Choosing to better understand ourselves - from the monks, from poets, artists and friends...
Understanding Your Darkness as Much as the Light - is what will set you apart from everyone else. It will keep you sharp, a futurist and ahead of the curve.

A poem by Rumi the guest house:
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond. - RUMI
Thank you for listening & I'll see you very soon!

A very special free gift: a free chapter of my new book spirited: out on audible.com/spirited drops April 27th 2023.
A spiritual wellness guide, Spirited shows you how to find more fulfillment and peace in modern life by applying timeless Buddhist wisdom.

Beneath Candice Kumai’s polished image as a wellness icon, she was tormented by anxiety, competitiveness and deep inner suffering. It wasn’t until she re-embraced the Buddhist principles she’d been taught in childhood that she began to change her life for the better—even making a pilgrimage to her mother’s home country of Japan to study in the mountains with Buddhist monks. Full of wisdom and raw honesty, Spirited recounts her journey and shares the Buddhist practices that transformed her life so you can, too.

"Candice Kumai is the wellness & spiritual teacher for the next generation, a PIONEER of her time." (Dr Andrew Weil, founder/director of the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine)

darkness has taken over the wellness space: and here we are having to clean up the toxicity & share more of what's real.
good deeds, good words and follow a good path ...
while we are not all perfect - we can do our best to be self aware -- to open our eyes and to find our own personal paths to well!
opportunities are created when we allow for good people and deserving ppl to shine - celebrate excellence above all things and be well - not perfect - but well xx ck

Now this podcast may seem a bit harsh - but as a writer I speak no lies and I wanted to get down to real biz here:
SWOT analysis - write this out and know your strengths and weaknesses as well
Create a Business Plan and get organized and specific
HIRE way way smarter and more experienced than you
Capital - do you have it? Do you need it? Where will your financial stability come from?
CPA //LEGAL
Also what kind of legacy do you want to leave?
Are you experienced in the field you wan to move into?

The world needs more healers, lovers and support systems - not necessarily products, billionaires or a******s. A great model: Dress for Success, Patagonia or the Insight Timer meditation app.

Keep it real - as Ali G says and think smart about your business before you jump in head first.

with love and thank you for listening - Candice
