Wabi Sabi - The Perfectly Imperfect Podcast with Candice Kumai

In episode three, I’ll chat more about how to be a self-made boss + how incredibly imperfect my journey has been. Like a rollercoaster. But I wouldn't have it any other way!

Here's what we will talk about:

• How to be a Better Boss + keep your character overall
• Simple steps you can take to be an even better person
• Books to read that I recommend (they have helped me in business + character)
• Do more of what you love in your pajamas every am
• An S-Corp vs being an independent contractor
• What tools, resources and business colleagues have helped me
• How to keep going when things get down or bad
• The two main things you must do to survive as a small business owner
• How to keep going with endurance
• What success really looks like - a visual for you to remember
• Having confidence that without light, darkness will not exist

Keep going no matter what, I'll share you notes on my best and worst moments in the duration of my wellness career.

I love you guys + hope this can help on your journey through life! Remember, wabi wabi, it will not be perfect.

It is the beginning of the podcast launch and my whole life. I first want to share why I started this podcast.. my whole career has been a waiting game... and I have made it to a point where I no longer wanted to wait for other people at the top, that had all the money and comfort they needed, to make decisions about my career .. it was time to take my career into my own hands.. and that's exactly what I did. thanks for your support on the launch of wabi sabi:

What you will learn more about is my past history of my childhood, my past  and my journey to writing 6 books and becoming what Elle mag calls me--"the golden girl of wellness." I’ll dive into how I was raised as a mixed kid and how I always felt so different. I want us all to note that my life and your life are both and all perfectly imperfect. There is a pathos to life, many ups and downs and that we can all accept so much more of what we cannot help.

In Japanese we call this "shikata ga ai"
