In this episode, I chat with Emiko Jean, the New York Times bestselling author whose journey from various professions to the realm of writing is nothing short of inspiring. Emiko sheds light on her latest page-turner, The Return of Ellie Black, and the meticulous care she gives to her Japanese American characters. The world of publishing is fraught with uncertainties, but Emiko's candidness about her path, which took her from feeling disconnected to books she saw in libraries and bookshops due to her heritage, to celebrating representation in her work. The thread of survival and resilience weaves through our discussion, as Emiko draws upon true crime inspirations to craft narratives that echo the human spirit's enduring nature. She opens up about her five-year commitment to storytelling, infusing her characters with psychological depth, and confronting the repercussions of trauma. The novel's gripping conclusion—a twist devised to keep readers guessing—is a testament to her ability to create suspense that lingers beyond the final page. Finally, Emiko reflects on the arduous road to publication—the rejections, the revision under the guidance of an editorial agent, and the triumph of securing a two-book deal. Her approach to reading, favoring nonfiction during the writing process, and the unexpected delight in branching into new literary territories, underscores the ever-evolving nature of a writer's craft.

New York Times bestselling author Emiko Jean joins BOOKSTORM Podcast to talk about The Return of Ellie Black! What a powerful discussion! We talked about the quarter million women who go missing each year, with the vast majority of those being women or girls under twenty one. What is fueling these atrocities - is it primarily an expression of male rage or power? As a society, do we need to dig deeper to understand the factors driving this type of aggression so that we can better prevent it? We talked about survival, guilt, and post-traumatic stress ... even the aftermath of tragedy. We explored the idea of victim shaming, especially of young women who suffer an attack by a male assailant. Can a victim ever be blamed? Isn't that lessening the fault of the assailant? Or are we also responsible for our wellbeing? WOW - join us. You'll be so glad you did. You can find more of your favorite bestselling authors at BOOKSTORM Podcast!

This story unfolds with three friends: Soda Can, Yuki, Haruto, and Emiko.Ja: ユキはいつものようにランニングショーツと軽快なスニーカーをはいて道を駆け抜けました。体を動かすことで何気ない日々を楽しむユキは、今日も朝のランニングを満喫していました。En: Yuki, dressed in his usual running shorts and nimble sneakers, raced through the streets. Finding joy in the simple daily routine by staying active, Yuki was once again enjoying his morning run.Ja: 一方、ハルトは町の中心部にある公園のベンチで本を読んでました。本が好きな彼は、エミコを待つ間にページをめくっていた。En: Meanwhile, Haruto sat on a bench in the park at the town center, engrossed in a book. A book lover, he flipped through the pages while waiting for Emiko.Ja: そして、エミコ。彼女は親の汗水垂らすパン屋を手伝い、人と話すことにこだわってバイトをしていました。En: As for Emiko, she helped out at her parents' sweat-drenched bakery and worked part-time to engage in conversations with people, valuing the interactions.Ja: この朝、ユキは走りながら道端の自動販売機で水を買おうと停まりました。淡々と商品を選ぶ彼の目に、自動販売機の灯りが人影のように映った。そこで、ユキは突然、自動販売機に向けて丁寧にお辞儀をしました。水を買ってから彼は「おはよう」と声をかけてその場を後にしました。En: One morning, as Yuki was running, he stopped by a vending machine on the roadside to buy some water. Indifferently selecting his item, he noticed the vending machine's flickering light casting a shadow-like figure. Suddenly, Yuki politely bowed towards the vending machine. After buying water, he said "good morning" and went on his way.Ja: この場面を見てしまったハルトは、ユキがただの自動販売機を人と勘違いして挨拶したと思いました。彼はユキに笑われないよう悪戯を計画しました。彼は、エミコにユキが自動販売機に挨拶をしたことを伝えました。エミコは一瞬驚いたものの、その後笑顔を見せてニコニコと笑いました。En: Seeing this incident, Haruto thought that Yuki had mistaken the vending machine for a person and greeted it. To prevent Yuki from being mocked, Haruto planned a playful prank. He told Emiko about Yuki greeting the vending machine. Although taken aback at first, Emiko later revealed a smile and chuckled.Ja: 計画は決行。エミコはユキが再びお辞儀をするよう仕向けました。そして、ユキが帰宅途中、再びその自動販売機の前に立ったとき、エミコがその中に隠れていて、彼の挨拶に応えたのです。En: The plan was set in motion. Emiko encouraged Yuki to bow once again. So, as Yuki was on his way back home and stood in front of the vending machine once more, Emiko was hiding inside and responded to his greeting.Ja: "こんにちは、ユキさん。" 驚きで目を丸くしたユキの反応を見て、エミコはクスクスと笑い、ハルトも隠れていた場所から出てきて一緒に笑いました。En: "Hello, Yuki-san." Seeing Yuki's eyes widen in surprise, Emiko chuckled and Haruto emerged from his hiding spot to join in the laughter.Ja: その日から彼らの中で、「自動販売機ネタ」は永遠のジョークとなり、彼らの絆は一層深まりました。自動販売機はただの物ではなく、3人の中に笑いと思い出を届ける存在になったのです。En: From that day on, the "vending machine incident" became an everlasting joke among them, deepening their bond. The vending machine transformed from a mere object into a source of laughter and memories shared among the three friends.

