What happens when you step out of the city and into something much bigger than yourself?

In this episode, I share a quiet moment from a recent run by the ocean in Iwaki.
Listening to the waves of the Pacific, I was reminded that not everything is within our control—and maybe that’s exactly what we need sometimes.

If you’ve been feeling like you have to hold everything together, keep pushing, and figure it all out… this episode is for you.

A gentle reflection on letting go, reconnecting with something bigger, and continuing forward in your own way.

What you’ll hear in this episode
– The pressure of “having to manage everything”
– What the ocean reminded me about control and limits
– Why small steps are enough
– The importance of intentionally creating space to pause

In this episode, I talk with Daniel from the United States, who has been living in Japan for seven years.

Daniel took the Trust Coaching program about a year and a half ago, so we look back on that experience and reflect on what he learned from it.

Because he is bilingual, I also asked him an interesting question:
How might Trust Coaching reach people outside Japan?

We talk about the differences between English communication culture and Japanese communication culture, and how these differences influence the way people think about relationships and coaching.

It was a very thoughtful and interesting conversation.

If you are curious about coaching across cultures, this episode may give you a new perspective.

Eight years have passed since I became a certified coach with Trust Coaching School.

In this episode, I reflect on why I continue — or rather, why I keep choosing — Trust Coaching.

Coaching is not about having a perfect life or always knowing the answers.
It is about creating time to think, to ask better questions, and to build healthier relationships.

In a world where answers come instantly, Trust Coaching offers something different: space.
Space to reflect.
Space to discover your own voice.
Space to live with more clarity.

Since we are alive, maybe we deserve to live well.

If you are curious about coaching, self-trust, or personal growth, this episode is for you.

Why did I choose Trust Coaching?

In this episode, I share why this Japanese coaching style feels meaningful to me, and why I believe it can support healthier relationships in today’s world.

Many coaching methods focus strongly on the individual. While independence is important, we can sometimes feel lonely or disconnected.

Trust Coaching is rooted in the Japanese value of harmony. It encourages us to care about ourselves while also caring about the people around us.

This episode is about balance, connection, and living well — not perfectly, but thoughtfully.

If you are curious about coaching, relationships, or building self-trust, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I’m joined by Noriko to talk about her parenting coaching delivered in English.
We share our experience and reflect on how coaching works beyond language, culture, and borders.
Because no matter where we’re from, we all need support, reflection, and connection as parents—and as people.

We recorded a podcast episode with Misae, a coach based in France, where we talk about Trust Coaching School and her personal journey with coaching.

Misae has used coaching at key moments in her life—not because she had all the answers, but because she wanted to expand her own possibilities.

In this episode, she shares her real-life experiences and reflects on why coaching became something that gently but firmly pushed her forward when she was standing at a crossroads.

If you’re feeling stuck, considering your next step, or simply curious about what coaching really feels like, this conversation is for you.

🎧 We invite you to listen and experience it for yourself.

Tomoko, a certified coach from Trust Coaching School, specializes in English coaching for her clients. In our discussion, we delved into the psychological challenges of learning English.
