Plenty of Positivity with Courtney Beck welcomes Pauline Nguyen!

Today, Pauline is one of Australia’s most decorated entrepreneurs. As owner of Red Lantern - the most awarded Vietnamese restaurant in the world - she earned the Telstra Business Award and, in 2026 was named Global Transformational Leader of the Year.

She has also been named one of "200 Women Who Will Change the Way You See The World.” At three years old, Pauline escaped Vietnam by boat - nine days at sea, a year in a Thai refugee camp, and a beginning that would have broken most. She chose, instead to become the beneficiary of everything that happened to her.

Her memoir, Secrets of the Red Lantern, won international acclaim; her latest, The Way of the Spiritual Entrepreneur, continues to move readers worldwide. Combining the latest neuroscience with spirituality, travelling the world as an International Keynote Speaker and Executive Coach, she guides CEOs and founders into Conscious Leadership - rewiring their story from victim consciousness to creator consciousness, and learning to live life by design, not by default.

In this episode, Pauline shares her inspiring journey from escaping Vietnam as a refugee to building the most awarded Vietnamese restaurant in the world. She discusses the importance of inner mastery, emotional regulation, and spiritual growth for leadership and personal success.

Pauline was so incredibly kind to offer the Plenty of Positivity Community the ability to access her own 80 minute MasterClass on how to build a resilient nervous system. Please head over to Instagram and DM the word ACTION.
