Radical Radiance: Attraction From The Outside In With Angela Jia Kim

Who says beauty is only skin deep? Tactically, this was first stated as a proverb, interestingly enough, in 1613 by Sir Thomas Overbury about his wife. What’s funny is no one even knows why. Now it’s used to allude to anything superficial and that external attractiveness has no relation to goodness or essential quality. That is simply not true. I’m here to say that. Those of you who know me, I preach it, teach it, and in fact, I argue that beauty and taking care of yourself as the gateway into internal confidence, and that it’s symbiotic in nature. You can’t focus on the interior without looking at the importance of the exterior when it comes to confidence and attraction, especially when dating.

There is actual research and data on the social and psychological implications of attractiveness. It’s been studied that physically attractive individuals, both men and women, across the board, young and old, of all races, and high and low socioeconomic statuses are generally believed to be more sensitive, more kind, interesting, strong poised, sociable, outgoing, and exciting. What does this all mean? We do regard attractiveness sometimes as superficial. It conflicts with what’s PC nowadays. That image doesn’t matter, but beauty is not only skin deep.

We’re going to have a discussion about this. Physical attractiveness should not make a difference, and that is superficial. This is the notion, but your physical attractiveness significantly affects both the quality and the course of your lives through how you feel about yourself and how you are treated by others. That includes attraction when you’re in search of your partner.

It isn’t about changing who you are. It’s about marketing yourself so that someone gets to know all the beautiful things about you. When you look in the mirror, like what you see, and say, “I feel hot, beautiful, and attractive,” that’s when others will, too. It’s not even about the other person. It’s more about you and how you’re feeling about yourself.

I have this awesome story to share because it happened hot off the press. It’s a beautiful example of what we’re going to talk about. This client came to me because she didn’t think she was sexy or attractive. She was getting nowhere fast with her dating life. She wasn’t attracting the men that she had chemistry with. She was settling and was like, “I want to find a partner that not only finds me attractive, but I find attractive.”

She was super uncomfortable getting attention. She was not putting herself out there. She wanted to be that woman to walk in the room where she captured men’s eyes, but that wasn’t ever happening to her. She just didn’t think that she had it. What I was saying was that this had nothing to do with the men, but it had everything to do with how she saw herself and put herself out there and her discomfort around being seen.

Here is the most beautiful story ever and what came out of this. After our work together, I had her practice wearing things that fit her body to play with color, and her feminine flare, so that when she walked into the room, she got comfortable with that side of her, focusing on her beauty, and that sexy confidence. We were doing internal work too, but it was symbiotic as we were doing this process together.

What happened to her is that she was on Hinge and she saw this guy that she liked. They connected, but they hadn’t moved on. Lo and behold, she had this meeting at a restaurant. Normally this meeting is like a book club. They meet at a house, but this time, they met at a restaurant. She almost walked out the door in the comfy clothes that she usually hides in. She had me in her head and said, “Kimmy’s going to kill me.”

She put on her dating costume. She did her little date prep plan to get her an inner body and her flirt self. She walked into the restaurant and she found all eyes on her. This time, instead of looking away, she embraced it. She met eyes back at the men receiving it. In the crowd of people at the restaurant who was there, but that guy she saw at Hinge.

I can’t make this up. They lock eyes. He smiles at her. As she’s sitting down, he sends her a drink. They talk afterward. They ended up having a date and they went on a lot of dates after that. It was this huge light bulb that went off for her. It wasn’t even about whether or not that was going to be her boyfriend. It was the fact that she attracted what she put out there. As you can see, beauty is not all skimmed deep.

With me is a beautiful woman who is going to help me talk about beauty, self-love, and how that all relates to attraction and dating. She is a former concert pianist and the Founder of Savor Beauty and Spa, a Manhattan-based skincare and spa brand inspired by Korean beauty rituals. You’re in for a treat. She’s also the author of Radical Radiance: 12 Weeks of Self-Love Rituals to Manifest Abundance, Beauty, and Joy, and the creator of the Savor Beauty Planner, a self-care guide that helps women manifest beauty, brilliance, and balanced. Can you see why I have her on? Welcome, Angela Jia Kim.

