Episode Title: Most Intelligent Individuals Do This: Embrace Change Well In this episode of the Wabi Sabi podcast, I dive into the power of embracing change—something the most intelligent individuals master with grace. Growing up with immigrant parents, I learned early on that change is not only inevitable but essential for growth. We'll explore how to navigate life's transitions, especially when others try to put you down, discourage you, or talk down to you. It's about resilience, self-belief, and the courage to keep moving forward, even when the world pushes back. Tune in for insights on turning challenges into opportunities and standing tall in the face of adversity. Thank you for listening xx ck

EP 05 - How to make it BIG in Biz + Stay Real AF: The Art of Not Conforming

Episode 5

mercredi 15 décembre 2021Duration 31:39

⚡the art of not conforming:

My career, as an artist I went w my heart, even if it got smashed, which it did many times.

As a female in the food industry, the pain/discrimination was part of my path.

This year, with new endeavors + content w @SXSW, @Forbes, @Girlboss, @ariannahuff, @iamwellandgood Council + the new book @harpercollinsus Oprah Magazine, Today Show + Dr. Oz: I’m committed to sharing my story, in hopes you can see, a girl who started from the bottom, waiting tables in college, fit modeling to pay bills, paying for culinary school on my own, this girl does it all:

Here's what we will learn in episode #5: 

Here are my Best Tips on "Making Shit Happen":

1- Execution trumps all talk. If you want to be a killer, you need to produce. Anyone can talk or troll, but it takes a true artist to pick up the brush, the mic, the camera, the knife, the pen + get going. DO SOMETHING, just start.

2- Ignore the haters. If I listened to all the mean shit people laid on me for years, I'd never equate to anything. You have to ignore+remember that's about them, not you. Pray for them. 🙏🏼

3- Integrity+Grit: those two things set me apart from the rest. I always did my best & never cut slack. I'm as hard on myself as I am my team. I expect excellence, that's what the reader deserves. Recipes that work, images that captivate, content that matters! Writing that changes the world, and evokes emotion, connection + action. That's what grit+integrity do. I write ALL of my own work, recipes, my site, my newsletters, I produce/direct each of my books & shoot my own content/videos⚡the art is in the artist.

4- Skills: I learned them. I went to culinary school at 22 -- I was  young+thirsty. I worked in restaurants +production for years, I educated myself on Japan, nutrition+wellness. I didn't come from money, I had to teach myself skills. Much like Japan, a country w no natural resources; they were out of luck- until they realized SKILL was what they could offer the world. Guess what? At the size of California, they are still a world power today. Get some skills, use them, humbly+gracefully.

5- Humility + Grace: This is what my character is made out of. Mom + Dad taught me to love, to be kind, to be respectful. Although I hate rules, I respect everyone, even when they were shitty to me.

Grace Always Matters. You will in this life, get what you give.

Be honest, be real, and you don't have to conform for anyone 🦄 

My new book, Kintsugi Wellness has 12 chapters on how to heal, mend, grow + become a better person + 50+ inspiring wellness recipes.

Episode 2:

It is the beginning of the podcast launch and my whole life. I first want to share why I started this podcast.. my whole career has been a waiting game... and I have made it to a point where I no longer wanted to wait for other people at the top, that had all the money and comfort they needed, to make decisions about my career .. it was time to take my career into my own hands.. and that's exactly what I did. thanks for your support on the launch of wabi sabi!

EP 65- Your Superpower Will Save Your Life + They're Free

Episode 65

mardi 14 décembre 2021Duration 41:46

super powers are beyond becoming a millionaire or being a "CEO" - you can't take this stuff with you when you die and there are far more important things in life; like inspiration, saving lives, being a good person, kindness, love and light 

I've collected deep thought into what your superpowers can be - the ones money can't buy and most cannot see- but rather the ones you can feel , deeply and spiritually connected to.  While some of you may be feeling down in this pandemic - I'm here to tell you you are not alone - spend less time on social media and you will save your own life with just that one superpower:

take a deep breath and let's relieve some stress together xx 

Maybe your Superpower is: 

falling apart & learning to putting things back together

lobster rolls - just a side note maybe its lobster rolls 

thriving in chaos

messages from the universe: be more observant, take more intel on these notes that come to you from the wabi sabi podcast 

be more self aware : don't be blind to the messages that are being sent your way: gratitude you have so much to offer the world

peace - can start with you - help others, this is your most powerful resource

maybe your superpower is to be of better service and to help your favorite causes

skills that money cannot buy & realizing that being broke is actually a blessing 

look deeply, inward- into your past to solve your present + do the work - stop judging as much as you can but know we all do it. 

We are human and we are not wired to be perfect - we are wired to malfunction and that is perfectly imperfectly ok. 

xx ck
