Hi guys, it's Candace K and welcome to the Wabi-Sabi podcast episode number 41.

Yeah, girls, we've fucking made it to 41. I am in Brooklyn and Williamsburg, the place where all the magic always happens.

I just flew in from San Francisco and I'm working with a couple of my clients here, especially Belvedere, and we've got juicy stuff, no pun intended, coming your way.

I did want to make this podcast really sweet and active and actionable for you

because I'm going through so many changes and lots of growth right now,

and I think it's really important that we all learn and grow together. So what I really want to

chat about today is overcoming a lot of obstacles and how we can turn the obstacle into an opportunity.

Now, this is something that isn't new. Actually, Deepak Shopra has a meditation based on this which is why I bring it up as to

especially the one with myself especially the one with myself, which has been rocked over the last few years.

I often struggle with how big I want my career to be and how I love my privacy and I love being a regular person.

I've got my ninth wedding that I'll be in as a bridesmaid coming up.

And also, I always want to be there for my friends.

Like, they're having amazing things and opportunities happening to them.

And so I put a lot of pressure on myself to

constantly be. I kind of take that back. You don't prepare for these things to happen. You

see to yourself. It's like how I handle it. Everything in life is about how you handle things.

And so if you want to grow up and you want to be a better person inside, you will have to

realize that bad things will happen.

They are destined to happen.

I wrote for, I mean, I was on the masthead at Shape and Men's Health and Men's Health for many years,

and we were trained to be positive people and to always talk about positivity and growth.

And we're often spoken to about being positive all the time
