In this episode, I sit down with one of my closest friends Stephanie Kim, also known as @tressuni, to explore a word that holds profound cultural weight in Korean: 'waste'—아까워. Together, we unpack how this word shaped our values growing up, from how we viewed opportunities and material things to the hidden pressure it can create in our daily lives and careers.
Join us as we share personal stories, reflect on how this concept still affects us today, and discuss ways we’re learning to reframe and find balance in a fast-paced world. Whether you’re familiar with this cultural layer or discovering it for the first time, we hope this conversation sheds light on the deep impact of seemingly simple words.
