For a long time, joy didn’t feel save in my body.

It could arrive and still make me scan for what might go wrong.
Like some part of me was already preparing for it to disappear.

This is what Lian and I would love to explore with you inside HOLD IT ALL, our virtual somatic mini-retreat for BIPOC adoptees on June 28, at 11am PT / 2pm ET / 20h CEST.

A space to feel joy without forcing it.
To honor grief without drowning in it.
To be with other adoptees who understand the complexity.

Limited spots to keep the space intimate.

I used to think grief was something I had to “get through.”

But slowly, I’m learning that grief doesn’t need me to fix it right away.
Sometimes it just needs me to stay.

A hand on my chest.
One breath.
A quiet: *I’m here with you. I feel you.*

For many adoptees, grief can feel too much because our bodies learned early to keep moving, keep bracing, keep surviving.

But healing asks something different from us.

Not to flood ourselves.
Not to force the pain open.
But to build enough safety to stay with what is real.

This is the work we’ll practice inside **Hold It All**, our somatic mini-retreat for BIPOC adoptees on June 28.

A space for grief and joy to exist side by side.

How Joy and grief can move through us together:

That day felt melancholy. Somewhere inside, my younger self was grieving. She needed to be held, and I hadn’t had much space for her all day.

Then the sun began to soften over the ocean.

I danced with my son in my arms,
our bodies moving with the rhythm of the waves,
the late light touching our skin.

No words. Just movement.
A small glimmer finding me.

The grief was there.
The sadness was there.
The joy was there too.

Quiet. Deep. Alive.

The grief didn’t disappear.
The joy didn’t have to prove anything.

They both moved through my body with the waves.

THIS is what healing can feel like sometimes.

Not loud or perfect.
Just a moment where all of it gets to belong
in the same body,
the same story,
the same lineage.

This is what Lian from You Can Yoga and I are so excited to explore inside HOLD IT ALL, our virtual somatic mini-retreat for BIPOC adoptees on June 28.

A space for grief, joy, aliveness, and the parts of us still learning they can belong.

Limited spots so we can keep it intimate.

So proud of this amazing LIBERATE cohort.

BIPOC adoptees: when safety is co-created, our guards can finally soften.

In LIBERATE, we move slowly enough for everyone to have space — to share, to feel, to be witnessed, and to be met without judgment.

Vulnerability is emotional courage. 🙌🏽🤎

🫶🏽The next LIBERATE cohort is already on my heart. DM me BIRDIE to get on the waitlist and receive early bird access when doors open.

Warmly, Sun Mee.

From disconnection to belonging: how I learned to feel again.

I joined Flor on Roots Reimagined and we talked about the real stuff: shame, grief, anger, motherhood, going back to Korea. all the feelings I spent years avoiding.

if you’re a BIPOC adoptee who understands disconnection more than belonging—this one’s for you.

This Mother’s Day I’m holding more people in my heart than ever before. 💛

I’m thinking about my biological mother who I never got to know.
About the loss she carries. The feelings she may still hold. I honor her deeply today.

I’m thinking about my adoptive mom and the love and care she gave me. The ways we kept listening to each other through hard conversations and the repair we were able to move through together.

I’m thinking about all mothers and all people who mother. The ones who nurture, protect, stay, guide, hold, and try again.

And I’m thinking about myself as a new mom.
Mothering my little son while also learning how to mother my inner child at the same time.

Motherhood has shown me how much capacity I have to feel and love.
It has also shown me how deeply care, safety, and healthy attachment matter in the early years of life.

Some days I look at my son and feel overwhelmed by how precious it is that he carries my blood. That something once interrupted in my story continues through him.

I’m grateful for this journey of becoming.
And today, I’m holding all the tenderness that comes with it. 💛
