Through live interviews conducted in English, Korean, and even French, I strive to capture candid, personal, humorous, and deeply engaging conversations. You’ll hear experiences you may never have imagined: the hard truths of being a female venture capitalist, the behind-the-scenes realities of launching a French-Korean fusion restaurant, and actionable advice on balancing a demanding legal career with motherhood. From business, law, cinema, perfumery, and fashion to writing and beyond, Seoulful Sisters is here to satisfy your curiosity about how today’s emerging female leaders are changing the world—one bold step at a time.

   Ep 34: Being A Supermom

   Welcome back to this week's episode! We're joined by Olivia Ih, calling in all the way from Paris. Olivia is the definition of a supermom: she's MC'd at renowned global events, taught French to Korean diplomats, raised three children, and competes at a near-professional level in golf, all while carrying herself with warmth and an infectious brightness that comes through in every word. In this episode, we explore the power of language learning, the value of cross-cultural curiosity, and what it really means to keep an open mind. For Olivia, that openness isn't just a personality trait; it's the very thing she credits for her success and her happiness. Whether you're a fellow multitasker wondering how to find balance, or simply someone who admires people who live boldly and fully, this conversation has something for you. We also make room for the lighter things — the quirks of French kissing culture, the comfort of a home-cooked meal, and the small joys that make a big life feel grounded. Every minute, you'll learn something new. I promise. If this episode floated your boat, come back next week around this time of the week for another episode. Until then, stay positive and stay seoul-ful! Instagram: @seoulfulsisters Contact: yuraclaire@icloud.com

   Ep 33: On Brands, Balance, and Being

   had the privilege of sitting down with designer, artist, creative director, CEO—and the many other roles she seamlessly takes on—Kelita Choi, founder of Kelita & Co., one of Korea’s most renowned branding studios. I’ve never heard anyone explain brands and branding quite the way she does. Like people, she says, brands are born—but they also grow, evolve, wither, and renew. The role of a branding company is to capture the essence of a brand and protect it through all the changes it is bound to experience, preserving the identity at its very core. Beyond her dedication to creating meaningful logos and visual identities, Kelita is deeply passionate about gardening, paper, travel, and artistic immersion in all its forms. One of my favorite insights from our conversation was her philosophy that life should be lived like a sandwich: first, tackle the parts you may not enjoy (think the lettuce and tomatoes), but always leave room for the parts you love (the ham and cheese). Without that balance, she believes, burnout is inevitable—and life becomes unsustainable. I could say so much more about this conversation, but I’ll leave the rest for you to discover. Stay for the full 40 minutes—yes, our longest episode yet—because every minute is worth it. Join me again next week for another special guest! Until then, stay positive, and stay “soul” (Seoul)-ful:)! Instagram: seoulfulsisters Contact: yuraclaire@icloud.com
