The roots of tradition sometimes take hold in unexpected soil. What happens when traditions from France, Korea, and China converge in one practitioner's hands? There's a kind of alchemy in the way knowledge travels—through stories, teachers, and clinical results that raise the question of what is going on here.In this conversation with Jacques MoraMarco, we explore the shape of a career that's spanned over five decades. From his early exposure to French-Vietnamese and Korean teachings, to his role in building acupuncture education in the U.S.—Jacques has carried multiple lineages while helping to shape what Chinese medicine looks like in the modern clinic.Listen into this discussion as we talk about the perspective of different streams of practice, the shift from apprenticeship to formal schooling, and how European and Korean influences still echo in his work.
THOMAS TRANG chats to Paul Burke about Dark Neon Dirt, LA heists, Caravaggio, Hollywood money, Elmore Leonard and Andor.DARK NEON DIRT Shaun Nguyen is a Vietnamese war orphan who made it to America. But danger was never far behind – from the Chinatown gangs he ran with in New York, to his years in Iraq dodging bullets and defusing bombs. Nguyen learnt how to survive. By all means necessary.Now he's a high-end thief in Los Angeles. One of the best, but smart enough to know he's living on borrowed time. Then a job goes sideways, leaving bodies on the Hollywood Freeway, stolen diamonds in his pocket, and a target on his back.Which gets the attention of Thomas Monroe, an LAPD lieutenant who's been hunting Nguyen for years. Captain Ahab with a gun and badge, plus his own dirty secrets closing in on him fast. The two of them are set on a collision course – a thief who won't be caught and the cop who doesn't miss.Not exactly the quiet life Nguyen is after, especially now he's met a mysterious woman who's landed in town. They fall for each other hard. A gallerist living in France who used to be with the FBI's Art Crime Team. Able to spot forgeries a mile off, but she hasn't figured him out yet.So once he wraps up this business with the diamonds, Nguyen is done with the game. The problem is she's not quite done with the FBI.Welcome to the City of Angels – where everyone has an angle.Thomas Trang is a French/Vietnamese writer currently living in the UK after stints in Australia, New York, and Singapore.

Jerry was formally trained as a humanistic and integrative psychotherapist before branching out to include tantric and shamanic philosophies and modalities. He has been working with people of all orientations for over 28 years, and leads the largest men's group practice in the UK. He also offers mentorship and supervision for people who lead groups. An advocate of alternative plant medicines, he believes for a minority of people, a combination of deep enquiry and psychedelic entheogens to be the most powerful way of bringing about real, lasting and positive transformation. He does not provide medicines but he does offer preparation and integration for anyone embarking on such a journey. Jerry divides his time between London and Paris where he lives with his partner, French Vietnamese filmmaker Mai Hua. “We have all abandoned our authenticity to some degree - usually to attach and belong, and deep enquiry should strip away the layers of who we thought we were, and with it our neurotic patterns, as it takes us closer to our essence.” www.jerryhyde.co.uk www.spirithorse.co.uk/podcast If you've enjoyed Spirit Horse Radio, please support our channel by giving us a star rating on Spotify or your preferred platform.

When Good Days started selling banh mi during lockdown, they were so popular they'd often sell out via online orders before the doors even opened. Now they're a permanent menu fixture at Good Days Hot Bread, a dedicated banh mi shop that opened this month, further up Sydney Road. While staying true to the core tenets of the French-Vietnamese rolls – pate, mayo, coriander, pickled carrot, cucumber and a protein in a crusty baguette – these interpretations are next-level. Owner Nam Nguyen joins Around Town to discuss the new opening.

Hoa Dung Clerget is a French Vietnamese artist with a multi disciplinary practise. Transforming every day objects into vessels of memory, meaning and emotion, her work reflects a different temporal experience. Having grown up in France in a Vietnamese family, Hoa Dung uses the family traditions embodied in domestic objects to construct her artistic language. It allows her to speak about cultural tensions that the diaspora encounters. Hoa Dung's family's unwritten history is passed down orally and through everyday objects. These domestic objects tell the stories of immigrant women who through their gestures build the link between two different cultures. Hoa Dung holds a BA Hons in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins and an MA in Painting from the Royal college of art. She also holds an MSc from Ecole Centrale de Lyon (major Applied Mathematics).
