Welcome to the hottest week Los Angeles has seen this year. Where all I want to do is drink a nice refreshing glass or two of alcohol, wine (the natural kind, duh) specifically and offer you some if you’re into that stuff. But I can’t, so instead, I bring you the next best thing, quality time with my wine [and samples] queen, Emily Koh of PinkiesUpLA!
Side note: It may sound like I’ve hired someone to play their mini shakers while I speak but it’s just my earrings that I forget to take off before I record. Fashion over function. Apologies, as I already regret mentioning something I hope does not discourage you whatsoever from diving into this V DEEP eps.
We talk about my literal favorite things: faith, wine and being Asian American women in industries that are…not so Asian American driven. Emily opens up about a failure I can SO relate to, her wine knowledge that I have transferred into notes on my legal pad and what it looks like to launch a small business the day before Stay At Home Orders were put in place. Yikes, but yay, because after you hear from Em, you’re going to want to adamantly cheers to the good, mysterious thing we call life.

I used to build a life around the status quo or the way I saw things happening and now I’ve released a lot of control over my life and what I think my life should look like … which has been really freeing.
