Good morning. Ohio. Genki Deska. Comebama, Konbara. How are you guys? Welcome to the Wabi Sabby Pod. This is episode number 196. Five things to do now before 2026. We're going to get real about what to do before the new year to feel more grounded, happy, and truly feel like

yourself again. These are five things that have changed my life in reflection throughout the

So at the end of November, you can get ready to do things that really help you to shift and change.

I've noticed something disturbing when I've gone out with individuals younger than me over the past few weeks.

They love to keep their phones screen up on top of the table where we're at having a brunch or doing a happy hour or at a dinner.
