Zainab Al Yakoob
About this episode

This Wednesday, we’re joined by Eunae—aka Seoulian Mommy—for a cozy, chaotic, and seriously spicy episode.

We get into what it’s like being Korean in Kuwait, juggling life as an entrepreneur, expat, and full-time mommy (spoiler: it’s not always cute), and how food became her love language and her legacy. From kimchi cravings to culture shocks, Eunae spills all the tea on the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of doing the absolute most—with a smile.

All this and more in this week’s episode!
