Daughters of immigrants entrepreneurs need more than business strategy, and this episode will show you why.

❤️‍🩹 This is for you if you've ever felt like the strong one, the one who always figured it out, or the one who never fell apart. Today, I'm sharing an episode I was featured on from Mariela De La Mora's podcast Cycle Breakers & Money Makers.

In this episode, we talk about:

• How Korean collectivist culture shaped my identity and instincts
• Why emotional repression was tied to safety in my family—and how I'm unlearning that
• The moment I realized “softness” was my next edge
• What it actually means to regulate your nervous system enough to hold a vision

• Why strategy is never enough for the daughters of immigrants
• How I'm supporting daughters of immigrants by bridging nervous system safety and business strategy, so they can thrive in entrepreneurship and life

What happens when your dream business...isn’t quite what your family had in mind?

In this episode, I share the very real tension many daughters of immigrants face when building a creative business that doesn't align with their family's vision of safety and success.

If you’ve ever felt like your entrepreneurial path made your loved ones nervous, this episode is for you.

We talk about:

• Navigating reactions from your family when you choose a unconventional career path
• How to move forward even if they don’t fully understand your vision
• What it means to stop outsourcing your self-trust (even to people who love you)
• How to build a nourishing version of success rooted in your values, not performance, all while feeling supported and grounded

If you’re craving both somatic and strategic support to help you grow your creative business that you *love* without burning out,

In this episode, I’m talking to the high-achieving daughters of immigrants, visionary creatives, and entrepreneurs, who know they’re meant for something more…but feel overwhelmed by the gap between where they are and where they want to be.

We’ll explore:

• • Why being high-potential and high-capacity can actually make progress feel harder
  • The power of micro wins (and why you’re not sacrificing your ambition by breaking down your goals)
  • How to navigate the “in-between” seasons of self-doubt, pivots, and creative block
  • What it actually takes to sustain belief in your vision without burning out

• 
  

• Want deep, personalized support to bring your vision to life, without the overwhelm and the burnout?

• In this episode, I share about:

  • Why doubt is a normal part of the creative process (and what to do when it hits)
  • Refusing to shrink your vision to fit what others expect
  • How to build unshakeable self-trust
  • The truth about visibility work when you come from an immigrant or diaspora background

In this episode of Embody Your Brilliance, I’m diving into all things KPop Demon Hunters, a Netflix animated film that surprised me by how deeply it resonated with me.

It reminded me of the deep visibility work I do with daughters of immigrants, creatives, and entrepreneurs—especially when navigating the push-pull between hiding and shining.

This is for anyone who’s ever:

• Wanted to be seen and also desperately wanted to hide
• Felt like parts of them were “too much” or “not enough”
• Been told (explicitly or not) to keep their fears and flaws hidden
• Tried to succeed while a part of them was actively shrinking

I explore:

• How KPop Demon Hunters mirrors the work of cultivating inner safety to be more visible
• What Rumi’s demon marks reveal about shame, protection, and generational patterns
• Why hiding is not passive
• How full integration (not perfection) creates magnetic presence
• My own visibility journey as I relaunch this podcast and share my voice in a bigger way

Join my upcoming Free Somatic Workshop!

Safe to Shine: Unblock Your Visibility. August 7 at 11am PT. For daughters of immigrants & women of color entrepreneurs and creatives.

In this episode, I unpack the deeper layers behind visibility blocks for daughters of immigrants and creative entrepreneurs.

Spoiler alert: It’s not just about confidence and "just doing it." It’s also about survival, cultural nuance, and nervous system regulation.

Drawing from my own story and the patterns I see among the daughters of immigrants I've supported, I explore why showing up online, sending that email, launching that offer, raising your rates, or sharing your creative work can feel so vulnerable—and what it actually takes to feel safe being seen.

We’ll explore:

• Why visibility is about safety, not just confidence or “just doing it”
• How cultural conditioning, like nunchi in Korean culture, wires us to track others’ comfort instead of honoring our own voice
• What your fear of being “too much” is really trying to protect
• How to honor your cultural and ancestral values without staying small
• Somatic strategies for growing your visibility in ways that feel resourced, not forced
