Transformations with Jayne episodes

  • Moving to Sweden, more lessons in trust
    A solo episode for you this week!
    I'm talking about a shock we had recently that means we need to move to Sweden one month earlier than planned! 
    So today I'm talking about some of the lessons I learnt about
    "Letting others down" and trusting the process.

  • Interview with Melissa Uchiyama

    One thing I love about podcasting is getting to know all the wonderful women who are out there doing things in their own corner of Japan. Without this podcast I wouldn't get that chance! 

    Melissa Uchiyama is a writer, a US National Board Certified educator, and mom who has made Japan her home for eleven years after growing up, getting her education, and marrying near the beaches of South Florida.

    In the episode today Melissa and I talk about: 

    Her road to finding her feet in Japan 

    How she created a writing camp in Tokyo  

    How we deal with "Bad Japan days"

    Creating a community around baking

    Her new project “Eat en”: https://www.instagram.com/melissa.uchiyama.946/

    More info about Melissa:

    Melissa is on a mission to document and showcase the beauty found in kitchens throughout Tokyo with her big Eat•en project! She believes that value is found in the process of creating, making, and procuring that which feeds us, while also believing that our food provides a window into culture, heritage, and the soul of a person, people, or a family, she has begun a project that brings her into the real cooking and dining spaces throughout Tokyo, where she documents the people, stories, and craft behind each meal, drink, or snack.


    More to come soon!

    *If you have special food that reflects your immigration story or family heritage in Japan or anywhere in the world, and you are based in or near Tokyo, wanting to welcome Melissa into your home kitchen, she would love to hear from you!

  • Fresh starts and crossing the finish line in style

    I'm recording these episodes as I experience them in real time, as I wanted to share with you all the process of an international move (with 2 kids).  Even if you are not moving, perhaps you are going through some kind of transition or have one coming up! 

    Today I'm talking about: 

    How we have a choice to feel stress  

    How we can choose to "cross the finish line" when it comes to long transition phases

    A chance I found for a "Fresh start" and a re-calibration of my morning routine 

    A new routine I'm starting to get more quiet time in the evening - yay!

    There's even a fun moment when the doorbell rings in this episode, but I deliberately left it in there because whatever happens on the TWJ podcast, perfection is not one of my goals! You'll have to listen to find out who it was.

  • Do you make decisions based on "time and money"? （日本語サマリー）
    You may have noticed my IG feed has been rather obsessed with the #manusamoa team who have been staying here for 5 days for their pre World Cup Training camp. I didn't think I'd be so excited about this in the lead up to the event but going out and meeting the players and their staff, and creating that connection was just so much fun.
    This week I'm talking about some recent opportunities and the benefits of  
    - Taking up the opportunity to learn something new
    - What we miss when we make decisions based on "time and money" 
    - Unexpected bonuses of leaving your comfort zone and unexpected new connections
    Watch this space, I'm manifesting a trip to a NZ or Samoa RWC game ;)
