Today I’m joined by Marci Kobayashi, a writer, teacher, and business owner based in Hiroshima, Japan. Marci is the author of Finding Yoyu: The Japanese Compass for Navigating Overwhelm and Cultivating Abundance in 7 Key Areas of Life and is currently working on a memoir about caregiving for her father-in-law with Alzheimer’s. Her writing blends personal storytelling with practical insight, offering readers a fresh and compassionate lens on balance, resilience, and the hidden pressures many women face.
In this conversation, we talk about many things relating to yoyu: what it is, the different areas of life we can find it, how to cultivate more of it, and how the concept can provide us with a more abundant-leaning outlook on life in general.
Marci shares a “take five” practice as today’s take-away – but it might not be exactly what you expect.
