For years, Won Choi seemed to be checking every box — the right schools, the right jobs, the right milestones. But beneath the surface, a string of heartbreaking challenges was quietly building: infertility, loss, a family medical crisis, burnout, and a layoff that left her and her family in serious financial uncertainty. At her lowest point, she found herself questioning her worth and asking if there was a better way to live.
Won took everything she learned through those hard seasons and turned it into her personal mission. She is now a leadership coach and founder of Won Daily, where she helps business leaders detach their identity from their job title and step into a more grounded, human-centered way of leading.
In this episode, we talk about what it means to rebuild yourself when everything you've tied your worth to is stripped away — and the mindset shifts, self-development practices, and hard-earned wisdom that can transform even your deepest setbacks into your greatest strengths. This is Won's story.
