Have you ever felt stuck in patterns you can’t explain—reacting, retreating, or second-guessing yourself in your relationships, career, or even parenting?

What if the root of your adult struggles isn’t a lack of skill or willpower… but unmet needs from childhood quietly directing your life?

In this transformative episode of GRASP Confidence, I sit down with the deeply wise and soul-grounded Dr. Uejin Kim—board-certified child and adult psychiatrist, entrepreneur, podcast host, and woman of faith. With clinical expertise and compassionate vulnerability, Dr. Kim unpacks how childhood trauma, whether overt or subtle, creates lasting imprints that shape our identity, our confidence, and the way we show up in the world.

From business burnout to parenting overwhelm, from perfectionism to people-pleasing—Dr. Kim walks us through how these patterns often originate in unhealed parts of ourselves. But there is hope. Healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken—it’s about nurturing what was neglected.

If you've ever wondered why you're so hard on yourself... why certain triggers make you feel small or unworthy... or why success sometimes feels empty despite all you've achieved—this episode will speak directly to your soul. Dr. Kim shares faith-based wisdom, grounded psychological insight, and a call to be still, to reconnect with your God-given worth, and to reclaim the wholeness that has always been within you.

This isn’t just a conversation—it’s an invitation to pause, reflect, and begin again from a place of compassion and truth.
