What if the life you see right now isn’t supposed to decide what you believe?

Most of us look at reality first.

If things are going well, we believe our life is going well.
If something painful happens, we start to doubt ourselves, our choices, and our future.

But lately, I’ve been wondering:

What if we have it backwards?

What if belief comes first?

In this episode, I talk about what I’m learning through my own experiment with belief, manifestation, and The Secret — from a difficult relationship at work, to the way my mother continued to believe through some of the hardest moments of her life.

I also share the story of my sister’s illness, and why watching my mother taught me something I’m only beginning to fully understand now:

Belief doesn’t mean ignoring reality.
And it doesn’t mean pretending difficult things aren’t happening.

It means refusing to let your current reality decide what you believe is possible.

Maybe miracles don’t always begin when reality changes.

Maybe they begin when someone refuses to stop believing before it does.

Thank you for spending this time with me.
I hope this episode gives you something to carry into your own life.

P.S. The anime I mentioned in this episode is Though I Am an Inept Villainess: Tale of the Butterfly-Rat Body Swap in the Maiden Court.
My favorite character is Kou Reirin.I love Shu Keigetsu too, though haha

For years, I thought “being myself” was something I needed to find.

But after trying new things, making mistakes, and stepping outside my comfort zone, I realized something.

You don’t discover who you are by waiting.

You discover yourself by living.

In this episode, I share what “being yourself” means to me today, why experience shapes our identity, and how even the smallest curiosity can lead you closer to the life that truly feels like your own.

Thank you for listening.

Lately, I’ve felt stuck.

Not because I’ve lost my dreams.

But because I stopped moving toward them.

In this episode, I share why I decided to start over, what I’ve learned about myself over the past few months, and why I’m beginning a personal experiment inspired by The Secret.

I don’t know if it will change my life.

But I’m willing to find out.

And I’ll share every step of that journey with you.

Thank you for listening.

For years, I believed I had to become “successful enough” before I deserved to fully love someone.

That belief came from a place of love.

I wanted to protect the people I cared about.

I wanted to give them a life where they would never have to worry.

But somewhere along the way, that dream quietly became a chain I placed on myself.

In this episode, I share where that belief came from, how it shaped the way I viewed love, and why I finally feel free to love without waiting for the “perfect” version of myself.

Thank you for listening.

For a long time, I believed the way people treated me determined how I responded.

But recently, I realized something that changed the way I see relationships.

I can’t choose how other people behave.

But I can always choose who I want to be.

In this episode, I share how one experience at work completely shifted my perspective on difficult people, why understanding is more powerful than resentment, and how choosing your own way of being can bring a deeper sense of peace.

Maybe true strength isn’t changing other people.

Maybe it’s refusing to let them change who you are.

Thank you for listening.

Some dreams never leave us.

They return every year, every new month, every time we tell ourselves, “This time will be different.”

For a long time, I couldn’t understand why.

If I truly wanted these dreams, why did I keep stopping?

In this episode, I talk about the difference between dreams that truly belong to you and dreams you’ve inherited from others, why we so often return to old habits, and how understanding homeostasis completely changed the way I see personal growth.

This isn’t an episode about motivation.

It’s about understanding yourself.

Because maybe the problem isn’t that you’re lazy.

Maybe you’ve simply been fighting against the way the human mind works.

And maybe…

the dream that keeps coming back isn’t something to ignore.

Maybe it’s the voice you should be listening to.

Starting something new is always a little scary.

Not because I think I’ll fail.

Simply because I’ve never done it before.

In this episode, I share why I finally decided to bring Soul Resonance Podcast to Instagram, why reaching more people has become important to me, and how a Japanese anime unexpectedly shaped the way I think about friendship, loyalty, and the kind of community I want to build.

If you’ve ever felt like the people you’re looking for don’t exist…

Maybe they’re looking for you too.

And if the life, the community, or the relationships you dream about don’t exist yet…

Maybe you’re the one who’s meant to create them.

Description

For years, I thought I was searching for the right career.

The right business.

The right path.

But eventually, I realized something.

I wasn’t just looking for work that felt meaningful.

I was looking for people.

Not more friends.

A tribe.

People who dream big.

People who challenge themselves.

People who want to build a life they genuinely love.

In this episode, I share the story behind A-SPACE, the community I’m building, and why I believe one of the most important things we can find in life isn’t success.

It’s belonging.

Thank you for sharing this time with me today.

In Japan, I often hear messages like:

“Start a side business before AI takes your job.”

“Prepare for the future.”

“Build multiple income streams before it’s too late.”

While I understand where these ideas come from, I’ve realized something important:

Preparing for the future matters.

But living in fear of the future is a very different thing.

In this episode, I share why I believe we shouldn’t sacrifice the present for a future that hasn’t arrived yet, and how I learned that some of life’s most meaningful moments aren’t found in grand achievements, but in the ordinary moments we often overlook.

Maybe the future matters.

But maybe today matters just as much.

For a long time, I thought living as myself meant finding a title, a purpose, or some grand achievement.

But over the years, I’ve realized something much simpler.

Maybe life isn’t about becoming someone.

Maybe it’s about experiencing life fully.

In this episode, I talk about:

* what “living as yourself” means to me

* why I don’t care much about status or titles

* the dreams I want to pursue, both big and small

* and the reason I’m building a community called A-SPACE

From learning drums, dancing, and traveling, to writing novels and chasing bigger dreams, I’ve come to believe that all dreams matter.

Because what matters isn’t how impressive they look.

What matters is that they make you feel alive.
