A very Happy New Years from the Breakfast With Tiffany Show! This is our first episode for this year 2023 and we have Tiffany share what she has been up to during the holidays up in the frosty Higashi Hiroshima at the Temple Aki Kokubunji for almost a week and the upcoming Digital Detox retreat in spring!
So stay tuned to the transformative events that we have lined up this year for the Zenscape Wellness Retreat programs. 
Our reviewer this week says that there is something about this podcast that helps them learn and grow as a person everyday.
Such a lovely comment and we are so glad to know that what Tiffany is trying to achieve on this platform is uplifting our avid listeners.
Going back to the topic, we learn that Tiffany had visited this temple last year as well, with a lovely buddhist family that welcomed her with so much hospitality.
During this time, Tiffany had a Digital Detox, which means she unplugged from her social media for the time she was at the temple. She reflects on how much change she has felt over the years, and the benefits from taking such a break.
And lastly, we find out that Tiffany got to return back to her routine of waking up early due to the temple's morning chants at 6am in the morning.

Thank you again for tuning in and do not forget to share with us what your goals are and your word for this year is!
And as we say here in Japan,  “Kotoshi mo Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu!”
今年もよろしくお願いします。

Happy Holidays! This is our last episode for 2022 with over 104 episodes aired and 19 amazing guests invited to share their unique stories on this podcast!
We begin this episode discussing Christmas in Japan, Kenya and the Philippines then reminiscing on past podcast episodes that left a strong impression, which was not easy to pick. Minami mentioned the 100th episode that featured Ms. Darlene, has a key moment of vulnerable stories revealed. While Tiffany brings up the episode with her longtime friend and Hollywood actor Justin Berti and the grief coach Jenetta Barry who invited Tiffany to celebrate World Mental Health Day.
We go on to share upcoming projects that the show might be showcasing next year, and the Kanji (Chinese character) that was chosen for this year, 戦 “sen” which translates to battle/struggle, and Tiffany sharing her word of 2022 as “surrender” to things in life we have no control over. For next 2023, we will pick a word or Kanji to represent what we hope to achieve and stay true to.

Lastly, we would love to hear from you as to what you think about the T-Time Tuesday series. Are there any stories that you could relate to? What would you like for us to cover in the future?  As always, we love and thank you for your support and joining us time and time again! Until next time, keep safe and be kind to yourself with love.

For this episode we have the lovely Felicity from Australia who is currently living in Kyoto join us to share with us their experiences as a filmmaker and their unique experiences of living in Japan! 

During 2020, Tiffany met Felicity in an online filmmakers community event where they connected and have gotten to collaborate since.  Tiffany begins by asking how Felicity found herself in Japan and started her journey as a filmmaker.  We learn that Felicity first lived in Wakayama prefecture, and this connects to Felicity's experience living in the “Koya san” with Japanese Monks for seven months where she shares the behind the scenes such as the misconceptions of living as a Monk, the expectations, the reality of working at a temple, the drama, and so on. The conversation continues to cover the rural countryside lifestyle in Japan, Felicity’s filmmaker projects, what she has learnt from “culture kids” which refers to people who grow up in a country that is not the passport of their parents and her thoughts on identity and belongingness. Moreover, Felicity is currently working on a new project which involves a tiktok series called “disconnected” a musical with the theme of technology and how it both can bring us close together yet create misunderstandings. Lastely,  we get to hear Tiffany and Felicity discuss the Kyoto photoshoot that was taken in November and the wonderful locations they visited in Kyoto. 

Felicity Tillack is an Australian writer, editor and filmmaker based in Japan since 2006. Her blog and Youtube channel, Where Next Japan, showcases Japan, its culture and lifestyle. She also wrote and directed a feature film, Impossible to Imagine, in 2019, which is now streaming on Amazon Prime. Felicity loves living in Japan, though she misses Australian snacks (and her family).

This week, Tiffany has invited a prominent LGBTQ+ advocate in Japan as a guest to discuss the amazing initiatives he is conducting to support marriage equality! 

Born and raised in Kamakura, Kanagawa, Masa San has a perfect place for Tokyoites to go to LGBTQ+ friendly ‘Hayama Beach House’ that celebrated their 10th anniversary! The conversation focuses on Masa San’s career, his TedTalk 10yrs ago and his experience when coming out in Japan. Such courage brought Masa San, on one hand, face struggles with those who could not accept him and on the other, getting to connect even more deeply with the people around him. 
Moreover, Masa San shares his advocacy to educate about the social, economical and cultural advantages for Japan to offer such rights. Masa San hopes for Japan to achieve marriage equality, legal protection like anti-discrimination for the LGBTQ+ community, and transgender transitions that does not require surgery. And finally, we are left with an inspiring message to not give up on one’s dreams, even in a society that might convince you otherwise. Let us celebrate the significant strides the LGBTQ+ community has achieved, to have more discussions, and keep supporting all for their right to love, to live and to be a family. 

Masa Yanagisawa has been driving LGBTQ+ inclusion both within a financial firm, as well as externally. He has secured LGBTQ+ events in Japan, including the Tokyo Pride Parade and 30th Tokyo International Lesbian & Gay Movie Festival. In addition, he advocated for intersectionality and provided strategic advice on the firm's global self-identification campaign across diverse groups. He has worked with office network leads across eight APAC locations in key initiatives: Pride Month and Pink Friday, which engages internal and external workplaces to wear pink t-shirts to promote LGBTQ+ awareness. Masa is an active member of NGOs to promote LGBTQ+ rights, and published two articles in Nikkei Asia.