Thank you so much for having me on. I loved that story that you shared. Attractiveness and radiance go hand in hand. We are in for a treat.

People are not even going to know what hit them. I instantly connected with you even as you first came on here. You said that you were excited to come on because you have some personal stories about what we’re going to talk about. I would love to know your story and your journey. What got you into all this?

What Is Attractiveness?

If we define what is attractiveness, is it your looks? Is it the way you carry yourself? Is it that je ne sais quoi quality? If you think about the people that you’re most attracted to, what is it? It’s a combination of confidence, owning who you are, and owning your worth, but wouldn’t you say it’s also self-love?

100%. You can see that when people showcase that. It’s symbiotic in nature. It’s all-encompassing. It’s not one or the other.

When you love yourself, it’s because you understand your secret sauce. It almost is this exuberance that comes out of your pores into the world. It’s almost like, “I have a little secret for you,” then people lean in and they were like, “What is your secret to who you are, the mysticism and the poeticism of who you are?” Where do I start? I have so much.

Start from you being a pianist. How did you transcend them to what you’re doing now?

I was a pianist. I’ve been a little baby pianist since I was three years old. Into my 30s, I was touring more states and towns than a presidential candidate at one point. I was studying attraction, radiance, and all of that as a concert pianist because the way you enter a stage is the way that you enter a room. I would spend hours and hours practicing piano to give the best performance. I also practiced how I walked out on stage. That’s what I tell all my employees.

I have facial spas and two of them are in New York City. I teach them, “The way you walk into the room is the way you’re going to own the room. It’s the way you’re going to attract more clients.” The way I would walk on stage. I would practice my presence, feeling confident, and grabbing the room. When I walked out on stage, I wanted the audience to gasp. I wanted there to be, “Who is that?” You can attract attractiveness like you were saying with your opening story. You can practice that.

This is exactly what I was doing in class. It’s a program that I’m doing called Spark Your Sexy. We were talking about how sometimes you have to fake it until you make it. You have to act as if it until you become. The only way of doing that is to put yourself into practice. It could be walking in a bunch of places and making eye contact with people. I love the whole stage metaphor that you were talking about. Even with what people wear, I often refer to it as a dating costume. It’s a costume that you put on that you’re going on stage and practicing with men. That’s where it started.

I would even say even if you’re married for 15 or 20, something that we often do is forget to dress up and show up our sexy. That’s something that is important. Make sure that you not only look, but you feel attractive.

I was going to ask you that segue. When you kept going on stage and you were demanding that presence, at first, did you feel it to your point or did you have to do it again until it became you?

Who feels confident walking out on stage in front of 100 to 500 to 1,000 people in the audience? That’s not something that comes naturally to many people. You do have to fake it. It’s shoulders back, that spark in your eyes, and the walk that’s very confident. You’re commanding the room. It’s something that now is very natural to me because I’ve done it all my life.

Even when I run a meeting or when I came here with you, I wanted to make you feel like you are the most important person in the room, which you are, and for this next hour, you are my sole focus and attention. I want to give you everything I have. When I’m in a meeting, I want to be fully present, walk into that meeting, poised, present, and commanding. I have something to say, and you are going to drink everything up because what I have to say is going to make your life better.

I love that you said, “Who is confident at first?” If those of you could see her online or if you’re watching this on YouTube, you would be surprised to hear that from her, because you’re gorgeous. A lot of times people say, “You’re pretty, so it’s easy for you.” I was wondering when you had maybe some self-doubts because even the most attractive people, whatever we define that, have insecurities and self-doubts. Did you have those? How did you push through it to become that poised, charismatic woman?

Affirmations

It is fake it until you make it, but there’s a lot of inner work. That’s what I talked a lot about in Radical Radiance. It is all about how you manifest the abundance, beauty, joy and radiate your gorgeous, authentic beauty. I believe in affirmations. Do you know what an affirmation is?

Yes, but tell the audience in case they don’t know.