Perhaps the charm of an artist lies in the way he expresses his “true self” through his work. And in order to discover the “charm” of Mr Tran Anh Hung, a French-Vietnamese film director, with great works dedicated to Vietnamese cinema, Dentsu Redder Impact Academy was very excited to talk with the director about many different perspectives regarding the art of cinema, and the personality and capacity of an artist... about the passion and commitment, and Vietnamese culture as well as stories on the topic of “Poetry and the ability to awaken the senses in film”, directed by Tran Anh Hung.

It is probably no secret to you all that we (Harmony & Russell) enjoy watching television together (shhh…!). After finishing over 21 seasons of Hell's Kitchen, we moved on to prestige dramas like The Handmaid's Tale and Mrs. America, and our current obsession, Succession… and often you'll find references to these narratives percolate in conversations with our guests. We're in the Golden Age of Television, but the real prototype of our time is the “Walk and Talk” by Aaron Sorkin, The West Wing, which is absolutely beloved. For many of our generation it was the show that precipitated an interest in sincere and earnest political activism. Our guest today, Lu Q. Duong, is both a result of that movement and quite coincidentally an example. Lu's father, a French Vietnamese chef, was founder of a restaurant in DC that became the center for Republican Beltway work lunch. It was not uncommon, for example, to see former GOP VP Dick Cheney eating there on any given day. Lu's father remains a dynamic example of the immigrant experience: An indefatigable worker and idealist for the American way of life. Lu is now Principal Director for the Tech and STEM Initiatives unit for The United Negro College Fund and a former communications lead at the very influential education initiative the Aspen Institute. He took his degree in Political Science at Virginia Commonwealth University and applied his expertise in growth and marketing to his interest in Ashtanga Yoga (in his spare time!). He created Ashtanga: Parampara, an online magazine, which sought to build on and develop the stories told in Guy Donahaye's book “Guruji” with long form interviews from other teachers within our global Ashtanga yoga community. We think it's fair to say, Lu is kind of a big deal (not to mention a incredibly talented, thoughtful, empathetic and all-round fabulous human being). In today's episode we asked Lu his professional opinion to the question... “What would you do with the Ashtanga Yoga brand?” Listen along as he reluctantly explains his opinion from the perspective of a political marketing expert.

The long-awaited new novel from one of America's most highly regarded contemporary writers, The Committed follows the Sympathizer as he arrives in Paris as a refugee. There he and his blood brother Bon try to escape their pasts and prepare for their futures by turning their hands to capitalism in one of its purest forms: drug dealing. No longer in physical danger, but still inwardly tortured by his reeducation at the hands of his former best friend, and struggling to assimilate into a dominant culture, the Sympathizer is both charmed and disturbed by Paris. As he falls in with a group of left-wing intellectuals and politicians who frequent dinner parties given by his French Vietnamese “aunt,” he finds not just stimulation for his mind but also customers for his merchandise―but the new life he is making has dangers he has not foreseen, from the oppression of the state, to the self-torture of addiction, to the seemingly unresolvable paradox of how he can reunite his two closest friends, men whose worldviews put them in absolute opposition. Both literary thriller and brilliant novel of ideas, The Committed is a blistering portrayal of commitment and betrayal that will cement Viet Thanh Nguyen's position in the firmament of American letters --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/support
Conversations about difficult topics are never easy and easily avoidable. When you add in the hierarchical nature of many Asian cultures, this difficulty doubles. In this episode, we discuss our personal experience of talking to family members about topics ranging from racism and anti-blackness, to mental health and perspectives on Vietnamese colonialism. As you will hear, we are not great at doing it ourselves. However, our hope is that through this episode, you may hear similarities with discussions that you have avoided or tried to engage in, and then just maybe, learn something to kickstart those tough conversations again.

Fiorella Files Episode 34-Graham Greene, The Unquiet Daughter and Ceremony of Innocence The Unquiet Daughter – Danielle Flood This bestselling memoir tells the story of a little girl growing up with a beautiful but abusive French-Vietnamese mother, Danielle’s long quest to unravel the mystery of her father’s identity and her attempts to be reconciled with him. But this is not yet another example of misery lit – it is a literary detective story. Were Danielle’s parents really the inspiration behind Graham Greene’s The Quiet American ? Is Danielle Flood – as she states – ‘the sequel he never wrote’? Read the book to find out… The Quiet American – Graham Greene Based on Greene’s own experiences as a war reporter, this controversial classic tells the story of a love triangle between a cynical English journalist, an idealistic CIA agent and a beautiful Vietnamese woman, set against the horrors of the Vietnam war in its early stages and the end of French colonialism. Ceremony of Innocence – Dorothy Cummings McLean Set in early 21st century Germany, this homage to Graham Greene reimagines The Quiet American on the streets of Germany, where the threat of Islamist terrorism and the battle for Germany’s soul, forms the backdrop to a very different tug of war between a world-weary Canadian journalist, her German lover and the dangerously idealistic Suzy… What Is The Crusade Channel?

