Today, I’m so excited to introduce you all to a very special guest: my new roomie, Jisu Kim! Jisu was on track to pursue a career in medicine when she quit her job in the emergency department and walked away from medical school to become a full-time wellness and lifestyle content creator. Her content, ranging from sharing healthy habits to friendship advice, continues to inspire other young women to prioritize their health and become the best version of themselves. As someone who has personally had some wild (and not all positive) experiences with roommates and female friendships over the years, I'll be the first to say it: building deep, authentic friendships is freaking HARD, you guys! Having supportive female friends, finding the perfect roomie, navigating post-grad friend group dynamics… it’s filled with ups and downs. And Jisu and I are going to dive into the honest truth today. ⚡️The importance of sharing values and expectations in friendships ⚡️How to cultivate a living situation that supports your lifestyle ⚡️Why you should be patient when searching for a roommate ⚡️Navigating challenges that arise in deep friendships ⚡️How to effectively and openly communicate with friends and roommates ⚡️Why quality over quantity is the way to go in friendships 🎧 Follow us on IG and Tiktok @regardlessthepod, and keep up with my personal updates on @skylarsorkin.
