    This week, Yuna E. shares how she came to terms with her Korean, Nepalese, and American identity. Growing up in Virginia, Yuna spent every summer visiting family before moving to her father's country as a young adult, where she faced criticism for her lack of fluency in her "mother tongue." Later, she moved to Nepal to care for her grandfather's first wife but chaffed under societal expectations. Finally, Yuna embraced change once more and moved to Costa Rica...with her dog. Listen in to discover what Yuna has learned about navigating family obligations and how to find freedom in your own identity. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
