SURPRISE! After almost three continuous years in Korea, I'm back to spend Christmas with my family and friends in Tennessee. And wow, it's already been a wild ride. From dueling taxi drivers to re-learning the art a small talk, feeling like an alien in my hometown and everything in-between -- on this episode I tell the story of my journey from Seoul to Cleveland and how "home" has changed for me. Thank you for listening!

It's not difficult to see why Seoul is often considered the beauty capital of the world. There is a very specific beauty standard here -- and it's a standard that I don't fit. But, do I even have to? 

In today's episode I'm telling the stories behind the beauty standards: 

- What it was like growing up in a highly competitive environment

- Ways comparison scripts our self-talk 

- How competition robs us of meaningful connection

We'll also talk about some practical steps to take in re-wiring these thoughts and ultimately, creating your own standard. Thanks for joining!

We’re starting off with a spicy one! In today’s story I talk about the [kinda dramatic] way I started my life in Seoul, toxic work cultures, relationships, and what I’ve learned from my own deep loneliness.
