Graduation is just around the corner for many college students. In our previous normal, there'd be the standard nerves about what to do in the immediate future, anxiety about making career moves, attempting financial independence, figuring out what dating even means -_-, & wondering about big things down the line like marriage/family/location. But Toto/darlings, we are not in Kansas anymore. To say that we find ourselves in a new normal is the understatement of the century. And yet it's important to realize that this generation-defining moment is an epic challenge that can & will be overcome. In this episode, Minji sits down with Da Eun Kim, a young software developer turned filmmaker & co-host of bamboo & glass podcast, to share tough lessons learns while navigating her 20's. Everything from toxic boyfriends, identity crises, career risks, messy priorities, sociopolitical challenges, & questionable guidance from elders. Becoming an adult has never easy. Especially in this present moment, we hope these shared stories, questions, & strategies will help us all rise out of the chaos with a sense of purpose, humor, & above all, hope.
