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.

Recently, I found myself reflecting on a question that started with history, but led me somewhere much deeper.

Why do people judge so quickly?

Why do we assume we understand someone after reading a single post, hearing one opinion, or seeing one moment of their life?

In this episode, I share a conversation that reminded me of something important:

Real connection is not built through agreement.

It’s built through conversation.

We talk about social media, assumptions, loneliness, curiosity, and why I believe the strongest relationships are built when people are willing to ask:

“What made you think that?”

instead of immediately deciding who’s right or wrong.

Maybe love isn’t agreeing with someone.

Maybe love is continuing to try to understand them.

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about suffering, unfairness, and what it really means to live a meaningful life.

The world is not equal.

Some people are born healthy.

Some are not.

Some people grow up safe.

Others grow up surrounded by war, pain, or poverty.

And honestly… sometimes I wonder what we’re actually supposed to do with that reality.

In this episode, I talk about:

* the limits of what one person can do

* why comparing ourselves to others often feels meaningless

* the emotional weight of trying to “save” everyone

* and why I believe learning to genuinely make yourself happy is not selfish,but necessary

Because maybe…

before changing the world,

we first need to stop abandoning ourselves.

This episode is a quiet reflection on happiness, responsibility, humanity, and learning how to live honestly in an imperfect world.

Thank you for listening.

For the past six years, I’ve been searching for something:

A life that actually feels like mine.

In this episode, I share the story behind finally launching my own project, and how years of feeling lost, confused, and stuck slowly led me toward clarity.

We talk about:

* Growing up in a financially unstable household after my father’s business collapsed

* How that changed the way I see money, love, and freedom

* Why I couldn’t force myself to work only for money

* The pressure women face in Japan to fit into society’s expectations

* And how I finally discovered the kind of work that genuinely excites me

I still haven’t achieved my dreams yet.

But for the first time in a long time, I feel like my life is finally moving in the right direction.

And honestly that feeling alone already makes me happy.

If you’ve ever felt lost, behind in life, or unsure about your future,

I hope this episode reminds you that clarity sometimes takes time.

Thank you for listening.

What happens when your income suddenly drops to zero?

In this episode, I share a personal story about going from a stable monthly income to nothing and why it turned out to be one of the most important experiences in my life.

We talk about:

* Why things that “don’t feel right” eventually fall apart

* The danger of following “standard paths” that don’t fit you

* How to reshape what you do so it actually aligns with who you are

* Why trusting yourself matters—especially when there’s no precedent

* And what it really means to be the creator of your own life

If you’re in a phase where things feel uncertain, unstable, or not working.This episode is for you.

Because sometimes, losing everything is exactly what you need to realign with what truly matters.

In real world. One day :)

PS

I love dreamers who have beautiful souls.

Let’s go everybody!

Chasing your dream with easy way.

Funny way.

And Just grab it.

Sometimes we say we’ve “given up.”

On our dreams.

On the life we truly want.

On the version of ourselves we secretly still imagine becoming.

But have we really?

Or are we just pretending not to see it anymore?

In this episode, I talk about why I believe “giving up” doesn’t truly exist — and why the real pain may come from ignoring what your heart actually wants.

We talk about:

* Why dreams don’t simply disappear

* The fear of trying vs. the fear of regret

* Why chasing your dreams can feel like gambling

* The pain of pretending you no longer care

* And why the process itself is never meaningless

I’m still in the middle of my own journey too.

I haven’t achieved my dreams yet.

But I’d rather move forward scared than spend my life wondering “what if.”

If you’ve been feeling stuck, afraid, or uncertain lately—

maybe this episode is for you.

Thank you for listening.

Quick note before this episode:

The previous episode unfortunately didn’t upload properly.I’m really sorry if you were waiting for it.

What do you do when it feels like nothing is working?

When you’re putting in the effort,

trying your best,

but the results just aren’t there yet.

And then people around you start saying,

“Maybe it’s time to stop.”

In this episode, I share a very real and personal perspective

on what it means to keep going—

especially when no one else can see your progress.

Because the truth is,

most people don’t see your journey.

They only see your results.

And sometimes,

the people telling you to quit

have never experienced what it’s like

to stay committed through uncertainty.

So how do you keep going

when it feels like you’re not moving forward?

This episode is for anyone

who’s chasing something that matters—

even when it doesn’t look like it’s working yet.
