It’s Episode 7 of Seoulful Sisters!

I’m beyond excited to be joined by Summer Lee—a journalist, chef, restaurant owner, sommelier, and food event MC. Wearing many hats with grace, Summer opens up about the exhilarating and fulfilling aspects of her career, while also sharing some of the inevitable challenges she faces along the way.

I don’t know about you, but I couldn’t stop imagining, smelling, and tasting her vibrant gimbap creations and globe-trotting culinary adventures. Summer reminds us that food is so much more than what’s on the plate—it’s a cultural bridge, an eye-opener, and a powerful lens for both self-discovery and deeper understanding of diverse identities.

Stay tuned for episode 8 coming out very soon!

Today, I’m joined by Kim Jin-Hee, the founder and director of the Baliness Method in South Korea. Baliness is not your typical massage or physiotherapy—it’s a philosophy, a lifestyle, and a path to deep healing and restoration.

By using the feet instead of hands to deliver rhythmic vibrations to the body, Kim Jin-Hee has pioneered a unique and intuitive method for releasing tension in muscles and connective tissue. In our brief yet insightful conversation, she shares the physical and emotional benefits of both practicing and receiving Baliness—whether as an instructor, a patient, or even among friends and family. Most of all, she highlights the comfort, trust, and relaxation that lie at the heart of this deeply human practice.

Stay tuned for another episode coming out this weekend! Thank you for all your support:)

Thank you to all for being patient with this episode!

In today's conversation, I'm joined by Cho Eul-Ah, a psychiatrist from Seongnam Medical Center, who shares insights on the importance of teenage mental health. Adolescence is by far the most formative years in life, making it critical to address the various psychological needs of the youth. Left untreated, even seemingly innocuous mental issues can rapidly deteriorate into severe, long-term consequences. 

Though some may see mental health issues as symbols of weakness and unworthiness, Ms.Cho paints them as natural and inevitable biological side effects. At some point, we all will experience mental struggles, and that's not just normal - it means you're striving to live the fullest life possible. 

Ms.Cho reminds us to never be afraid to reach out for help. There's nothing humiliating about prioritize taking care of your mental state; in the end, your brain is what makes you, you. 

Stay tuned for the next episode coming in less than a week! Thank you to Ms.Cho for her time and words of wisdom:)

It's been one of the hottest weeks all summer, not just here in Seoul, South Korea, but around the world. What better way to refresh ourselves with a cleansing talk with the CEO of "Edit Me," a working mom running a smoothie business producing innovative, mouth-watering, gut-healthy juices. Mrs. Yu Kyeong-Nam has provided us with invaluable everyday tips - like taking Edit Me's smoothies each morning -  to maintaining optimal gut-health and preventing severe diseases. Spoiler alert: nothing beats a balanced, nutritious diet. Remember what our P.E. teachers said? "Eat the Rainbow!" If consuming enough veggies and fruits is hard for you, maybe Edit Me will help you out:) 

Until later, stay seoul-ful!
