Hi friends, happy new year. This is episode number 146. Welcome to the Wabi Sabby podcast. Well, it has been a fabulous

24 so far. I hope you guys are staying warm and cozy. It has been cold in New York. I am ready

to sit by a fire and bake and do one pot meals

and get sweater cozy for the next few months together with you. I'm also very excited that we can

talk about a new year, a new mindset, a new refresh, and getting rid of the old that we do not need in our lives anymore think about like

the stale old unnecessary things we can let go of this year i'm going to help you do some mind

shifting i'll always talk about the things that others don't because they're either fake or

i suppose not truly in tune with

themselves I truly work through some sort of higher power that works through me I don't know

what it is but I just always trust and ask is today the day to record again and I said yes I

took two weeks off, which I very much

needed. And my hands on my heart, I thank you guys for the time off. I also hope and pray that you

had time off as well to be with your loved ones. It is so important to step away from the work

that you are doing every single day, to not post on social media, to let go of

the societal norms that you think you should be doing. And to do a little bit of a refresh,

I think that hanging out with family and friends for me is not an everyday occurrence my mom and dad live in san diego my sister

lives in london my dad's whole family pretty much lives on the east coast and my mom's family all of them

live in japan so it's been you know years of solitude my sister and i both are on our own

with no family nearby that we can see, you know,

say on a weekly or monthly basis. I think we've also been thrown to the wolves since we

turned 18 or 19. It's interesting when your parents cut you off because you have to decide

what to do with your lives.
