader. Through raw journal entries, poetic reflections, and deeply personal stories, she traces the messy, essential moments where she was forced to choose between expectation and her authentic self. From the confines of a traditional upbringing to finding her voice for ethical leadership, this memoir is an honest, empowering conversation about heartbreak, chaos, and rediscovering purpose. Choices is a powerful reminder that every woman has the right to choose herself - and it is never too late to start.

Reviews

​Highly recommended. Very readable, inspiring and authentic. We see the real Ivlynn.
- Peter Lam

Some stories are written to entertain, but Choices was written to be felt. In penning this book, you didn’t just tell a story, you offered a piece of your courage, your honesty, and your lived truths. Every page carries quiet strength, vulnerability, and reflection, ( thus Note to self) inviting readers to pause and see themselves in the Choices, doubts, and hopes you so generously shared.

As I read, it reminded me of my own journey of falling flat not once, but twice in my career, and rising each time even faster & climbed higher than before. Your words gave language to resilience, to the silent resolve that comes after failure, and to the strength we often discover only when we have no choice but to stand again.

Many pages I had tears in my eyes. I could relate as I had experienced similar situations.

There is no perfect life but I totally agree with you that we have the right to choose ourselves over everyone and everything

- Shobana Kamalanathan

Your life story is truly inspiring. May your journey and your storytelling continue to spark many more Ivylnns — bold, courageous, enterprising, and unapologetically driven to create their own paths.
- Pradeep Kumar

I believe this will help so many people. Will be sharing a copy with my sister as she had similar experiences and is still struggling to choose herself. My favourite line: Healing came in whispers, not declarations. Thank you for reinforcing that choosing yourself is a conscious decision and makes us better people for those who love us. I hope the book continues to do exceeding well because it deserves to reach all women and men who give with no boundaries.
