In this episode, I explore what it means to reclaim your fire (your drive, ambition, passion, intensity, and creative aliveness) without burning out.
We live in a world that once glorified hustle and now celebrates the “soft girl era,” where we are collectively learning to rest, slow down, and honor our bodies.
But as entrepreneurs and daughters of immigrants, it can feel confusing to know how to move at your natural pace.
Many of us learned to equate worth with hard work, then swung to the opposite extreme, afraid that intensity might pull us back into survival mode. Maybe you're not burning out now, but you feel financially capped and want to feel more alive.
What if your intensity is not the problem?
What if the key is learning to calibrate your rhythm, knowing when to sprint, when to rest, and how to honor both your fire and your nervous system?
In this episode, I share:
This episode is an invitation to reclaim your full spectrum. You can be soft and powerful, visionary and grounded, deep and playful, alive and at ease.
You can crave peace and still love the thrill of creation.
It is not about rejecting one side of yourself. It is about learning to trust your rhythm, honor your body, and let your brilliance move at its own pace.

In this episode of Embody Your Brilliance, I talk about what it means to protect your vision. Especially when you're in a season of transition, rebirth, or growth.
When a new idea lights you up, your first instinct might be to share it with everyone: your friends, your family, your partner, even the internet.
👉🏼 But not everyone has the capacity to hold your vision.
People experience your dreams through their own filters: their fears, conditioning, and lived experience. And sometimes, the people who love you the most may unknowingly project their own insecurities onto your next chapter.
In this episode, I explore:
Why some people don’t have the energetic or emotional capacity to hold your expansion, and that's okay
How to protect your vision without closing your heart
The difference between healthy support and overexposure
How to discern who to share your ideas with and curate your team accordingly
Your vision deserves to be nurtured in spaces where your fullest, most expansive self can feel safe to shine.

In this episode of Embody Your Brilliance, I talk about stability, safety, and redefining what security actually means. Especially as a daughter of immigrants and an entrepreneur.
I grew up hearing that stability came from hard work and a “safe” job: a prestigious college degree, a steady paycheck, and a recognizable company name.
But over time, and especially in 2025, we’re seeing how even those “stable” paths aren’t always stable.
Through my own journey of navigating corporate jobs, entrepreneurship, and nervous system healing, what I’ve learned this:
What’s familiar isn’t always what’s safe.
True safety comes from learning to have your own back. To trust your body, your decisions, and your ability to rebuild and thrive no matter what. Whether that involves a corporate job or not.
In this episode, I share:
Why our nervous systems confuse familiarity with safety
How daughters of immigrants can rewire their relationship to stability
The difference between internal vs. external safety
How to navigate seasons of uncertainty (like layoffs or business pivots) without losing trust in yourself
If you’ve ever felt torn between the comfort of “security” and the pull of your purpose, this episode will help you root back into your self-trust and redefine what stability means for you now.

I believe everyone has their own version of an unfair advantage.
Maybe it’s something that comes so naturally to you that you overlook it, or a strength you’ve discounted because it didn’t take effort.
Especially as daughters of immigrants or eldest daughters, we were taught that value comes from trying harder. From pushing, earning, and proving. But what if it’s meant to be easier than that?
In this episode, I share how I used to hide parts of myself (my business brain, my intensity, my ability to spot patterns and strategy everywhere), thinking they were “too much” for the healing space.
Once I stopped fighting those parts of me and embraced them as part of my existence, everything in my business began to click.
This episode is an invitation to stop fighting yourself and start embracing everything that makes you who you are: your lived experiences, passions, strengths, quirks, and the things that feel too easy. They’re not random. They’re your roadmap.

In this episode, I’m sharing a replay of a beautiful fireside chat I had with my friend, Yoo-Jin Kang (a trauma-informed consultant, astrologer, and founder of Eldest Daughters Collective).
We had an honest, unfiltered conversation about what it really looks like to come home to your body, your voice, and your purpose, especially as eldest daughters and daughters of immigrants.
We talk about how to listen to your body and intuition in a world full of noise and expectations, and what it means to align your life and business in a way that truly reflects you.
We explore:
This episode is a heartfelt, expansive conversation about becoming who you already are. Beyond the roles, expectations, and survival patterns we inherited.

In this week’s episode of Embody Your Brilliance, I’m talking about prioritization.
The reality is: if you’re prioritizing everything, you’re not actually prioritizing anything. 👀
As a multi-talented, multi-passionate eldest daughter of immigrants, I know how tempting it is to say yes to every brilliant idea, every opportunity, every role you could fill.
But just because you can do something really well, doesn’t mean it should be your priority right now.
We explore:
Why saying yes to “75% yes” opportunities drains your energy for the real 100% yes
The cost of spinning your wheels, overcommitting, and burning out
How to identify your glass balls (what can’t be dropped) and rubber balls (what can bounce for now)
Why leaving certain things broken is not a failure, but a sign of strategic focus
How knowing your seasonal priority brings ease, clarity, and growth
If you’ve been juggling too much, drowning in to-do items, feeling stuck, or unsure what to focus on first, this episode will help you take the first steps to discern what truly matters in this season, and give yourself permission to intentionally say no to even things you're amazing at.
And if you’re ready to feel more clear on your plan and next steps and take bold aligned action to grow a peaceful, profitable business without burning out...

