    Until We Meet Again :)

    This is not the end of Soul Resonance. But for now, I’ve decided to put this podcast on pause. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been going through a difficult period in my life, and honestly, I’ve been carrying a lot of negative energy. Usually, even when things aren’t going well, if I can still find something interesting in the experience — if I can laugh about it, learn from it, or somehow enjoy the process — I’m happy to share it here. But right now, it feels different. Lately, I haven’t had much positive energy to give. And I don’t want to sit behind this microphone every week and force myself to create energy that I genuinely don’t have. That wouldn’t feel honest to me. Soul Resonance has always meant more to me than simply uploading an episode every week. I started this podcast because I wanted to share something real. And somewhere in my heart, I’ve always hoped that the people listening on the other side of this microphone might someday become people I actually get to meet. That dream hasn’t changed. So I don’t want to keep this podcast going just for the sake of keeping it going. I want to come back when I have something inside me that I genuinely want to give again. When I have the energy to talk, laugh, think, explore, and share myself with you. I don’t know when that will be. And I don’t want to promise a date just for the sake of having one. But this is not goodbye. And before I go, I really want to say this from my heart: Thank you. To every single person who has listened to this podcast. To those of you who came back for another episode. To anyone who spent even a small part of your life listening to my voice and my thoughts. I may not know your names or your faces, but knowing that you were there meant so much more to me than I can properly put into words. You gave me a reason to keep talking. You gave me energy. And honestly, just knowing that someone somewhere was listening made me feel warm inside. So thank you for giving me your time. Thank you for listening to me when I was excited, when I was figuring things out, when I changed my mind, when I was happy, and when I wasn’t. I really, genuinely appreciate you. And I still hope that someday, somehow, I’ll get to meet some of you face to face. For now, I need some time to find my own energy again. And when I genuinely feel, “I want to talk to you again.” I’ll come back. So this isn’t the last episode. It’s just a little pause. Until we meet again, please take good care of yourself. And from the bottom of my heart, thank you for being here. Connect with me:

    Just a Little Update on My Life

    I’m sorry this episode is a little late. I usually upload every Monday, but this week, I honestly didn’t have much energy, and I couldn’t quite organize what I wanted to talk about. So… I’m really sorry for keeping you waiting. This episode is simply a little life update from me. It’s been about nine days since I came back to Hokkaido, and even though I originally planned to step away from nursing, I’ve decided to work as a temporary nurse again for the next two months. I still don’t know what comes after that. I don’t know where I’ll live, what kind of work I’ll do, or what I really want my everyday life to look like. Right now, I’m probably at one of the lowest points I’ve ever been in my life. But in a strange way, that also makes me feel like there’s nowhere left to go but up. And I’ve decided I’m done building my life around the idea that suffering is something I just have to accept. When something feels painful or miserable, that feeling is telling me something. From now on, I want to listen to those signals more consciously and choose a life that feels fun, joyful, happy, and genuinely like mine. There’s no perfect answer or beautiful conclusion in this episode. I’m still right in the middle of it. And maybe that’s okay. I also want to say thank you to those of you who keep coming back and listening to this podcast. Even though I can’t see your faces, just knowing that there are people out there who choose to spend some of their time listening to me gives me energy and makes me feel warm inside. That’s why I genuinely want to keep showing up for you. So from next week, I want to be back at my usual Monday upload time — not because I’m forcing myself to, but because thinking about you gives me a reason to want to do it. Thank you for being here. And wherever you are in your life right now, I genuinely hope you become happier and happier. Connect with me:

    Practicing the Art of Cherishing Myself

    I’m back in Hokkaido. For now, I’m stepping away from nursing and giving myself about a month to work part-time, slow down, and figure out what I actually want to do with my life. I don’t have a perfect plan. But I’ve decided one thing: I don’t want to keep building my life around endurance, sacrifice, and doing things that make me miserable. From September 1st, I’m starting a little experiment. What happens if I stop choosing unnecessary suffering? What happens if I stop doing things just because they’re stable, practical, or expected of me? What happens if I start choosing what genuinely feels fun? For now, I’m going to work, spend time with my family, eat a ridiculous amount of home-cooked food, have drinks with my mom, and pay attention to the moments when I can honestly say: “I’m happy right now.” Let’s see what happens.

