  • Unraveled Abroad: The Journey to Self with Sun

    In this episode with Sun, we explore:

    👉 Growing up in Germany, thriving as a "good girl," and what changed when she was uprooted to Texas at 17

    👉 The struggle to belong: feeling lost between cultures, struggling to make friends, and turning to academics for a sense of control

    👉 How adventures in South Africa and Spain cracked open her relationship with food — and revealed the joy of living without shame

    👉 The art of actually enjoying the healing process (and why it’s way less linear than Instagram would have you think)

    👉 Reinventing herself with every move, breaking free from old conditioning, and the surprising liberation of starting over

    👉 The “aha” moment: why the structure of corporate life never fit, and how it led her to discover her own Ikigai (reason for bein)

    👉 The power of Human Design, how our energies really are different, and why learning to trust your own truth changes everything
