Hi, my name is John Kim. I'm a therapist who went through his own rebirth many years ago

0:05.6

and I've been documenting my journey ever since sharing my life lessons and revelations.

0:10.4

I believe in casual or clinical with you instead of at you. I come unrehearsed on purpose

0:16.4

because self-health doesn't have to be so complicated.

So there's this giant Cherry Tomato Bush in our front garden area that just came out of

0:31.8

nowhere we didn't plan it it has to be from

0:36.3

birds dropping seeds I guess I mean what is the other there's no other explanation or maybe an animal dropping seeds or they I don't know shit some seeds there but anyway
