Coach MK tells you a fun story about her struggle to remember the Japanese word for ‘map’, and challenges you to see if maybe you are making any totally unavoidable mistakes in your own life right now.

Discovering the concept of Tsundoku has unlocked many of Coach MK’s memories of her 4 years in Tokyo. Today, she talks about the distance between Honne (what a person believes) and tatamae (what a person does and says due to societal demands) and challenges everyone (especially women) listening to look for the same patterns in their own behavior.

With no end to the shutdown in sight, Coach MK has another idea for all of her furloughed friends and clients. There is gold in this situation. Let’s find it. When you do, post a photo and tag @coachmkfleming or @morningmantrapod on Instagram or @coachedandloved on Facebook.

The government shutdown is impacting a LOT of Coach MK’s friends and clients. You’re going to learn another cool Japanese word for this situation as well as a rhyme you can use to greet absolutely EVERYONE between now and the date you receive your backpay.

Coach MK had a secret shame until she discovered her shame was actually a revered character trait in Japan. ***Head over to www.facebook.com/coachedandloved and rsvp for her special tsundoku #hopepunk book club event next Sunday!
