Summary

taking a break from NY to travel +restart my perspective on life wasn’t easy: gratefully, I’ve found, it’s been worth it. here’s what I’ve learned so far + hope this can help you on your next reset: 1- Very Little: there’s very little that’s actually important: health, family, friends, laughter, being yourself, creating, freedom + chillin 2- Being Genuinely Happy For Others: to me, this feels really fking good. I want everyone to find great love + from the depths of my soul, I wish for all to find contentment in their hearts, even when our paths are not the same. Embrace one another. 3- I Can’t Change People: I can work to better myself + accept that everyone is doing their best. I can work on my heart + mind at anytime. 4- Expectation Isn’t Reality. I gotta meditate and surf on this more! but perception is also not reality. This, I found, I like who I am in real life way more than for work. + maybe there’s a a hybrid to mesh more of both in my upcoming endeavors. 5- Showing: the space I’ve given myself, being in nature + w all my childhood friends has shown me my capacity to love, the true love between my surfboards + I never died. I moved to NY to make my dreams come true + I picked them right back up. I hope you can give yourself this same time/space to do the same.. be gentle, be kind. 6- Go Slow: Rushing never did anything but stress all of us NY magazine editors out; for what? For an issue to hit stands like OMG!! Slow + steady, thoughtful, stillness, meaningful work, more time can work more magic. 7- this life: it’s not perfect, it’s draining, it’s gonna suck + totally f you over — and you’re gonna come out of it golden. I’m on 3 startups: LA, NY, Paris, Tokyo, Poland + no guys, sh ain’t easy - but it’s worth it. like all imp things in life. . If I’m living proof, —- good things happen to good people. You don’t have to do what everyone else is doing. You don’t have to take everyone’s advice. let go You will have to be patient + try to help as many people as you can. Found within the blurred lines —-there is a pursuit of greatness + to find that one last deep breath. We’ve got a big calling ahead of us ♥️

0:00.0	Hey guys, what's up? It's Candace Kay. This is episode 28 of the Wabi-sobby-sob fucking podcast, your favorite place to let loose and hear about real deal shit. You know what's amazing is I just recorded 30 plus minutes of the podcast and then I realized that it wasn't recording anymore.
0:22.8	Oh my God.
0:24.7	You saw me, right?
0:26.1	Shkatakanae.
0:27.2	It was so juicy, too, that I was like, oh, man, how do I, like, start the juice all over again?
0:32.7	Well, I just wiped it, deleted it, and started over.
0:36.1	Oh, I'm sure this has happened to you guys a million
0:38.8	times where you finished an email or a document or some sort of art design or maybe it was a

1:08.2	And then I'm going to answer your questions and we're going to get excited about some new endeavors that are coming up.
1:12.0	First and foremost, what's important to you is going to be a short list of family, friends, health, laughter, being yourself, being vulnerable, creating freedom,
1:20.6	and just straight chilling. A lot of that also leads with no expectations in life, and a lot of it also we have to think
1:31.5	about things like maybe, just maybe, the smaller and shorter are list of things that are
1:38.1	important to us and truly important to us. We could maybe like simplify our lives together a little bit. And instead of
1:47.6	being mad that I just lost all the podcast recording right now, I just said to myself, you know what,
1:54.0	Shikata Ganai. It cannot be helped, which is a chapter in my new book, Kinski Wellness.
1:59.7	The Japanese learned to let go and care less
2:02.9	and just move forward. So here we are. She got the good night. Wabi-sabi. Shit ain't perfect.
