About this listen
Summary:
What happens when your biggest critic is you? In this raw and reflective conversation, Selyn Hong shares the messy, defining moments that pushed her from law to HR, from obligation to intention. We talk about the moment she dropped out of college to reconnect with her estranged father, how she redefined what it means to “play it safe,” and why fear can actually be a compass. This episode is about transformation—from compliance to courage.
