Hi, my name is John Kim. I'm a therapist who went through his own rebirth many years ago

and I've been documenting my journey ever since sharing my life lessons and revelations.

I believe in casual or clinical with you instead of at you. I come unrehearsed on purpose

because self-health doesn't have to be so complicated.

It's 823 a.m. and I am inside a car in a parking structure outside a recording studio in the armpit of Los Angeles known as Hollywood and I'm feeling dread in my body.

I'm about to go into a full day of doing the audio for my book and I know you're thinking

you complainer what are you complaining about you you know you had the privilege of writing a book and now it's

turning into an audio book which is the natural process of every book and you're complaining about

reading a book today John do you understand there are people with a lot less

and a lot less and worse situations not complaining and yes I am very aware of that and I do not like that about myself.

It's something that I continually try to work on is not dipping into my old default, which is dread. not getting up and

up and saying oh I got to do this.

I am better at catching myself but because before I would allow myself to say I got to do

this and then live there at least today I am able to be aware of it more and then do what I can to pull myself out of that quicksand.

By the way, I feel like, or it's going to sound like I'm in that movie, Chud.

I think that's an 80s movie, obscure movie I don't know why I thought of that but I remember that movie takes place like underneath the sewage system with like weird creatures and there's all these strange noises in the background and I apologize in

advance if you hear that in the background of this podcast episode because there is strange sounds and

construction and just random echoes of stuff happening. Okay a couple things I want to say before we get into it

number one and it is pretty random but I just had a thought in my car I think Kejanu Reeves is more enlightened than Eckhart Toli. I do because I feel like people

who announce, you know, like, I think the actual announcement of something

contradicts truth. It's like when you say, okay, look, I'm not trying to be mean, but right, and then you are mean or like, you know.

And the thing about Keanu Reeves is, have you ever heard any bad press about Keanu Reeves?
