Stories from the In-Between: Where We Sit with Life’s Ambiguities and Paradoxes
Have you ever found yourself longing for a clean, black-and-white answer, only to realize life refuses to give you one? We humans crave certainty. We crave clarity. Yet life stays ruthlessly unscripted and complicated, unfolding in ways that rarely fit into neat categories. Most of what shapes us happens in the space in-between, not in the binary. Stories from the In-Between is a collection of true stories from those moments: the tug between parenthood and ambition, the delicate work of setting boundaries while loving deeply, the guilt that rises in quiet corners of our days, the solitude we crave and the connection we long for, the pull between living in the moment and holding on to the past, the tension between how life feels and how it appears, the complexity of leading through uncertainty, and the meaning we find in the everyday spaces we often rush past. Between the ambiguity and paradoxes of our lives and the pressure to be productive and efficient, what we tend to miss to create for ourselves is space. The space where you don’t have to choose one or the other The space where you aren’t asked to be right or wrong The space where ambiguity is allowed The space where you can sit and think The space where you can breathe The space where you can simply be This book is that space. A place to reflect, breathe, and feel seen in the middle of life’s constant pull between clarity and confusion. If you’ve ever felt stretched between who you want to be and what life asks of you, these stories will meet you there, in the in-between where most of us are living.

The Stories We Tell
What if the beliefs you hold about yourself are just lies you’ve chosen to accept? What if you’ve been living a story written by someone else, blindly accepted by you?
The Stories We Tell
Perfectly Incomplete
Aren’t you tired of the perfectly filtered pictures and perfectly packaged stories on social media? Where everyone seems to be having the best time of their life, all the time, and you feel like a loser for not doing so? Mihae Ahn gives a middle finger to the filters and dives right into the real and raw stories of crying her eyes out, suffering self-doubt, having an endless loop of self-sabotaging talks, discovering what she truly wants, accepting herself, and breaking the tiny damn shell that had confined her. In a world full of advice and how-tos that are overwhelming and worse, often irrelevant to our own lives, Mihae refuses to give advice but shares her stories. While advice is heavily context-dependent, these stories allow us the freedom and space to draw our own advice. In Perfectly Incomplete, Mihae tells stories that ask and answer the following fundamental questions to live her most authentic life: • “Who are you?” • “What excites you so much that it’s hard to calm yourself down?” • “What boils your blood like nothing else?” • “What are you good at?” • “How do you want to be remembered?” Our stories continue until the moment of our final breath. So, the story is perfectly incomplete at any given moment. And that’s the beauty of being alive. We get to continue writing our perfectly incomplete story