Affirmation is to affirm something into reality. If I don’t feel confident about something, I will say, “I own this. I feel confident. Angela, you feel confident,” and I say it over and over again. When I go on my walks, I will affirm whatever it is that I want to manifest into existence. Affirmations are almost like hypnosis. Have you ever done hypnosis?

I know hypnosis quite a bit. I refer to that a lot for clients. It’s super powerful.

The times when I didn’t feel confident as a concert pianist, I would record myself saying, “Angela, you feel in the flow. You are commanding and giving your amazing talent to an amazing audience.” I would say that over and over again. I would go to sleep listening to it that’s it. People think affirmation is a superficial thing. It’s not. It’s it seeps into your self-consciousness and then you start vibrating the words. If you want to feel more gorgeous, “I’m glowing. I feel gorgeous.” How you feel is what you manifest. That’s important.

The other piece of it is experience. I will tell you that I failed my way to success in building a multimillion-dollar business, Savor Beauty. I invested in my inexperience. Experience will help you to get out there. Right before we jumped onto this call, I shared with you a personal story of how in my 40s after a 20-year marriage, my now ex-husband and I got a divorce during the pandemic. Isn’t that a long time to be married?

The reader could probably relate. A lot of my readers have had similar journeys. I love that you’re sharing this.

We had an amicable divorce. Please don’t let us get off this show without me sharing with you the importance of rising above and a lot of energetical work, but it’s going to make you more attractive. I promise you. We have to get back to that. I want to share with you how scared I was when we finally decided to separate first and then get divorced. I live in New York City at the time my daughter was nine, and now I’m a single working mom in Manhattan. Have you ever heard of dating in Manhattan?

I’ve heard some somewhat of it. It’s probably similar to dating in LA. Every city has its nuance.

In New York City, it’s a revolving door. A lot of my friends have been dating on the dating scene and it’s a beast.

It is like Sex and the City.

When Sex and the City was happening, were there evening even dating apps back then?

There wasn’t.

The fact of coming out, in my twenties, I was dating in college. That’s how you met people. In my 40s, I’m like, “I have to get on a dating app.” It was scary. On the first date that I ever went, I thought I was going to get assaulted. I didn’t know. I was scared. I remember my first conversation because this goes back to your question, “Do you fake it until you make it? How do you get gain that confidence to be attractive?”

I was out with one of my friends and I said, “I have a secret to tell you. We’re getting separated.” It was such a dirty secret for me. I was scared. I said, “I have a couple of questions. How are men in their forties? Do they still have hair or beer belly? Do they expect you to put out on the first date?” I was so naïve. She gave me the best advice.

Angela’s Dating Story

She said, “You’re not ready to get for anything serious. Go on Bumble. Go explore what’s out there, make friends and have fun.” I want to share with you my dating story because I’m a businesswoman. I would ask tons of questions. I did a lot of market research on what are men in New York City looking for and what men find attractive. I want to share with you my thoughts on that. Is that okay?

Please do. It’s so juicy.

I went on my first date and only wanted to have fun and make friends. Rest assured that’s not what men want on Hinge. I used Hinge a lot. I love Hinge. They want to get into a serious relationship, but I was like, “I want to have fun.” That was attractive because men are used to women who want to get serious fast, and they also want to get serious.

I feel like the men are a little bit more willing to explore. I was on the opposite end of what a woman wants, so they told me. I was like, “I’m here to make friends. I want to learn from you. I want you to learn from me. We’re going to have a fabulous meal. If we never see each other again, at least we had a great time.” The men would be like, “This is fun.”

I want to highlight this gold nugget that you’re probably not even realizing. You’re saying something that’s important for people dating. Regardless of your journey, whether it’s just getting out of divorce or the mindset that you have of, “I just want to have fun and get to know you,” is such the right attitude and mindset when you’re on a date for the first time because what it is is that you’re so present.

Being present is so important because so many people get ahead of it. They think of a Cinderella story and what this guy’s going to be like to be your husband. You are bogged down from the past of things that happens so you’re worried about getting hurt. When you let go of the future and past, and you work on the present, you connect in such a deeper and more fun way. I want to highlight that because that was good that you said that.

