exactly one spoonful of ice cream


This might be my one and only podcast episode that needs a trigger warning Reader... 😳

Because I'm sharing really openly about the most painful, long-lasting struggle of my life. My relationship with my body.

And if you signed up to learn calligraphy and are going, "huh???"... I promise it's all connected.

  • The reason I became a corporate lawyer was because I thought my career had to look a certain way.
  • The reason I struggled with dieting for so long was because I thought my body had to look a certain way.
  • The reason I was lost and unhappy for decades was because I thought my life had to look a certain way.

I'm happier and freer now, because I finally learned how to say FUCK IT and live a life that looks the way -I- want it to look.


🎧 Episode 101: My "B-" Body

This is more of a story-telling episode, so listen in to hear:

  • How growing up Korean-American in this jacked up culture led to seriously disordered eating patterns for most of my adult life
  • What happened when I finally did lose weight in my 20s… and how it didn’t bring me the peace I desperately wanted
  • How I finally embraced intuitive eating and fun-based exercise - by learning to trust all the parts of myself

Here’s the main lesson: You can never reach a LOVING final destination through self-HATRED.

It’s really HARD to confront your own self-criticism and face the stuff you most fear… and it’s SO SO WORTH IT. I promise.
