🌻A Day in the Life Ep 7: Not Everyone Fits the Box – And That’s Why I Built This

This is a presence podcast, a space for exhaling.

TL;DL (Too long, didn’t listen)

Hey y’all,
We’ve made it to Day 3 of this little challenge series—thank you so much for walking with me! 🄳🄳

This is part of the Mini Truth or Dare Challenge, created by Simone Grace Seol, which dares entrepreneurs like me to take up more space with our work and our offers, even when it feels uncomfortable.

So today, I want to close this mini journey with a why.

  • Why I do this work.

  • Why I believe I’m uniquely built to guide others through chaotic transitions.

  • And why it matters so deeply to me.

My why

I’ve always been someone who felt things deeply.
Someone who couldn’t fake it, who couldn’t perform professionalism just to survive a toxic job.
Someone who was always asking: Is this it? Is this really what work is supposed to feel like?

I’m also someone who’s navigated many, many pivots.
I’ve worked in different industries, jumped from contract to contract, built my business from scratch—and all while carrying the invisible load of being a first-gen daughter of immigrants, moving between worlds, trying to make sense of systems that were never designed for people like me to thrive.

Why me

I’ve learned how to:

  • Trust my voice, even when it shakes.

  • Build rhythms that support my energy instead of burning me out.

  • Design a work life that holds space for grief, softness, creativity, and strategy.

  • Say ā€œyesā€ to career paths that don’t fit cleanly on a resume—but are aligned with who I’m becoming.

And now, I help others do the same. šŸ¤—šŸ¤—
