Welcome! Vicki and Hachi is a compassionate community of inspiration and action for women who want to ignite their passions, channel their purpose, and make an impact. 

Inspired by the historic story of Japan’s “most loyal dog,” Hachiko, and our founder Vicki Wong’s beloved canine companion, Hachi, we create a safe space where tender-hearted seekers can create lives illuminated by the dogs’ spirit of loyalty, love, and authentic connection.

We believe that genuine fulfillment comes from an imperfect yet intentional life grounded by a core purpose.

This blog exists to inspire you to proactively design a life that expresses your unique personality and embraces your deeply-felt passions, so you can honor your authentic essence and make a real difference in your world.

With guidance, connection, and community, you can ignite your life’s possibilities and leave your legendary legacy, claiming your space in this big and beautiful world.

Your story matters,