On today’s episode, we sat down to talk with YouTuber Sophie Nguyen (@thetamshow), about her experiences growing up Vietnamese in France, and ultimately moving to Vietnam, despite her parents' discomfort with this decision. We started off with Sophie’s parents’ background and the difficulties she faced as a third-culture kid. Sophie describes her first trip to Vietnam and how it changed her mindset and made her want to come back more permanently! We talk about what connotations the term "Vietkieu" has and what it's been like for Sophie coming back to the homeland (the good and the bad). Sophie shares more about her Youtube channel, The Tam Show, and the mission behind it-to help you go for their dreams and realize you are the "master of your life." HELL YEAH. Sophie is a French lady with Vietnamese parents. She was born and grew up in France in the suburbs of Paris. During her studies, she had an internship in Hanoi, her true first time in Vietnam. She found her roots and had such a good experience, she knew that she wouldn’t work in France and that she was meant to work abroad. Her open-mindedness and love for traveling brought her to book a one-way ticket after her finishing studies to come back to Vietnam more than 2 years ago, but this time in Saigon, where there are more job opportunities. Since that day, it has been a long journey for Sophie who had a lot of ups and downs in her professional life and came to some deep realizations. She is now hosting her own YouTube talk show called The Tam Show.

Life Coach & Intercultural Trainer, Yuko Deneuville “Differences simply act as a yarn of curiosity unraveling until we get to the other side” — Ciore Taylor Cindy: (00:01) This is episode 5 with Life Coach & Intercultural Trainer, Yuko Deneuville. Cindy: (00:01) Welcome to Exploring the Seasons of Life, a podcast for everyday women who are trying to be everything to everyone and forgetting themselves in the process. Each week join Cindy MacMillan as she interviews coaches, spiritual explorers and celebrants from all walks of life about beginnings, endings and the messy bits in-between. Self-love, well-being, and mindset are at the heart of our conversations because once you change the inside, the outside will begin to change as well. Yuko: (01:22) Thank you very much, Cindy, for having me today. Cindy: (01:25) Oh, I'm really excited about this. I have started off all the podcasts with a question. What does exploring the seasons of life mean to you? Yuko: (01:37) Yes, I love this question. So, exploring seasons of life. For me it's about living different transitions in our life because I think, I truly believe that we live different transition. For example, personally I, first of all, I lived in different countries. As was mentioned. I lived in Japan, I lived in France as a child and I also moved as an adult to different countries in China, in England. And five years ago, I moved to the U.S. with my two children. They were one and three years old at the time. So, I live different transition I think for me that the seasons of life, we live different episodes, different stages as a mom, as a spouse and now I am as a business owner. Cindy: (02:33) Thank you. So what season are you in right now? A beginning, ending or messy bit. And what have been the lessons? Yuko: (02:40) Yes. I would say I am maybe in the middle, so I don't know if I can call it messy bits, but I am definitely in the middle of a season right now. I, yes, I moved five years ago to the U.S. and I created my business at the time and now it's going pretty well. So, I think my business is expanding and you know, we have our balance. I think I have my balance right now as a mom, as a spouse and as a business owner. So, I would say the lessons that I have learned is that nothing is permanent. Nothing is permanent. Everything changes in life. So, five years ago when I moved to the U.S. I suddenly I became a stay at home mom from being a sales manager in France. I became a stay at home mom and at the time. Yuko: (03:38) I can say it was really, really challenging. Really challenging because you know, you, you lose your status, you lose your status as an employee. And so, I was excited at the beginning taking care of my two children. But after two months I, it was very hard, and I decided to do something and find my own passion. So right now, yes, I am not anymore is in this path, but it has been challenging. And so, I learned that it's really important to, to trust that nothing is permanent and just listen to what you really want to do in your life. Cindy: (04:16) And that is so true about nothing being permanent. Everything is always changing. Yuko: (04:22) Yes. Cindy: (04:23) I know that you've got your business, so how did you get started as an Intercultural Consultant and Life Transition Coach? Can you walk us through that? What's the story behind that? Yuko: (04:34) Yes, definitely. So yes, because I lived in different countries and you know, as a child I also followed my parents in a new country in Japan, which was totally different from France. It was very difficult even as a child, you know, we say that children get used very quickly to a new environment that children are like a sponge. But in fact, it was very, very difficult to get used to a new language, a new culture. I mean I'm Japanese and French or totally different in the way of thinking and communicating. And