Here’s a little secret on how you can become more present. Think of it as this man or this person in front of me, this date, is meant to teach me something that I am meant to learn. Even if I even went down to the superficial, “You are going to teach me how to make a Manhattan. I’m going to learn how to make a Manhattan. You’re going to teach me how to cook a steak, fantastic. Now I know how to make a steak.”

I didn’t have a Spotify playlist when I started dating. I’m depending on my husband for that. There is a date that we just made my Spotify playlist. Every single day I was like, “I’m here. I’m just going to learn something from you. I don’t care if it’s I’m learning a new restaurant. That’s fantastic. I want to teach you something, too. I want this to be enriching for you, too.” That’s a little secret nugget.

When you look at it when you’re going in on a date, “I’m going to be curious and learn something. What is that going to be like?” Having that open curiosity is attractive.

Planting Seeds

This is attraction secret number two. The other thing that might’ve been attractive is that I was going on lots of dates. I had a revolving door of dates. We would set something up, even if it was for coffee or whatever. I call it planting seeds. That’s also in the Radical Radiance book. I call it, “You need to plant seeds every day.” I would go on Hinge, not obsessively. You can only go once or twice a day. You can’t make this a thing where you’re obsessed.

You go and you plant seeds. Whether you’re reaching out or you’re responding to someone who’s reaching out, you’re starting a conversation, think of it as a planted seed. Eventually, something will blossom. I had no problem making dates. I was busy with dates and I was going to have fun with them. Not only dates with them, dates with myself, and my friends. I didn’t break those dates unless it was for a hot man.

Go date yourself. Go on what I call Radiance Retreats where you’re going to the spa, on a hike, or even sitting at a bar with drinks and drinking with yourself. Make these dates where you’re having fun with yourself. It amps up your radiance and glow. That’s attraction secret number two, is set up all these dates with dates, yourself and friends.

The third attraction secret was a little bit of Intel from the New York City men that they would tell me that was different, that they weren’t used to with other women. I spoke very positively and honestly about my ex-husband. Inevitably, you’re going to get into your history. Some of us do not feel glorious about our exes, but when you start bashing your exes and making it a dumpster of everything that went wrong, it’s a big turnoff. You’re like most of the women out there who are angry, mad, upset, jealous, or negative.

Whatever you feel about them, do not bring it to the date. I genuinely adore my ex-husband. He’s a fantastic father. We ended things amicably. If we want to get into how I did that, we can later on because there was a lot of inner work that we both had to do for the sake of our daughter. There are a lot of things that went wrong with our marriage or else we’d be married.

I spoke very glowingly about him and I said, “I have no ill feelings. I learned a lot about what I did wrong and that’s what’s important.” It wasn’t only him that did everything wrong. We like to blame it, but if we can clean up our side of the sidewalk, talk about self-awareness, and what we can do better for the next, it’s attractive.

I would like to bring out even more that example of keeping things positive and letting go. That’s what we’re talking about. Beyond the ex thing, even how does negativity leak in other ways and other subjects in your body language and the way you’re communicating, even the words that you choose. This has been studied.

You could have an amazing date and maybe keep things somewhat positive. If there’s one thing that is deemed as negative, maybe it’s talking about your ex or whatever it is, your date will remember the negative and it will negate all the other positive things. Be mindful of that. To your point, it takes work to do that because you may think, “I’m positive,” but your face is saying something else. It’s important to do that outside and inside work so that you’re radiating the positivity on the outside, but you’re also feeling it on the inside. That’s a beautiful point.

Attraction secret number four is your life should be like a party. When I see you, I feel like your life feels like a party. I can imagine that you have a lot of fun in your life because your laugh is so vibrant. Your eyes are sparkling. That’s not something that you can make up unique. Your life has to be a party. Your date, future partner, or future life partner is invited to your party. They can join if they want, but they don’t have to if they don’t want. Your party goes on. We were talking about Radiance Retreat. That means spending time with yourself, having fun, and doing your meditation. I joined an emotional fitness gym downtown.

