It feels like it’s getting harder and harder to make new friends—and keep old ones—as our values shift and priorities change. In this era of political and cultural polarization, can we actually be friends if we disagree politically? What if we embody our values differently? Where’s the line between judging someone for being different and honoring our own integrity?
In a world where harm feels constant and outrage comes easy, what does it mean to seek justice without punishment? What does healing look like when the tools we’ve been given—police, prisons, shame, and exile—feel both unsatisfying and deeply entrenched?
Can you be in a loving, committed relationship and still want… more?
Join as Michelle MiJung Kim takes us on a wild ride through her first open relationship experience—complete with thirst traps, identity crisis, communication breakdowns, and more spiraling than she cares to admit. What began as an exploration of freedom quickly turned into a crash course in boundaries, grief, and brutal self-awareness.
If you’ve ever wondered: “Am I selfish for wanting to live my own life?” “How do I love my parents without losing myself?” “Can I heal without their acknowledgment?” …you’re not alone. This episode is for you.
“Am I internalizing racism through who I date?” “Is love ever just love in a world shaped by white supremacy?” “And what does it mean to feel seen, held, and understood in an interracial relationship?”
This episode holds space for all the complexities—without flattening anyone’s experience.
What happens when your career—your identity, your income, your belonging—suddenly disappears?
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.
