How to be happily alone

"Your success in life higly depends on how wisely you spend your time alone"
What my coworker said to me on the other day clicked my head and it made me look back to myself in the past where I couldn't find happiness and stability in myself. I was constantly looking for someone to be around me, listens to me talking, to support me even tho I knew they weren't worth of my time and effort. I've worked on myself to be 'happily alone' since then, and honestly I'm still working on it and it's still hard. But now I'm finding myself to gradually improve and getting more support and love from myself not the others. 
In this episode, I've shared with my personal experience of coping lonliness, finding way to wisely spend my time alone. At the end, all I want is that I want to be someone who chooses me, who always prioritise myself. But of course, not in the selfish way.
 
Thank you so much for listening again! Hope we can see you soon too :D

My journey of failures and what I’ve learned from those failures

Since I've been reading 'The Let them Theory' by Mel robbins, I just loved her authenticity being honest about her past self. Being a bad parent, jealous friend, annoying wife not being able to be consistent and procrastinates. So that motivated me to reveal about my failures and mitakes in my life. But while I was talking today, I realised those failures lead to my life, myself right now which I'm very proud of.
They were my teachers to make me more improve, motivate me to work on myself. Exposing such failures and mistakes in my life in public is frankly embrassing, but I felt absolutely liberating and content while recording because now I know that I've never gave up or quit on myself. This episode consists of very personal anecdotes but I hope it'll make you feel better about your failures and mistakes in your life as well. 
Again, thank you so much for listening!

Things used to be important but not anymore

One of the most shocking experiences of aging is that you DO change. The way you think, the way you used to think about that person, that circumsatances... also, things that you thought it is important. In this episode, I shared with my past obsessions the things that I used to believe is important but not anymore.
Looks, Friends, Unnecessary worries about the future, job titles... And now, I wonder about what myself, 10 years from now on, will think about the things that NOW I think it's important. 
 
Thank you for listening! 

Korean work ethic: Are we really working too much?

Since I becamse a full time job worker, I couldn't stop questioning about Korean work ethic and how Korean ppl are handling jobs, working style in general.
And while I was talking to my several international friends, Koreans seem to have very little holidays, less generosity when it comes to individual's life/health conditions, having to work till late time became common sense in some industry... etc
So I wanted to share my experience and thoughts about this topic with you. Hope you've enjoyed! Thanks for listening again :D

Being an Islander

Born and raised in Jeju Isalnd, been living in the UK 2 yrs, 1 yr in Japan... Most of my life was in an Island. 
My foundamental indentity, personality is mostly came from my identity as 'Jeju person' even more than South Korean.
For me, I can't imagine what kind of person would I turn out if I hadn't lived in Islands. 
In this episode, I talk about my life was an Islander, how I started my own podcast, and just a little bit about my life in general :)
