What does it really take to go from surviving your life to intentionally designing it?

In this powerful episode of The Good Enough Mompreneur Podcast, I sit down with Sun Yong Kim-Manzolini, CEO of Lush Enterprises, to explore resilience, mindset, financial freedom, and what’s possible when you decide that “good enough” no longer means settling.

Sun Yong’s story is nothing short of remarkable. Raised in orphanages in South Korea, later adopted as a teenager, and eventually becoming a single mother working a $35,000-a-year job, she found herself exhausted, financially stuck, and craving a different life. With no savings and no safety net, Sun Yong made a bold decision—to retire early and learn options trading.

That decision changed everything.

Today, Sun Yong helps others—especially single mothers—create financial security and flexibility through her M.I.R.A.C.L.E. system, empowering them to spend less time working and more time living.

But this episode goes far beyond money.

This conversation is about:

Learning to trust yourself again
Taking action even when fear is loud
Rewriting the beliefs you inherited from your past
And giving yourself permission to want more

If you’re a mompreneur who feels overwhelmed, stretched thin, or quietly wondering if there’s another way—this episode is for you.
