Hey guys, my name is John Kim. I'm a licensed therapist and life coach putting

self betterment into a shot class because let's face it who's got that much time

these days. I come unpolished, unrehearsed, on purpose.

If you're looking for more of a wine glass, you've come to the wrong place.

Also I want to mention some big news. Journey is now affiliated with

Wonder Lust. We're the only life coaching company to partner with them and myself
