From SGI USA, I'm Cassidy Bradford and this is Budability, the weekly series where I talk with Buddhists from all walks of life about the power we each have to change our lives and the world around us.

Is there someone in your life you've been avoiding, or even someone who's avoiding you?

It really seems more common than ever to not be on speaking terms with people, especially family.

And it could feel like there's no way out of that situation.

But today's guest, Min Kim's ceiling, shows us that's not true.

By her mid-20s, she had already seen plenty of proof of the power of her Buddhist practice, so she wanted to challenge something much deeper, her relationship with her mother.

And before we jump into today's episode, just a quick reminder, if you haven't already,

please subscribe. That way, you'll be notified every Friday when we publish an episode.

And if you haven't yet,

please leave us a review. Doing that really does help us reach more people, and it encourages

them to give us a listen. All right. Without further ado, here's today's episode. Thank you for joining me on Voodability Min. It's good to see you. And I think that our listeners

are going to feel very encouraged by your story today. We're going to be talking about a big turning point in your life

where you decided to kind of like change something deeper down.

But before we get into all of that,

I'd love for you to just first introduce yourself

so that folks get an idea of who you are.

Yeah, first of all, thank you so much for having us, Cassie. I think this is a

really great opportunity, even though I'm really, really nervous inside me right now. That's okay. That's

okay. But yeah, my name is Min, and I'm 32, and I'm currently living in New Jersey.

So I was born and raised in Korea and I moved to the US in 2017 after graduating from college in Korea.

So at the time I really thought it would just be a two-year adventure, gain some experience, and then go back home and

my family and friends there.