then I moved to other countries in England, in China, different cultures again and five years ago when I moved to the U S it was totally different. You know, the way of making friends, the way of working, communicating is so different between Americans and French and Japanese. Yuko: (05:34) So that's when I decided to help others to go through the same transitions as I've been through. So initially I helped French people who moved to the U.S. and then I expanded my business to other cultures as well because I lived in different countries. So that's when I created my business five years ago and I had a coach as a time. She helped me to dream one year. She helped me to, to really understand what my strengths were, what was my personal and professional and experience, how it could benefit to others. So, my coach helped me through all these steps, through all these questions, through all the fears that I had at the time. Because being an entrepreneur is something that we don't learn at school. So, I had to relearn everything. Cindy: (06:31) That's right. It's one day at a time learning to be an entrepreneur, that's for sure. Yuko: (06:36) Yes, definitely. Cindy: (06:39) So when you and I talked the other day I had mentioned to you that my stepmother is from Indonesia, my sister-in-law is from Peru and my partner is from Trinidad and I love that diversity and sometimes it's a lot of fun and then sometimes you have to learn how to work through those cultural differences. Yuko: (07:06) Yes, definitely. Yes, it's a big challenge actually to understand the other, but also I would say to be humble and to understand yourself also because I think the first step is really to know who you are, what are your values and how others see yourself. And recently I wrote an article in a French magazine about the French cliché because as a French people, we have a lot of cliché. Americans see us as maybe lazy or arrogant or there are many cliché, even flirty. I heard about that one. So it's really important to see our self-first Cindy: (07:51) I talked to a few people that I was going to have you on and I asked what questions they would like to hear. What would they like for me to ask? And the one that came up most was when you move to a new place, how do you make friends, you know, if you're coming from another country and for example you're here in the USA now, is it making friends as an adult different here than making friends in other countries? Yuko: (08:25) Yes, yes. I like this question and especially because I get that question a lot from my clients as well. Because a lot of times they say, especially my French clients, they would say, I don't understand how to make friends with other Americans because it seems like friendship is so different. And so personally what I always encourage and what I did myself also five years ago is really to be involved in communities. Like, for example, my children helped me a lot because by being involved in their school and helping the teacher and organizing play dates, it really helped me to create bonds with other parents. Also, I encourage being part of a volunteering organization, for example, helping out the community. For example, for me, helping children as there is here on project called Children Hunger Project, which helps children who don't have enough food to eat during the weekend. So for example, being part of an organization like that or even doing things that you love, like for example, I do, I take acting classes, dancing classes. Just have fun and meet people. That's what I would say. Cindy: (09:48) What I had said as even being an American that moved into Brevard County as an adult it's hard to make friends. I do find it a little bit harder when you've got no little children to help you with that transition, you know, making friends at school and everything. So I liked the volunteering idea. That's a very good way to meet people. Yuko: (10:19) Yes, definitely. There is. There is always a way to meet people and I would say it's true that the way to make friends, it might be different from a country to another, but in the end it's always possible to make friends. I made a great friend in the U.S. So it's always possible that as long as we are all open minded and we have the same center of interests. Cindy: (10:41) Yeah, absolutely. Because even if it's, even if you're not able to volunteer, but if you join, I don't know, clubs or networking events that has the same interest or your church, you know, that's a great way to make friends no matter where you move. Yuko: (11:00) Exactly. Yes. Cindy: (11:01) When I was reading through your website and it's very interesting and I really loved it, but what is an intercultural mindset? Yuko: (11:11) Yes, intercultural mindset, just to make it simple, I would say two words is really to be humble. First step. I talked about that earlier, but it's really about being humble and knowing who you are, but also understand that we are each other, we are all different and there is always something to learn from other cultures, other people. So to be humble I would say. And the second one would be to be curious and to ask questions. For example, when I am in the U.S. I always in Florida I ask question about, for example, what is Thanksgiving? What do you do? What do you eat and why? Why do you, why it's such a big event, you know? Because for example, in France