    Who Am I Without My Job?

    What happens when your career—your identity, your income, your belonging—suddenly disappears? In this intimate episode, Michelle MiJung Kim opens up about the collapse of her career after she chose to speak out about Palestine. One day she was a sought-after speaker and celebrated DEI leader. The next, her calendar was empty. The applause stopped. The invitations vanished. And she was left asking: Was any of it ever real? Together with somatic coach and author Kelsey Blackwell, Michelle explores the painful unraveling of ambition, the burnout of performance, and the quiet grief of no longer wanting the life she once worked so hard to build. This episode is a love letter to anyone who’s been let go, shut out, or burned out. Anyone who has lost a version of themselves. And anyone trying to find out who they are when the titles fall away. If you are also longing to live a purposeful life in alignment with your values, this episode is for you.

    Was I His Love Or Fetish?

    Let’s talk about the question that makes everyone squirm: “Why are so many Asian women with white men?” In this raw and nuanced episode, Michelle MiJung Kim sits down with her longtime friend Christine (a Chinese American woman married to a white man) to unpack the tangled web of desire, race, loneliness, and belonging in interracial relationships—specifically those between Asian women and white men. From TikTok comment wars and the infamous "Oxford Study" to lived experiences of love, shame, fetishization, and survival, no stone is left unturned. With radical honesty, Michelle shares her own dating history with white men and the uncomfortable questions it forced her to face: “Am I internalizing racism through who I date?” “Is love ever just love in a world shaped by white supremacy?” “And what does it mean to feel seen, held, and understood in an interracial relationship?” This episode holds space for all the complexities—without flattening anyone’s experience. Whether you’ve been in these relationships, judged them, or questioned your own desires, this conversation invites you to look inward with curiosity and compassion.

    Am I A Bad Daughter?

    “How do I love my family without sacrificing me?” In this deeply personal episode, Michelle MiJung Kim unpacks the complicated layers of love, sacrifice, guilt, and resentment within immigrant families. From financial support to emotional labor, Michelle reflects on the invisible expectations placed on her, often at the expense of her own desires and needs. Featuring renowned therapist and Brown Girl Therapy founder Sahaj Kaur Kohli, this episode explores how concepts like filial piety, enmeshment, and parentification shape our understanding of love—and the emotional toll of setting boundaries when silence has always been the language of care. If you’ve ever wondered: “Am I selfish for wanting to live my own life?” “How do I love my parents without losing myself?” “Can I heal without their acknowledgment?” …you’re not alone. This episode is for you. Whether you're navigating intergenerational trauma, redefining your relationship with your parents, or learning to center your own needs for the first time—this conversation will meet you where you are.