    I Forgot to Include Myself in the Life I Was Building

    For years, I thought being strong meant handling everything on my own. I wanted to make money, build something meaningful, protect the people I love, and someday give my future wife an incredible life. But somewhere along the way, I forgot one person. Me. Recently, I reached a point where I felt completely exhausted with my life. For a moment, I even thought it might be easier if I weren’t here anymore. But the truth was, I didn’t want my life to end. I just couldn’t keep living the way I had been living. So for the first time, instead of carrying everything alone, I told my family I wasn’t okay. I decided to leave Tokyo for a while, change my environment, and stop forcing myself to stay in a life my heart had been rejecting for years. In this episode, I talk about asking for help, walking away from a career that never felt like mine, my complicated relationship with money and love, and something my mom told me when I needed to hear it most: You have to be happy first. I still want to make a lot of money.
I still want to protect the people I love.
I still want to build a huge life. But now, I’m learning to include myself in that love too. Maybe choosing yourself isn’t giving up on your dreams. Maybe it’s where they actually begin. Connect with me:

    Why Is It So Hard to Accept Yourself?

    What if self-love isn’t about becoming a better, kinder, or more perfect version of yourself? Recently, I found myself feeling guilty over something seemingly small: sometimes taking care of my dogs feels exhausting. Sometimes I don’t want to go for a walk. Sometimes I get irritated. And then the real struggle begins. I compare myself to people I admire, question whether I’m actually a kind person, and turn one uncomfortable feeling into a judgment about who I am. But maybe our feelings, values, and actions don’t always have to perfectly match. Maybe being tired doesn’t mean you don’t care.
Maybe feeling annoyed doesn’t make you cruel.
And maybe wanting to become better doesn’t require hating who you are today. In this episode, I talk about self-acceptance, the danger of turning our ideals into weapons against ourselves, and what it might really mean to love yourself: Not becoming perfect, but learning not to abandon yourself when you’re not. If you’ve ever wondered, “Why can’t I be more like the person I want to be?”—this episode is for you. Maybe we can both learn to be a little more on our own side. Thank you for spending this time with me. Connect with me:

Let’s keep exploring what it means to live a life we truly love—together.

    Believe Before Reality Gives You a Reason To

    What if the life you see right now isn’t supposed to decide what you believe? Most of us look at reality first. If things are going well, we believe our life is going well.
If something painful happens, we start to doubt ourselves, our choices, and our future. But lately, I’ve been wondering: What if we have it backwards? What if belief comes first? In this episode, I talk about what I’m learning through my own experiment with belief, manifestation, and The Secret — from a difficult relationship at work, to the way my mother continued to believe through some of the hardest moments of her life. I also share the story of my sister’s illness, and why watching my mother taught me something I’m only beginning to fully understand now: Belief doesn’t mean ignoring reality.
And it doesn’t mean pretending difficult things aren’t happening. It means refusing to let your current reality decide what you believe is possible. Maybe miracles don’t always begin when reality changes. Maybe they begin when someone refuses to stop believing before it does. Thank you for spending this time with me.
I hope this episode gives you something to carry into your own life. Connect with me @shioriikedamore P.S. The anime I mentioned in this episode is Though I Am an Inept Villainess: Tale of the Butterfly-Rat Body Swap in the Maiden Court.
My favorite character is Kou Reirin.I love Shu Keigetsu too, though haha

    You Don’t Find Yourself. You Build Yourself.

    For years, I thought “being myself” was something I needed to find. But after trying new things, making mistakes, and stepping outside my comfort zone, I realized something. You don’t discover who you are by waiting. You discover yourself by living. In this episode, I share what “being yourself” means to me today, why experience shapes our identity, and how even the smallest curiosity can lead you closer to the life that truly feels like your own. Thank you for listening. Connect with me:@soulresonancepod

    I’m Starting an Experiment

    Lately, I’ve felt stuck. Not because I’ve lost my dreams. But because I stopped moving toward them. In this episode, I share why I decided to start over, what I’ve learned about myself over the past few months, and why I’m beginning a personal experiment inspired by The Secret. I don’t know if it will change my life. But I’m willing to find out. And I’ll share every step of that journey with you. Thank you for listening. Connect with me: @soulresonancepod