we don't have Thanksgiving. So I've always ask questions about the ritual, the traditions. I'm not afraid of maybe sometimes asking stupid question because everybody's so friendly. Everybody likes to answer this question. Cindy: (12:18) Well, you know, I think sometimes, what has stopped me because I am curious about all these different cultures and their history and everything. And I think maybe sometimes what has stopped me is feeling like I was being rude, asking, you know, well what does that mean? How do you do that? Why do you do that? But I guess it's not it's just really being curious and open about that culture. Yuko: (12:43) Exactly. Exactly. I think that when we ask question, it shows to the other person that we are interested and we want to learn from about the other persons, country and it's makes you as a person happy about, I think. Cindy: (12:57) Yeah, absolutely. So when we're trying to be more self culturally aware, are there any tips around that or is it just, is that kind of on the same line as being in an intercultural mindset? Yuko: (13:13) Yes, I would say an intercultural mindset. Yes. It's a pretty similar, so my answer would be the same, it's really the self-awareness would be about knowing who you are and your values that basically that and being curious. I would say the same. Yes. Cindy: (13:33) Okay. So I'm going to be curious and ask you about you, your background because it is so interesting, you know, with all the moves and everything that you've done, what was it like growing up? Did you grow up in France? Yuko: (13:48) Yes. So I grew up in France and in Japan. So I was born in France and that's six years old, moved to Japan and stayed in Tokyo during nine years. And at 15 I went back to France. So I experienced what we call the culture shock, but also the reverse culture shock. And you talked about that too. I mean, when we come back to our country it is hard because we are changed. We are different. So I think, and then, but I think I also got the, what we can call the intercultural virus is just the passion for, you know, always traveling and moving and discovering a new culture. I think I, I think I have traveled in about 40 countries and uh, I lived in five or six different countries. So I think it's in really my vein now. I, I want to always, I want to discover new countries and I think the U.S. won't be the last country I will visit. I would probably with my husband, he is a French Vietnamese. So even in my household, it is very, very multicultural because I'm half French and Japanese and he's Vietnamese. So we have the project to live in another country in the future. We don't know where, but that doesn't matter. Just one. Cindy: (15:13) Yeah. I was just going to ask you if Melbourne was going to be the last stop for you, but it sounds like you'll be looking for something else down the line. Yuko: (15:19) Yes, probably. Probably with foreign we are looking for something totally different next time. Yes. So we would see where it would be. Cindy: (15:28) That's exciting. Yuko: (15:29) Yes it is. Cindy: (15:31) Well I was going to ask you, what kind of women do you look up to as mentors? Yuko: (15:44) Yuko: (15:46) So yes, I have many mentors around me, so I have, mentoring in different categories I would say because I'm interested in so many different areas. For example, I'm interested in improving my public speaking and leadership skills. So I joined an organization called Toastmasters and I have my mentor in Toastmasters. For example, I have another mentor in my intercultural field. She has over thirty years of experiences in the intercultural fields. So I like to be surrounded by mentors in different areas where I want to grow and I can reach out to them because they are, I know them, you know, personally I have a personal connection with them and I think that's key for me. That's really key too for happiness and success is to be surrounded by a positive and encouraging environment Cindy: (16:40) I like that about having different mentors in different areas of your life because it's, I think it would be hard, I don't know this, but I think it would be hard to have one mentor for everything, but to have them in different areas of your life. Like you said, where you're growing, I'm going to do that myself. I like that. Yuko: (17:00) Yes, it's been very, very helpful. I mean I keep growing every day for sure. Thanks to my mentors. Cindy: (17:08) With organizations, do you do workshops for them? Do you go in and do public speaking and is it always around the intercultural field? Yuko: (17:19) I do both. For both fields. I would say I do training's and also, I give conferences in both intercultural awareness and also it can be around diversity and inclusions and I also give speeches are on self-care and self-confidence, so that's more the wellness area. So I would say it's really 50 50 I give trainings and conferences, both these topics which are very close to my heart. Cindy: (17:52) Right. Can you give us three practical and actionable tips to reconnect with our inner passions? I know during our conversation you've mentioned you know your, your passion and being passionate. Are there any tips that you give to your, to your customers to help them, one, regain it or to even uncover it? Yuko: (18:14) Yes. I really like this question and especially because it goes along with your podcast, your