What happens when your career—your identity, your income, your belonging—suddenly disappears?

In this intimate episode, Michelle MiJung Kim opens up about the collapse of her career after she chose to speak out about Palestine. One day she was a sought-after speaker and celebrated DEI leader. The next, her calendar was empty. The applause stopped. The invitations vanished. And she was left asking: Was any of it ever real?

Together with somatic coach and author Kelsey Blackwell, Michelle explores the painful unraveling of ambition, the burnout of performance, and the quiet grief of no longer wanting the life she once worked so hard to build.

This episode is a love letter to anyone who’s been let go, shut out, or burned out. Anyone who has lost a version of themselves. And anyone trying to find out who they are when the titles fall away.

If you are also longing to live a purposeful life in alignment with your values, this episode is for you.
