What if loneliness isn't something to fix, but something to listen to?
On this episode, Haesue sits down with Case Kenny, writer and podcast host of New Mindset, Who Dis? to unpack what loneliness really teaches us when we stop running from it. Case opens up about the profound disconnection he felt climbing the corporate ladder in his twenties—succeeding on paper but feeling emotionally cut off from himself and others. He shares how he learned to reframe loneliness as a compass rather than a character flaw, the power of changing his inner dialogue from harsh judgment to gentle guidance, and why the male loneliness epidemic starts with men asking deeper questions of each other.
Haesue is then joined by Monica Jung, founder of The Oneliness Project, for a grounded conversation about loneliness as both a personal and structural challenge. From how our cities and technology create disconnection, to simple practices for moving through difficult emotions without becoming consumed by them, this episode offers compassionate guidance for anyone learning to sit with discomfort—and discovering that sometimes the path back to others starts with learning to be comfortable with yourself.

Grief is universal—but it rarely feels that way when you’re in it.
On this episode, Haesue sits down with writer and podcaster Misty Stinnett to unpack what grief really looks like: messy, unpredictable, and often very lonely. Misty shares the story of losing her father suddenly in her twenties, and the very different experience of losing her aunt years later, a loss that came with time to say goodbye. Along the way, she opens up about somatic therapy, the pressure to “perform” progress, and why grief sometimes teaches us how to love harder.
Haesue is then joined by therapist Dr. Sreela Roy-Greene for a grounded, practical conversation about navigating grief in everyday life. From how to handle grief at work, to simple somatic exercises you can try at home, this episode offers compassionate guidance for anyone who’s struggling—or supporting someone who is.

We’ve all had that inner voice that sometimes says, “You don’t belong here.” That’s imposter syndrome, and there’s more to it than you might think.
In this episode, host and therapist Haesue Jo talks with Peabody and Emmy Award-winning journalist Jane Marie about what it’s like to carry self-doubt, even with a long list of accomplishments. The conversation takes a surprising turn as Jane and Haesue discover how Jane’s childhood has shaped her inner critic—and how therapy and motherhood are helping her soften it.
Later, Haesue is joined by Dr. Valerie Young, a leading expert on imposter syndrome, to unpack where these feelings come from and what we can actually do about them. From personal stories to practical advice (did you know that the answer to imposter syndrome is not more success?), we’re exploring how identity, perfectionism, and belonging all play a role in imposter syndrome. Whether you’ve ever questioned your own success or felt like the odd one out—this episode’s for you.
