Speaker Reel
Kim speaks on burnout, vulnerability, and belonging in the workplace, challenging audiences to question the cultures that reward overextension and emotional hiding. Her work invites leaders and teams into a more honest way of working, one where trust, boundaries, and humanity are not afterthoughts, but the foundation.
This reel sits inside the larger world of The Good Girl Exit, but focuses specifically on its workplace implications: burnout, vulnerability, belonging, boundaries, and the cost of having to perform okayness in order to be accepted.
Podcasts

Kim on what it truly means to evolve — not just in your career or relationships, but in who you are at your core.