In this episode, Emiko Jaffe and I explore what weight-neutral fitness means and how people in all shapes and sizes of bodies can begin a positive relationship with movement. About Emiko Jaffe Emiko is a weight-neutral, size-inclusive fitness coach in San Diego, California who helps people perform the activities they care about most with more ease, efficiency and enjoyment without pursuing intentional weight loss. Emiko pivoted to becoming a weight-neutral, size-inclusive fitness trainer when she realized the harm and futility in most attempts at sustainable, intentional weight loss. She finds that her focus on actual fitness (what our bodies can DO) and not on intentional weight loss or aesthetics makes it compatible with the goals of many people who are in recovery from an eating disorder or have otherwise received clearance from their eating disorder team who also want to pursue fitness goals (increasing strength, stamina, mobility, overall health and well being).

This week's conversation is a journey, a little metaphysical, a little brass tacks life advice, no doubt this week's guest will send you! A resident of Long Beach California since 1999, Tracy Emiko Ugai created a mosaic by picking up pieces that work and discarding what doesn't to build the colorful life she has today. Best known for her roller skating and wellness brand Basics of Happy, her impact as a visible Long Beach skate community member, and storied career in action sports marketing and PR (for iconically California brands such as Vans, Quicksilver, and Moxi ) precede her. Tracy regales us with tales of her roller skating roots, which started with Long Beach DIY parking lot roller derby in all of its scrappy down and dirty charm. She also takes us back to park skating before its boom and the exciting collaborative phase of discovery the community was in before the days widely available tutorials and park hardware. The draw Tracy feels towards wellness is in no way out of left field, in part born of the dissonance she felt between the marketing (and social media) presence she crafted and real life, she found herself hungry for a more grounded perspective. She was evolving and wanting out of the corporate gig life, and wanted to leave space for healing herself, and on the way she found herself positioned to pivot towards a path working wellness. In the process she found herself back in roller skating community and exploring the intersections between movement and healing. Tracy generously shares the lessons that very much influence her business and her brand today. Applying her life experience, she tackles issues like facing burnout, overcoming self-doubt, redirecting hyper focus as a neurodivergent business owner, and meditative power of roller skating! Above all else she highlights how relinquishing control in creating her own business allowed the road to unwind before her in unexpected and miraculous ways. Not to mention, we get granular about her foray into developing roller skates for the first time for her very own company, and how collaboration in community are very much the engine behind Basics of Happy. Get ready to nerd out!Suffice to say, this interview is a veritable treasure trove featuring slices of roller skate history, personal wisdom, healing, and being in business in roller skating today.

メディアからの情報や自分がフォーカスすべき 情報の量に圧倒されたり、 自分のプロセスを複雑にしていたり、 他の人の情報に惑わされたり、、、。 ビジネスオーナーは長期でビジネスをやる。 1、2年でQuick Winだけがビジネスではないです。 今結果が出ている人は今まで どれだけ水面下でやってきたのか、 この部分を考えてみてください。 結果にはタイムラインは必要ないし、 コーチをつけてもコピーキャットする必要もない。 コーチみたいに発信するしかない、ではなく 自分の価値・存在を信じること。 2022年の最後のPodcastでは 私が今年ビジネスで５つの経験をしたことを お話ししました。 私のプログラム詳細については

However, in her pre-"woo woo life", she was a badass COO for an app development company and a marketing and operations expert.

Emiko Jean is a Japanese-American author-- but, before she was an author, she was an entomologist (bug catcher), candle maker, florist, and teacher. She strongly believes in “faking it till you make it” and asking for forgiveness rather than permission. Emiko has written many YA novels, like, Tokyo Ever After, which was a Reese Witherspoon Book Club YA Pick. But her most recent novel, Mika in Real Life, is a bit more grown-up. With themes about sexual assault, motherhood, adoption, and coming of age when you're already an adult. The protagonist, Mika, has disappointed her mother too many times to count, has given up her passions, can't keep a job, and her love life is– well, nonexistent. The novel begins at the peak of all this messiness when Mika gets a call… and it's the daughter she put up for adoption 16 years ago. We speak with Emiko Jean about her new novel, motherhood, and how her book explores and deconstructs the 'model minority myth.'
