당신의 화는 진짜 문제가 아니다 — Why Your Anger Isn’t the Real Problem

In this episode, I sit down with Susie Runkle, a Korean American Christian life coach, daughter of the King, wife, and mother of two teenage daughters, for an honest conversation about healing, anger, resentment, and emotional freedom. Susie shares her personal journey of working through childhood wounds, shame, and suppressed emotions while learning how to “adult” with peace and self-awareness. We talk about faith, identity, family dynamics, emotional triggers, and what it means to break unhealthy cycles instead of passing them down. Through vulnerability and wisdom, Susie offers encouragement for anyone struggling with anger, resentment, or feeling stuck in old patterns. If you’ve ever felt weighed down by shame, emotional pain, or unresolved wounds, this conversation is for you.

Not Okay? Here’s What to Do 괞찮은척은 이젠 그만

When “I’m fine” stops being true, what’s the next step? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jang Cho, MD, a board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrist, to talk about how to recognize when you need help, what kind of support actually makes sense, and how to ask for it—even when it feels uncomfortable. We get into the gray areas: therapy vs. medication, what to do if cost is a barrier, and why so many people wait too long before reaching out. Dr. Cho also shares her perspective on cultural stigma and the unique challenges many Asian American families face when it comes to mental health. About the guest:Jang Cho, MD is a board certified child and adolescent psychiatrist. She received her medical degree from Georgetown University School of Medicine and completed her general psychiatry residency at Mount Sinai Beth Israel Hospital in New York City.  Afterwards, she continued her child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship at the Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, DC.  Dr. Cho’s passion is in cultural psychiatry, especially in mental health of Asian American children and adolescents.

What We Don’t Talk About: Sex, Shame, and Sunday Faith | 왠지 말하기 어려운 얘기들: 성, 수치심, 그리고 교회 이야기

왠지 말하기 어려운 얘기들: 성, 수치심, 그리고 신앙 What We Don’t Talk About: Sex, Shame, and Sunday Faith In this episode, we gently step into the conversations we tend to avoid—sex, shame, and faith. Topics that are deeply connected, yet often left unspoken. Roy, a licensed marriage and family therapist and former pastor, brings a unique perspective shaped by years of working with sexual addiction and betrayal trauma. He sees himself as a bridge between the Church, the addict, the betrayed partner, and the divorced—helping each side find the language to understand one another better. Together, we talk about how shame takes root, how faith can both support and complicate healing, and why these conversations feel so hard to have—especially in our communities. This isn’t about having all the answers, but about creating space for honesty, nuance, and real understanding. A thoughtful, human conversation about the things we don’t usually say out loud. About the guest: Roy is a licensed marriage and family therapist based in Southern California, specializing in sexual addiction treatment and betrayal trauma recovery. He is also a former pastor. He describes himself as a broker between the Church, the addict, the betrayed partner, and the divorced—helping all parties to find language to better understand one another. Roy hosts the SA Speakeasy podcast, The Same Boat podcast, and soon will co-host the On-Screen Kimistry podcast which discusses Asian American representation in film. Roy loves learning about compost, watching trashy reality shows with his wife Jenn, and dreaming with daughter Audrey about living in Europe.
