This podcast practices authentic communication in a non-judgmental environment where people from all backgrounds can express themselves in the most honest and genuine way. I believe that authentic self expression is fundamental to a fulfilling life. I want to create a place where people can feel GOOD about truly being themselves and being heard with their honest opinions. The conversation is open but my personal bend is on topics around self-development and relationships. Be free! Be a natural!

    EPS 64 :: I think I'm autistic

    Feeling Like Everyone Else Got the Instruction Manual to Life | Am I Autistic or something? I spent my early adulthood completely lost. I questioned everything — why society is organized the way it is, why people believe what they believe, who makes the rules, and how anyone is supposed to know right from wrong. It felt like everyone else was handed a secret user manual for life… except me. Growing up with a single mom who was never home and a father who taught me almost nothing. Then, at age 10, moving from Japan to Canada — suddenly having to adapt to a whole new culture while feeling like a perpetual outsider. Being bullied, misunderstood, and constantly observing from the edges made me build my entire sense of reality from the ground up. I share how this mix of minimal parenting, cultural whiplash, and immigrant experiences left me deconstructing every social norm, belief, and system just to make sense of the world. Was it autism? Was it trauma? Or was it simply what happens when you’re given no scaffolding and forced to figure it all out yourself? Looking back at my old journals from 17 years ago, I see how intensely I questioned everything — and how that painful process eventually became one of my greatest strengths: an independent mind that doesn’t blindly accept “because that’s just how it is.” If you’ve ever felt like you missed the manual to life…If you’re a 1.5-generation immigrant, Third Culture Kid, or anyone who had to rebuild their worldview from scratch…You might relate.

    EPS 63 :: stay in your lane, boy

    You try to help but often people don't really appreciate it. Even your friends. A lot of people are just focused on taking energy and not contributing anything. Which leads me to this conclusion. Stay in my lane, boy. Just do my thing. Leave those who can't be on the level in the dust. I ain't bitter. I just ain't got time for dumb shit.

    EPS 61 :: Jaded about love

    Jaded romance is my lack of presence and attachment to outcome. I will prove myself wrong about women being hardened. That modern dating is ruined. That the world is going to shit. I will prove all of it wrong. I will prove that being jaded is reversible. I will prove that great things are possible.

    EPS 60 : The Next Decade

    For the next decade, I have to do whatever it takes to be the OWNER. Mainly an owner of my own business that serves directly to the people who will benefit from it. Not an assistant. Not a worker with a single function. I must serve directly to benefit people. That's the only way I will be truly free. This will take a massive transformation.