helping women, you know, in, in their transition or their steps in their life. Because I really realize that especially women, we have a challenge to focus on ourselves because most of the time we are busy with family. We are busy taking care of others. We are busy taking care of our spouse or our children or our house and we tend to forget ourselves. So for me, the really this three steps, it starts with the first one. It's about taking the time for yourself. Don't wait to have the time because you will never have it. I mean if you take care of others if you're busy all the time. So the first step is really to take care of, to take the time for yourself. For example, personally I wake up earlier in the morning because my kids, I know my kids wake up at 6:45 AM so I put my alarm at 6:00 AM so I make sure I have 45 minutes just for myself to do yoga, to do meditation, to do a bit of exercising or journaling. Yuko: (19:29) So at least I have this 45 minutes for me. And I realized that when you're, you are more centered, then you have more ideas. Also you're more ideas for your business. So the first step for me, really to to create a time for yourself. I would say the second step is to to take time or so for your vision, take time to think about what you really want to do in your life, what you really want to achieve, what is your vision, so there are different tools that can help you with that vision board. You know, reading books about self-development or even having a coach. There are different ways to find your vision and to find out what are your values. And I would say the third step is to be surrounded by a positive environment. What I talked earlier about, but it's really to surround yourself with people that maybe have been through the same steps, like mentors or friends that really believe in you and know that you can do it. And just maybe sometimes we have friends that are not encouraging. So if you have some friends that tell you things like, Oh nice, we'd be too difficult or I try myself, but Oh no, it was too hard. If you have friends like this or even family members, which is often the case, maybe stay away. I would say for these people when you, especially when you talk about your project. Cindy: (20:59) I really liked when you said don't wait for the time, you know, you, you make the time. Don't wait for the time because that is so true. We want to, are we going to wait for the perfect time? And then the next thing you know, months, years has passed by because we didn't, didn't make the time. We were just waiting for it to, I don't know, magically happen. So if you could turn back time and talk to your 18-year-old self, what would you tell her about the season of life you're in now? Yuko: (21:35) Yes. I would tell the Yuko 18-year-old that life is and can be challenging. Life can be difficult, but I would tell her that every experience that she's going to have, it's an opportunity for growth. And that even when there is a difficult time, it's okay. It's okay because it's, as long as you learn. And we always learn something from our experience, from our difficult time and even more from a difficult time. I would say when everything is easy, you don't really learn anything. So I would tell her that yes. Um, life left can be exciting, very exciting and you can be, you can have, you can be a happy spouse, you can be a happy mom and you can be a happy entrepreneur. I would tell her because I hear that so many times that yes, but I am going to take care of my children so I can't be an entrepreneur. So and always encourage my clients to get rid of that limited belief, you know, and trust that you can do it or you can do it all. Even if it takes time. You can, you can trust yourself. Cindy: (22:50) Thank you, Yuko for saying that about trusting ourselves. Now, how can people follow you on your journey? How can they support you? What is your website? Yuko: (22:59) Yes, so my website is YukoDeneuville.com and they can follow me on FaceBook. I have a Facebook page Yuko Deneuville Coaching; I am on Instagram and I also have a YouTube channel. Cindy: (23:20) All right. And I will put those in the, in the show notes so people can click on those and get to you. Well, is there anything else that I should have asked you or that you would like to tell us? Yuko: (23:32) I think you asked a very good question. Maybe just something, uh, to just to tell everybody just yes, ma'am. My takeaway I think from this, podcast is really in yourself. Everyone's journey is as special as everyone else joining. So your journey is special. So yes. Cindy: (23:54) Your journey is special. Yes it is. Thank you. Yuko: (23:58) Thank you very much indeed. Thank you. Cindy: (24:02) Thank you for listening to this week's episode of Exploring the Seasons of Life. I really enjoyed my conversation with Yuko and I especially liked it when she said; “I like to be surrounded by mentors in different areas where I want to grow.” Zig Ziglar said, “A lot of people have gone further than they thought they could because someone else thought they could.” My question for you is, “In what area of your life do you want to grow? And do you have a mentor that can help you?

From coriander cutting advice to Sam overcoming his fear of pâté, this episode really has it all. So sit back, relax and shake off the January blues with another dose of sharp-witted sandwich criticism.