In this week’s episode of Embody Your Brilliance, I share why waiting for perfect clarity before taking action often keeps us stuck, and how clarity can actually come through action.
As an eldest daughter of immigrants and recovering perfectionist, I intimately know the frustration of wanting everything mapped out before making a move.
The truth is, our nervous system and survival part of us will always scan for risk.
🗝️ The key is learning how to work with it so you can take aligned steps forward even when you do not feel 100% certain.
I take you behind the scenes of my own journey: from circling in indecision during pregnancy to finally hitting “send” on my newsletter after a year away, booking clients in a new direction, and discovering how action itself creates clarity.
We explore:
Why “thinking harder” rarely brings clarity (and what does)
The nervous system’s role in overthinking, freezing, and waiting for the “perfect” step
Practical ways to take micro actions that de-risk the next move
How coaching, support, and co-regulation create safety for bolder action
Why self-trust (having your own back, no matter what) is the real game-changer
If you’re sitting in that “I want to make moves, but I don’t feel clear yet” season, this episode is for you.
And if you’re ready to stop circling in indecision, take aligned action in your business and want to feel more clear on your plan and next steps, to grow a peaceful, profitable business with more ease...

This week, I’m sharing an episode I was featured on from my friend and brand photographer/videographer Camila's podcast Speak Your Truth and Look Good Doing It.
In the episode, I open up about beauty, belonging, and what it really takes to feel safe being fully seen, on camera and in business.
We talk about shifting from performing a version of myself to embodying my essence, letting all my parts (coach, mother, strategist, artist, and more) show up, and why visibility lands differently for daughters of immigrants.
Somatics 101 for entrepreneurs: What “body-based” really means, and why your nervous system is the real bottleneck (or breakthrough) for growth
Parts work for visibility: How inviting the “Relaxed, confident mother,” the “Noona” strategist, and the inner artist into specific roles in my business has made my brand feel richer and more whole
From performing to embodying: Creating images and videos that mirror your essence (not a palatable version of you)
Safety ≠ mindset only: The power of somatic, culturally-attuned support for daughters of immigrants & women of color
Ancestral healing and being perceived: Why standing out can trigger survival responses, and how to validate, resource, and make moves when that happens
Practical visibility moves: Ways to contain and scale visibility, build evidence your body can trust
And if you’re ready to become more visible as your whole, integrated self without burning out, and grow a peaceful, profitable business you love with relaxed confidence,

In this episode of Embody Your Brilliance, I share why creative expression is a core value in my life and business. It’s not a luxury or a nice-to-have, it’s a non-negotiable.
After nearly two years away, I returned to traditional Korean dance and felt that familiar surge of creative life force moving through my body.
I talk about what this practice means to me as a Korean American eldest daughter of immigrants—and how prioritizing my creative expression actually regulates my nervous system, fuels my business, and helps me feel more alive.
We explore:
The backstory: my love for ballet when I was younger, quitting on a “bad day,” and why I’m reclaiming dance now
Traditional Korean dance as ancestral remembrance and somatic practice
Why creativity sustains momentum (and why “I don’t have time” isn’t the full truth)
Shifting creativity from “luxury” to a calendar-backed priority
How stage performance translates to visibility, presence, and speaking in business
✨ This is an invitation to reconnect with your creatorship energy and let it support you as both a human and an entrepreneur. Because when your body and spirit are resourced, everything you’re building gets better.
🎧 I’d love to know how this episode resonates with you. What are your top values this season, and which ones are you treating as optional?
And if you’re ready to embody your unique brilliance, share your creative voice in a bigger way, and grow a thriving, profitable, values-aligned business that reflects who you truly are (without overthinking, overworking, or burning out),

This week, I’m sharing a replay of a LinkedIn Live conversation I had earlier this year with my friend Betty Chan, authenticity life coach, where we explored the theme of reintegration.
Inspired by the TV show Severance, we talked about how many of us learn to “sever” different parts of ourselves to fit into roles or expectations. But over time, those hidden parts come knocking again.
In this conversation we dive into:
This episode is for you if you’ve ever felt fragmented, “too much” in one space or “not enough” in another. Our hope is that it gives you permission to embrace your undiluted self...and to find new energy, alignment, and ease when all of you is welcome.

Spoiler alert: It’s not just about confidence and "just doing it." It’s also about survival, cultural nuance, and nervous system regulation.
Drawing from my own story and the patterns I see among the daughters of immigrants I've supported, I explore why showing up online, sending that email, launching that offer, raising your rates, or sharing your creative work can feel so vulnerable—and what it actually takes to feel safe being seen.