What is that? I’ve never even heard of that.

It’s where you do breathing and breath work. You do meditation and ceremonies. I was part of that. I was also rekindling old friendships, too, and having a lot of parties at my house. I had a lot of fun. This is what I would do differently this time around with my partner who now lived together. I want to continue to have that party.

I want to continue to look attractive and not always be in my sweats. When we go out, I want it to feel like a first date. I want it to be a party and have fun. I started cooking. I never cooked before. My ex-husband did all the cooking. Try cooking or baking. Make your life interesting. What do I say to my daughter? She always says, “I’m bored.” I said, “Don’t be boring.”

Within that, what you out is what you get back. That’s so true because if you’re putting out the party attitude and the energy, you’re going to get that back. If you’re not, everything is not a party. I even talk about going online as one ginormous party. Instead of going on and vetting your next boyfriend, what if you use it as a portal for a party? Say, “I’m just going to have a bunch of conversations and flirt.” It is such a beautiful attitude, and that’s so attractive. We like that of the opposite sex, too. Why wouldn’t they like that in us?

That’s why I like Hinge because it feels more like social media. When you’re commenting on someone, it feels like you’re commenting more on social media posts. It doesn’t feel like it’s like you are reaching out. It’s like cue pick. Where was this? It’s a social media conversation. Don’t take it so seriously. Make it a party. I love what you said. Everything is energy. If you approach your Hinge profile or your Hinge reach-outs as like, “I hate this,” you’re going to get that energy back.

Do you have another tip?

I have one more, but the energy thing. That’s why that number three secret is so important to try to clear the clutter of your ex-history. A lot of women are out wanting to revenge. your exes. If you have this residual negativity, it’s going to seep into your future. I know it’s hard because I was there. However, you leave that or you feel about that is what you’re going to carry.

This can work in a positive and negative way. It’s realizing we are also powerful. We can create and manifest whatever it is that we say out loud and what we put our lives into. To your point, it could be a negative thing, too, because it’s going to bite you eventually in who you attract and the energy around you. Think about it on the flip side. As easy it is to be negative, how easy it could be positive too if you manifest that for yourself and see the abundance ahead of you and the vision of the partner that you want. You will create it.

No Expectations & Limitations

That leads me to attraction secret number five. I want everyone to write this down because what I’m about to say is how I attracted my partner. We’re very much in love. In fact, the day of this book launch was the anniversary of when we met. It was June 14, 2020. We moved in together. We have a beautiful, exciting, and adventurous life together. I’m going to say a phrase that I would love for you to absorb because this was the basis of how I attracted love back into my life. No expectations and no limitations. It’s powerful.

It was our second date in June 2020. He was a self-professed playboy. He was like, “I’m getting out of a twenty-year marriage. I am playing around. I’m not getting to anything serious. We were both in the same space.” I said, “No expectations and no limitations.” He was like, “I love that.” I said, “I don’t expect anything from you, but I also don’t want to limit anything.” He was like, “Let’s live in that space.” I approached every date with we’re going to have such succulent, delicious fun. “If I never see you again, we will at least have fun.”

After the second week, he was smitten. He was like, “I turned off my Hinge profile,” he waited and there was silence. Do you know what I said to him? I said, “I’m not ready.” He was like, “That’s okay. I’m pausing my Hinge profile. When you’re ready, you’ll let me know then.” A month later he was like, “I’m the playboy, not you. What’s going on here?” He was taken because everything that I did was all the secrets that I shared with you. He was like, “I feel like you have a halo and a radiance. I want to be around this energy.” Attractiveness is energy.

I love that. No expectations and no limitations. The thing that I’m going to put a button on with that is what I tell my clients. It’s being in your queendom and kingdom. When you hold court, you’re letting go and letting the energy come to you rather than desperately seeking it and trying to have it, that’s never attractive. When you’re holding back and saying, “I know who I am. I know what I want. No expectations. Let’s just be present,” it’s super attractive to both parties. There’s not that attachment and high expectation that also trips a lot of people up and then they get in a state of anxiety because they want it so desperately.

