| Mommy Diary ®

who knew I’d be back sitting next to my father in my 40s?
my recent trip to Korea was a journey back home—the place that birthed me, taught me my mother tongue. It reminded me that I was never truly alone, no matter how isolated I felt through motherhood, divorce and the deep, often painful journey of awakening.
no one tells you this, but every woman reaches a point—in her 30s, 40s, or 50s, depending on life’s path—where the universe looks her in the eye and asks: Are you going to stay the same, or will you rise into your next chapter?
Whatever that next chapter looks like, I hope you take the leap into your highest timeline. 👑❤️

📍3 places to visit in Busan, Korea
This was our second time visiting Busan and we enjoyed it so much more. I’m still recovering from 3 weeks of solo parenting in Korea 🫠 but Busan is a beautiful seaside city to visit with or without kids. Will definitely be back!

It’s been less than a week since we arrived, yet it already feels like home — as if my body remembers what my mind forgets.
now more than ever, I’m proud of my ability to switch back and forth between two languages, to be able to call both places home.
I love you 🇰🇷 miss you LA ❤️
