Belonging Starts When You Stop Fitting In with Sun Ah Brock
On this episode of Backstage Pass, Gail Davis talks with entrepreneur and storyteller Sun Ah Brock, whose journey from abandonment in Korea to rediscovery and reconnection decades later is both deeply personal and universally resonant. Sun shares how her search for belonging transformed her understanding of leadership, connection, and authenticity. Through her businesses, Lux Decor and Maru, and her speaking, she helps others uncover what it truly means to belong—not by changing who we are, but by arriving as ourselves.
Key topics in this episode include:
- Belonging vs. Fitting In: True belonging means being accepted as you are. Fitting in often requires changing parts of yourself—and that can be lonely.
- The Power of Vulnerability: Genuine connection begins when we let others see who we really are. Sharing even small personal truths builds stronger teams and communities.
- Leadership with Heart: As a leader, your openness sets the tone. When you model authenticity, others feel safe to do the same.
- Rediscovering Identity: Sun’s journey to reconnect with her biological family and cultural roots shows how healing and growth come from facing the past.
- Everyone Has a Story: Whether through adoption, immigration, or personal reinvention, Sun reminds us that sharing our stories helps others feel seen—and that’s where belonging begins.
