Clear Intentions with Diane Boden
What happens when a high-powered entrepreneur realizes that success has come at the cost of her well-being? After launching an award-winning sustainable fashion startup in Hong Kong, Michelle Jungmin Bang found herself in the emergency room, overwhelmed by years of stress. Determined to prioritize health for both herself and her family, she embarked on a journey of healing and self-discovery, chronicled in her new book, SUN & SSUKGAT: The Korean Art of Self-Care, Wellness & Longevity. She dives into the wisdom of traditional Korean wellness practices, the power of food as medicine, and the importance of functional foods and phytochemicals in promoting longevity. Along the way, she reveals insights on terrain theory, keeping a food journal, shifting perspectives on aging and more.
Michelle Jungmin Bang is an award-winning eco-entrepreneur and Harvard Business School graduate who spent 16 years living in Asia as a Korean-American from New York City. She is the author of Sun & Ssukgat, a wellness guide covering her research, interviews, and personal eco-conscious journey in uncovering centuries-old well-being traditions from her time in Asia and Korea, where scientists project its people will top longevity charts in 2030. Michelle is the co-founder and founding CEO of The R Collective (formerly BYT), a sustainable fashion brand that creates affordable luxury pieces out of high-end materials that would otherwise have been disposed of in a landfill. She is passionate about driving social impact and serves as a board director and founding member of various mission-driven organizations.
