Speaking Out Cost Me Everything: A Conversation on Shame, Burnout, and Worthiness w/ Michelle MiJung Kim

Send us a text

What happens when you speak out for justice and its costs you everything?

In this raw and intimate conversation, Michelle MiJung Kim (author of The Wake Up and host of I Feel That Way Too) joins us to explore the aftermath of speaking up for Palestine in a world that often punishes courage.

We explore:

  • Losing clients and credibility after speaking up for Palestine
  • Grieving the collapse of a once-successful career and public identity
  • Shame, silence, and the tension between self-love and social impact
  • Navigating burnout, belonging, and friendship ruptures in justice spaces
  • Rebuilding worthiness outside of productivity and applause

Whether you’ve ever felt lost, unworthy, or unsure how to show up, you’re not alone. This conversation is for you.
