Hi guys, what's up? It's Candice Kumai. This is the Wabi-Soppy

podcast, episode number 63. In reviewing my podcast over the last three years, I discovered

that there was one episode that really stuck out to all of you.

And it was called 10 Things I Wish I Could Tell My Younger Self, Orange Spray Tan, Candice.

I really thought this was great for reflection, especially during the holidays, when people tend to get

really lonely, anxious, scared, they don't have a ton of money, they don't have anybody to spend

time with, they don't have a place to go, they don't have an extra vacation home, I'm there

with you, don't worry, I have one apartment I live in and pay rented. I get it.

I've never been part of a family that did extravagant things. We did small little things that made a

big difference. Like just having a conversation with my sister I haven't seen in two years was really special to me. So today

we're going to focus on 10 things. I wish I told my younger self through the holidays. It's really

hard when you're the younger sister and you had this like insurmountable amount of media when you were young and now I

have to live up to these standards I've created for myself and I've put a lot of pressure on myself

to stay at the top. I don't know about you, but I know that the golden standard is the only way

that I will live my life.

If I could talk to little Candace, because there have been painful moments here and there

where I've seen her come out. We'll talk through those 10 things today so that you can make

notes on talking to your younger self, talking to that little

girl. Can you just close your eyes for a second? And if you're driving, don't. Imagine you

when you were really little. And imagine some of the sad times that you've had.

I can vividly remember second grade wearing this like little flower robe I loved,

looking out of the window at my first house that I grew up in in San Diego and watching the rainfall