The more you feel better about yourself and you fill yourself up outside and in, the more solid you are. You’re not dependent on your partner for that. You could like, “If you’re along for the party, I’m game, but I don’t have to chase you to get it.” It’s beautiful. I know that you have some rituals around self-love that you talk about. Do you want to share a few tidbits in your book?

Radical Radiance Rituals

One of the first rituals that I teach in the book is to wash your face every night. I’ll share with you how to wash your face the right way because, on so many levels, it’s important. We’re talking about attractiveness. You want to have beautiful skin. Kim, you have gorgeous skin. It’s like angelic skin. It’s beautiful. I see a lot of skin all day long and I teach people how to have beautiful skin. That’s the first thing I’m noticing about you. If you take care of your skin, it’s a game of inches, but it’s also a marathon. When you’re in your 40s, 50s, or 60s, you want to have that beautiful skin. The best way to take care of it is to wash your skin every night.

My mom had the best advice for me. She always said, “Treat your skin like the most expensive silk on Earth.” That is beautiful for soul care and skincare. What I like to do at nighttime is I like to do my affirmations. I use the Savor Beauty line, but you can use any product line that you want to wash your face. Do a double cleanse. You want to take cleansing oil, and then you’re going to layer on a water-based cleanser on top. You put the cleansing oil on your face to melt off all the makeup, and take off all the debris and toxins out of your pores.

It’s a symbolic thing for your soul as well as you’re going to reset your soul, spirit, and skin. You’re going to pull out all the toxins from your pores and your soul. You’re going to layer on top of the water-based cleanser, which is going to sweep away all the impurities. Your skin is getting cleansed, but also think of it as your soul is getting cleansed as well.

I always say, “I feel renewed. I feel purified.” It’s a ritual that you will keep for the rest of your life. You have a moment for yourself. It takes one minute. It’s a beautifully symbolic way to remember for one minute a day that you matter. That’s the first ritual. I teach in the book, “How you treat your skin is how you treat your soul.” You see how that’s symbolic.

What was coming to me as you were talking about exfoliating and clearing out is what I do with people’s closets, too. You need to have a clearing in order to have something renewed. Whether it is clothes or new skin, it’s a psychologically important thing to do for yourself. The fact that you put it in a ritual every day, I love that. I’m going to try that.

I would love to send you our double cleansing kit. We’re coming out with a Kalahari melon cleansing oil. It smells like fresh air, and then the Jasmine milk cleanser that you put on top. It’s beautiful. I would love to send that as a gift to you. The other thing, to punctuate, clearing out your closet, our skin has this amazing process called decimation. The top part of it is a mother skin cell. There’s a daughter skin cell that wants to come out, the skin renewal, but you have to exfoliate the mother’s skin cell off in order for the daughter skin cell to come up.

Have you noticed that children, when they have a booboo, a bruise, or a scab? Their skin heals so much faster than somebody in their 20s or 30s. It’s because their skin is exploiting constantly. As we get older, it slows down exponentially. We need to exfoliate the skin to get rid of the old and let it go. I feel like this is called the letting go process so that the new or the renewed freshness can come up. Those are my two rituals from the book that I hope are very helpful.

I’m getting that book. You all need to get that book. That was such a tease. There was like a little flirt into it.

That’s my gift to you. We’re going to send you a little self-love package. I want to share with you that if your readers get the book, they can go to RadicalRadiance.com and click on Virtual Goody Bag, upload the receipt, and they will get an email with a Virtual Goody Bag worth $350 of recipes, videos, interviews I’ve done, and masterclasses I’ve given as my gift to them to make their journey a little bit more jucier.

That is generous and amazing. You all better do that now. I might have to have you back because there’s so much more I want to talk to you about. Do you want to part with any words of wisdom that you want to share?

Remember everything is energy. How you approach and see anything is everything. If you can let go, let go of the toxicity and negativity so that you can make room for magical radiance in your life.
