Hello!
Welcome! I'm Mihae Ahn, and I'm delighted you've found your way to my corner of the digital world. As a storyteller at heart, I wear many hats – author, marketing executive, DEI advocate, and podcast host – but what truly drives me is connecting with people like you.
Think of this space as my living room, where my professional passions and creative endeavors come together. Whether you're here to explore my books, dive into my blog posts, or learn more about my speaking engagements, I hope you'll make yourself at home. I'd love to hear from you – drop me a note at hello@mihaeahn.com and let's start a conversation.
Books
I am the author of two books, The Stories We Tell and Perfectly Incomplete.
Stories have the power to connect us, inspire us, and remind us we're not alone on life's journey. Through my writing, I share raw, honest tales of pursuing a bold and purposeful life – not as someone who has it all figured out, but as a fellow explorer on the path.
You won't find polished prescriptions or top-down advice here. Instead, I offer my experiences, complete with the messy moments, hard-won insights, and unexpected joys. My hope is that by sharing these stories authentically, I can inspire you to embrace your own adventures and live more courageously.
Whether you're seeking inspiration, connection, or simply a reminder that it's okay to forge your own path, you're welcome here. As you explore my stories, I invite you to reflect on your own journey and the unique tale only you can tell.
The Stories We tell
Have you ever felt stuck? So stuck in your own thoughts and beliefs that you're so damn frustrated and want to get the hell out but can't seem to find a way? I have. For years. At some point, I realized the way to break free was to examine the narratives I was playing on repeat in my head—stories about who I was and what I should chase in life. Because in the end, our life is a collection of the stories we tell. The stories we tell shape our reality. The beliefs we hold shape our reality.
So I looked into them—the limiting beliefs that were holding me back. I examined my dreams and desires, and thought about what stories I needed to tell to empower myself. This book is a collection of those stories—both the old narratives that once defined me and the new ones I'm embracing today. In this book, I share my raw and authentic stories vulnerably. As you read them, I invite you to reflect on your own.
Perfectly Incomplete
Perfectly Incomplete is my story of fighting imposter syndrome time and time again, unleashing wildly alive passion, and dreaming big (really big). Through these pages, I hope to inspire you to ask yourself, "Why not me?"
In a world full of advice and how-tos that are overwhelming and, worse, often irrelevant to our own lives, I chose a different path. Instead of giving advice, I share my stories. Not those filtered ones but the real and raw moments—crying my eyes out, suffering self-doubt, battling endless loops of self-sabotaging talks. I take you through my journey of discovering what I truly want, accepting myself, and breaking the tiny damn shell that had confined me.
Have you ever battled self-doubt? Experienced imposter syndrome? You aren't alone. This book will be your companion, and I promise you'll feel a ton lighter as you turn its pages.
Podcast
Podcast, The Stories We Tell, is Coming Soon!
Welcome to "The Stories We Tell," my podcast that grew from the heart of my book by the same name. In each episode, I sit down with remarkable women leaders from diverse fields for conversations that go beyond the surface. These extraordinary women share their personal journeys, the challenges they've overcome, and the stories that have shaped their paths to leadership.
As your host, I guide these intimate discussions to uncover the unique narratives that drive these leaders to make a difference in their communities and beyond. From CEOs and entrepreneurs to activists and artists, each guest brings a wealth of experience and wisdom, offering you valuable insights into resilience, authenticity, and the power of storytelling.
You'll hear firsthand accounts of triumphs and setbacks, learn about the pivotal moments that defined their careers, and gain practical wisdom on harnessing the power of your own story to lead with confidence and purpose.
Whether you're an aspiring leader, a seasoned professional, or simply someone looking for inspiration, I've created this platform for women to share their voices and inspire others to rewrite their own narratives.
