Less than a year ago, Jisu Kim was working full-time at Trader Joe's. She had decided to not pursue medical school after graduating from USC's pre-med track because she knew her calling was meant elsewhere. After years of struggling with her relationship with family, food, and self, Jisu knew she had to transform her life.

In six months, her life completely changed. Her Instagram account grew to over a hundred thousand followers in less than three months, moved out of her family's place, quit her job at Trader Joe's, and officially became a full-time content creator. Jisu's giant leap of faith paved the way for her life's biggest breakthrough (yet).

To anyone feeling that their purpose is too late to be fulfilled, I hope this episode tells you otherwise. Enjoy. 🍸
