Summary

SHARE! This podcast on IG + I'll repost xxx I'm going to share three stories related to San Francisco in which three different men tried to dim my bright light. Here's what you can do to overcome and grow//learn//love and shine!: -Take pride in all that you do, always give 100 - Thank the haters, thank them, say thank you - Take the high road - Read: Dale Carnegie "How to Win Friends and Influence People" - Read: Don Miguel Ruiz "The Four Agreements" - Keep making decisions that propel you into the light and the right direction. - Ignore, take the high road and learn from them. All the Stars ✨✨✨✨ ..... when you told me I’d never make it, I smiled inside and gracefully went back to my desk. when you didn’t give me the opportunities others in my space got, I created my own. when you told me I should get a real day job, a was already working 15 + launched my INC at 23. when you discriminated against me because I was an Asian female, but tried to hide that, I knew & it pushed me closer to my heritage. when you tried to ride my coattail, and abuse my kindness, I silently knew + I handled it with grace. when you didn’t support me through the tough times, I took notes. If you want to be of “influence” I suggest you go back to your desk/kitchen/school/studio/creative space/inward + work smarter + harder, for 10 years ++ show us what you’re made of. Educate yourself. when the battery dies, how valuable is your heart? How profound your work? It took me a really, really, really long time to get here + I’m still struggling to be my best self.... if you have IT—- keep shining.

0:00.0	Hey guys, what's up from Stinson Beach and San Francisco. It's Candace K. And welcome to the Wabi
0:12.9	Savi Pod episode 30. Yo dude, we made it to 30 episodes. Can you believe it? And I'm at my favorite hotel room
0:21.8	staring out at the Bay Bridge right now, and magic is about to happen. So today I wanted to
0:28.1	talk about all the stars and how you shine so bright when you are your lightest and brightest
0:34.8	in life. And you automatically liberate others, as Marianne Williamson says,
0:40.9	when you shine. People obviously are going to try to dim your light and tear you down. And so many
0:48.0	of you write to me all the time about how I get through the tough times. And what I can tell you is there is no magic pill,
0:58.3	as we say it latter. There's no secret. There's no navigation process that everybody has to follow.
1:07.2	Everyone's path is going to be different. And that's what makes you in life so beautiful that's what
1:14.5	makes life so exciting as well but today I really want to talk about how your light and when you
1:20.2	shine it bright is what makes you so incredibly beautiful I want to start with a couple of stories that are tied to San

1:43.2	And we went to Lodi every Christmas to visit my
1:47.0	parents' friends, John and Cynthia. We stayed on their farm every single Christmas. And NorCal is where
1:54.4	my sister went to Cal Berkeley. And it's where I fell in love with cooking. I was on the first season of Top Chef, which was here
2:04.3	in San Francisco when I was 22 years old. I went through a painful time. I'll start with three
2:13.9	stories that are tied to San Fran about three different individuals who tried to
2:20.0	dim my light and I'll explain to you how I kept shining through the tough times so that you
2:28.2	can do the same when people try to do that to you or when you just feel like you can't go any
2:34.1	further in life and you just need
2:36.8	somebody to help you move into the next level, into the next sector, into the next chapter,
