  • 15. Why Do We Love Sports So Much?

    The World Cup has been hard to ignore lately, even for someone like me who hasn't been watching every match live. In this episode, I talk about following the tournament through social media, seeing score updates from friends, and how a single moment can spark an interest in a sport you've never paid attention to before.

    A casual conversation about the World Cup, sports culture, and what keeps us coming back to watch year after year. ⚽🎙️

  • 13. February Already? Thoughts on Time, Travel, and Weddings

    February is already here, and I find myself thinking about how strangely time moves.
    January feels both close and far away at the same time.

    In this episode, I talk about choosing our next travel destination, heading back to Fukuoka for a friend’s wedding, and my thoughts on weddings, priorities, and what really matters.

    Just a quiet, honest reflection on everyday life and how we experience time.

  • 12. Choosing Our Next Destination

    In this episode, I talk about a recent conversation my husband and I had about traveling this year.
    We revisit places we loved, like Dubai, talk about why Saudi Arabia caught our curiosity, and share a childhood dream of visiting Australia.
    I also share how we ended up considering Riyadh, the timing behind the trip, and my thoughts on traveling respectfully and learning about new cultures.
    A quiet, personal reflection on travel, curiosity, and choosing where to go next.

  • 10. A Slower New Year in the U.S.

    In this episode, I share how I spent the year-end and New Year holidays from the end of 2025 to the beginning of 2026.
    It was my second time visiting the U.S. to see my husband’s family, and the experience felt completely different from my first visit two years ago.

    Back then, everything felt new and overwhelming, and the trip was more about traveling than family time.
    This time, though, I found myself slowing down — staying home, spending quiet time with family, and feeling more relaxed and connected than before.

    It reminded me that sometimes, doing less and simply being with family can be the most meaningful way to spend the holidays.

  • 9. Career Thoughts, Big Changes, and the End of 2025

    In this episode, I continue my 2025 recap by talking about the new job I started this year. I reflect on why I decided to leave my previous company, what I learned from job hunting, and how I ended up at a much smaller but fast-growing company. A calm, honest end-of-the-year conversation about work, stress, and choosing what feels right.

  • 8. End of the Year Recap (Part 2): A Family Trip to Korea

    This episode continues my 2025 recap. I talk about a family trip to Seoul with my mom and teenage sister — the fun moments, the emotional ones, and what it made me realize about growing up and family dynamics. From amazing Korean food to stylish cafés and small reflections on life, this is another relaxed and honest catch-up episode.

  • 7. Random Thoughts, Calendars, and a Year in Review

    In this episode, I start with a random question — who decided that a year has 365 days, and why December is the last month? That curiosity turns into a short journey through ancient calendars, from Egypt to Rome.

    Then, I slowly drift into a recap of my 2025 so far: changing jobs, saying goodbye to a great team, and taking a memorable trip to Dubai with my husband — including an unforgettable (and slightly embarrassing) airport moment.

    A relaxed, honest, and slightly rambling end-of-the-year talk. Thanks for listening.
