Seowon is open to talking about:
Impostor syndrome (does it ever go away?), switching career paths, the challenges and joys of being a generalist/wearer of many hats, finding your niche, the importance of having a great mentor and stepping up for leadership roles yourself, living and working with mental health issues and how to set yourself for success (or at least minimize crash-and-burn), personal development and spiritual practices to ground yourself
