Reinvent Your Identity & Make Decisions for Yourself w/ Maddy Park | The Lavendaire Lifestyle
Channel: The Lavendaire Lifestyle
Date: 2022-06-26

Following a set career path with clear steps may feel safe, but is that honoring your true self? Maddy Park talks about her upbringing, how it led to years of stability (and an unfulfilling career in dentistry), and taking the risk to become a content creator making cozy cooking vlogs.

While juggling a part time job and creating cooking videos, Maddy shares how cooking became a form of therapy and how she formed a new identity by taking control of her life. She also takes us behind the scenes of Cafe Maddy Cab: an AAPI charity and non-profit (despite having no experience at all).
