  • EP 194 Mental Wellness: 7 Ways That Actually Work

    EP 194 Mental Wellness: 7 Ways That Actually Work
    Oct 27 2025
    As we move into the colder months, many of us are quietly struggling — with stress, loneliness, and the weight of trying to hold it all together. In this episode, Candice opens up about the small, free practices that actually help her stay grounded. From protecting your peace and therapy, to volunteering, movement, cooking, time with animals, and the Japanese art of letting go — these simple habits are backed by real research and lived experience. This is a reminder that healing doesn’t have to be perfect or expensive. Sometimes, the most powerful work you can do is quiet, gentle, and completely free. Thank you for listening x Candice

  • EP 192 Insider Knowledge: What Japan’s Prime Minister Wants You to Know About Preserving Culture

    EP 192 Insider Knowledge: What Japan’s Prime Minister Wants You to Know About Preserving Culture
    Sep 29 2025
    Welcome to the Wabi Sabi podcast. This is episode number 192. Today, you’re going to hear something very few people in the world know about — insider knowledge, straight from the Prime Minister of Japan and Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. I was one of only six Japanese American journalists invited into this room in New York, where leaders, UN members, and cultural representatives gathered to discuss the future of Japan’s food and heritage. What I’m going to share with you today is not just about rice, wagyu, or green tea — it’s about identity, preservation, and the wisdom that Japan wants the world to understand. Think of this episode as your private briefing — early access to insights that matter for all of us.

  • EP 191 Do We Deserve Japanese Culture & Matcha In Western Markets?

    EP 191 Do We Deserve Japanese Culture & Matcha In Western Markets?
    Sep 15 2025
    Welcome to Wabi Sabi. Have we been kind to the Japanese? Do we deserve Japanese 7-Elevens in NY? How about asking a Japanese- American? In Today’s episode is about reflection, learning, and appreciation. There is so much to learn from Japanese history — from the Edo period, to the U.S. Occupation, to the reawakening of Japanese hearts in the 20th century, and the complex but resilient relationship between Japan and the U.S.. If you ask me, we shouldn’t learn about Japan — we should learn from Japan. That means supporting Japanese voices, reading books by Japanese and Japanese American authors, and buying Japanese products, foods, beauty, and cultural traditions directly from their source. The research and care that goes into each episode can take me weeks, even months, to create. So if you enjoy listening, please subscribe, leave a comment, and share this podcast with two of your best friends. Now — what can we learn from the obliteration of matcha in the Western world? What can we learn from the history of Japanese Americans, wrongfully imprisoned in concentration camps during World War II, accused of crimes they did not commit? What can we learn from the resilience of a culture that endured deep suffering, only for us to now enjoy its traditions, artistry, and cuisine in all their beauty, novelty, and kawaii? We are able to appreciate Japanese culture today only because our ancestors paid a dear price. This is something we must honor, reflect on, and consider deeply in today’s episode. Thanks for listening. —Candice Kumai
