Summary

Episode Title: Most Intelligent Individuals Do This: Embrace Change Well In this episode of the Wabi Sabi podcast, I dive into the power of embracing change—something the most intelligent individuals master with grace. Growing up with immigrant parents, I learned early on that change is not only inevitable but essential for growth. We'll explore how to navigate life's transitions, especially when others try to put you down, discourage you, or talk down to you. It's about resilience, self-belief, and the courage to keep moving forward, even when the world pushes back. Tune in for insights on turning challenges into opportunities and standing tall in the face of adversity. Thank you for listening xx ck

0:00.0	Hi friends. Welcome to the Wabi-Sabi podcast. This is episode number 167. I'm also recording from a farm in Huntington, New York, in Long Island. So if you hear kids screaming, animals, cars driving by trucks, I am living it up. For me, wellness has always been about
0:25.2	being real deal wellness. So that includes spending time on the farm, contributing at food banks,
0:32.6	volunteering with people, spending time rescuing animals, doing as much volunteer work as I possibly can
0:38.5	to counter the sort of glitz and glam of my career. Today we'll be talking about the measure
0:47.1	of intelligence as the ability to change, once stated by Albert Einstein. Another point I'm going to talk a lot about today
0:56.6	is actually being raised by two immigrant parents in the United States and what that experience is like.
1:03.2	I think most people are not aware of the immigrant child experience. First generation my sister and I so we'll talk a little
1:14.3	bit about that too a lot of you have written to me about the sigh of relief that I spoke in episode
1:20.8	166 about why good things are coming your way and actually how and why you're going to have to make

1:48.8	like friends that fully support you no matter what, letting go of judgmental people, toxic
1:55.6	people, letting go of your own demons and working on facing your demons.
2:02.0	These are things that we can all do every day, tiny little things that can make a huge
2:06.6	difference. So I want us to remember the thought of the day today in today's podcast.
2:12.3	The measure of intelligence is the ability to change. If anything, I've had mentors and other women in the business,
2:22.9	say like Jenna Coocher, tell me to my face that I am the master of the pivot and creating change
2:30.2	and making change in my life and making the best of it. It's not that I want to be good at changing.
2:36.8	I don't want to be a chameleon.
2:39.0	I have to be a chameleon.
