*New Episode* Our latest episode is loosely inspired by the Serenity Prayer, "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change and courage to change the things I can." We asked each other to fill in the blank to these two questions: "I need to be okay with..." and "I need to..." The first question is about acknowledgment and acceptance and the second is about action and pivoting.  We categorized our answers into 3 main areas: COVID, family, and work. We hope you enjoy this thoughtful reflection and that it will inspire you to also create your own list to share with the rest of the GG tribe!

🔥 New Episode: Mind-Full of Thanks 🔥.
Thanksgiving is around the corner and in the midst of Covid and uncertainty in politics, how do we maintain a mind-full of thanks, gratitude and peace? An average person has 60-70,000 thoughts a day, so how do we center all those thoughts? A grounding thought can influence the rest of the day, our attitude, our mindset, and affect how we instill a beautiful mindset in our children. The energy we put out is often the energy our kids are gobbling up! In this episode we talk about Christian yoga, workouts, meditating, priming, and more! And if you want more info on Eunice’s Christian Yoga teacher, Cindy Yang, you can check her out on Instagram!

💥Latest Episode: How We Do Korean At Home.💥Today we'll be talking about speaking Korean at home...but specifically teaching our kids Korean!  This is probably something that differs from one Korean American household to another depending on who lives in the house or who you are married to!  For example, Sharon is married to a KA and speaks English to her husband, and Eunice is married to a Korean Korean and speaks mostly Korean with her husband.  We dive deep into how we spoke Korean in our childhood, our Korean speaking goals for our kids, how we feel about Korean school, and Korean learning resources that are available.

The Korean Alphabet Day, known as Hangeul Day (한글날) in South Korea is a national Korean commemorative day marking the invention and the proclamation of Hangul (한글), the alphabet of the Korean language, by the 15th-century Korean monarch Sejong the Great. It is observed on October 9 in South Korea.

🔥New Episode! 🔥This episode is for our listeners out there who currently have a newborn 👶🏻🤱🏻or infant. We want to acknowledge and recognize those mothers and give them some love❤️ and encouragement. So we see all the mamas (and papas)... it’s hard, tiring, and even boring sometimes! It’s okay to feel like you don’t know what you’re doing. Everyday will not be like a pampers or huggies commercial😆. It’s probably more like a bounty’s commercial with spills and stains. We have to remember that when we gave birth to our child, 3 new creatures were born that day- the child, the mother, and the father were all born at the same exact moment! We hope that this episode will encourage you to not only survive but thrive as a loving parent!🥰.
