Marilyn Choong is a Singapore-born author and seasoned marketer with a deep passion for storytelling. She began writing articles on gratitude, mindfulness, happiness, and resilience years ago, and her journey as an author deepened after a life-changing spiritual awakening following her mother’s passing, an experience that reshaped her understanding of grief and the enduring bonds beyond the physical world.
Her book, The Thin Veil Between Us (published July 2024), became a #1 Straits Times bestseller and reached #1 on Amazon Singapore in Mental & Spiritual Healing, Complementary Medicine, and Hot New Releases. She has been featured in The Straits Times and on live radio in Singapore, where she shared the story and insights behind her bestselling book.
