Finding Flow Between Discipline and Surrender

September 16, 2026·38 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

What if your greatest fuel has been burning you out? In this episode, Mo Fong sits down with Gloria Synn — executive and life coach, founder of FLOWST8TE, creator of My Radiance, and former marketing leader at Goop, Nordstrom, Dollar Shave Club, and Accenture. Gloria shares how immigrating from Korea to Argentina to America shaped her drive — and how getting fired at the peak of her career became the greatest gift she ever received. Together, they explore the difference between "dirty fuel" (grit, white-knuckling, survival mode) and "clean fuel" (flow, purpose, ease), what surrender really means through a surfing lesson in Baja, why radiance is a noun and not a verb, and how community became the source of energy she never had growing up.
