Ep 143EP 143- 20 Years Since Top Chef: Top 20 Things I've Learned
In reflection - next year marks my 20 years since I was the youngest chef to compete on Bravo's Top Chef - things that have made me? and what's worked well -- or -- not? Take a Listen xx and pls share with two friends! Be a good Person - while this does not seem to be valued in our society these days -- I can tell you that if I still exist and you still exist - we can certainly reward goodness, purity and those who do care about being a good person - do not follow or reward those who get work and attention from poor and classless actions//behavior Don't expect anyone to hand you a job. You're going to have to get out there and work for it Be weary that not everyone will like you - be strong enough to love yourself - especially when things fall apart -- let them - if they are meant to be - they will come back the stronger your mental health the more you'll fly -- those who are the strongest in mental wellness and health - those who are the most real - those are the ppl I've seen FLY- bc they don't have to live with all of their shitty demons at night Hot Bodies only come from working out & eating well exercise, eating fresh fruits, veggies, whole foods and cooking real delish foods- Have Grace for everyone. Tough mental wellness Take advice with a grain of salt - and only from someone far wiser and more accomplished than you Know people will talk about you- they will be cruel and they will let you down -- this is sadly, life and -- as we say in japanese "Shikata ga nai" - it cannot be helped Times will change - you may be at the top one year and have fallen the next -- keep going -- because martha & julia child didn't make it BIG until their 50's!! Instant success is not lasting and it's not for everyone - most of us will not have a "viral" moment - therefore its best to work hard, perform in quality work within integrity, do something meaningful and keep going- they right people will give you opportunity at the right timeDo not compare your journey to anyone else's - it's impossible to be the same and will never be the same - there will always be someone thinner, smarter, prettier and richer than you learn to let go of he people and things that cause suffering - is optional - opt out inner tranquility and peace - this is what to seek - not happiness - happiness is fleeting Read more books by solid authors -- vs online crap and trash - watch out for scammers, fakes, wannabes and con artists - the are everywhere & stay away from them Most of the time my mother was right - I fought her for a very long time - until we became friends a few years ago - I slowly had less resistance and more of my life made sense Cynthia - Cynthia from top chef was always my real friend - she and I had the biggest age gap on top chef - and yet we became the closest - find the ally that believed in you - especially when nobody else did - we went on to do big things, together and apart but mostly - the success we have is internal and its not shared openly to the public - not all success stories need to be bragged or boasted about - sometimes sits just for you It is better to be respected & to seek merit - than to be beautiful, successful in finance or in power - trust me - respect is all I have ever focused on - and that's made the biggest difference in my career. Gratitude for the small things I do have - this is what makes life worth living & share it with others along the way - Kindness is the most powerful resource to success - because at the end of the day kindness is all we've got.

Ep 139EP 139 -Growth Mindset Practices Leaders Embody
A big thank you to Japan America Society Houston for allowing me the grace to receive the J. Thomas Schieffer Leadership Award -And to Executive Director Patsy Brown - you are a wonderful human & a prize in this world: I thank you for sharing this honour with myself and my family! Thoughts at this time: Wellness - Wellness means you are real, vulnerable and share a common sense of wanting to connect with others around you in your community- it is not wanting to be a leader who is not relatable or feels that they are holier than others. Ask yourself to look at the leader in you- you already posses this: Now: What traits would you like to possess and who in life are you looking up to? Who is giving you advice? Where are you learning your everyday values from? Be kind to yourself, let go of old, stale beliefs and surrender to the unknown. What word of the day do you want to focus on? Shall we mend our friendships and harbor better diplomacy in our own lives? Do you have humble and gracious mentors in your life? Mend, pray for others, listen to your enders, prize them & war- can we better learn from these times? So we do not repeat history? Can we erase hatred from our own hearts? Can we lean into a better understanding of one another simply by listening & choosing curiosity? Thank you for listening & have a great week all xx ck

Ep 130EP 130 The Secret to Stop Comparing Your Life + Start Living It!
So many of us compare on a daily basis - and while things are not what they seem - we still believe our own thoughts sometimes. In today's episode 130 we explore what a world beyond social media is like - and how people online or "influencers" are not important at all. They are not better than you - and they certainly don't hold the answers to life's most profound and deep questions. So why are you so attached to them and comparing? Well- today is your chance to let go - and realize how you can begin your own life at any moment and stop putting a high importance on something so petty - it will only lead to your own disappointment. The answer lies in going inward doing the work, unfollowing, rewiring what is important to you - and stop putting so much importance on petty ppl. You won't look back in 5, 10 or 20 years and regret this change -- trust me -- So stop looking around - and start doing things offline, for you that make you feel so good inside! Lenses//Phones down! Ask yourself - would you really trade lives with them? I think not. xx With love and thank you for listening xx ck

Here's what we can do that's REAL wellness and not fake - sleep better without any digital needs - lay off the drugs and alcohol- don't buy shit you don't need - its ALL marketing read more books - read bestsellers - - get outside and run - go to events with no cell phones allowed- try to use a regular alarm clock - write and mail thank you cards, post cards, mail letters - try to disconnect at least on weekends- unfollow strange ppl on social who are only giving opinions (try living a life without opinions from others or reading reviews)- learn from those who made it in the analog years - they deserve an applause if they are still here and esp to those who have passed. - pick up a book by Roald Dahl book, a Dennis Rodman book 1996!, watch the last dance - remember what it was like not to be a slave to being available to everyone and using a land line and mail give props to those who came up in analog - without this hot mess of social distortion and fake famous shit - mark my words - it will fade with time & the cream will still rise to the top -follow real deal.

Mental Health matters - each month- beyond this month.

Choose to face your own demons and mental health battles with ease, kindness, boundaries and your own light. Take your time as well, there is no rush to be better and no need to be a part of the social media (wasted time) rat race. Choose to be of good use to others.

Choosing to better understand ourselves - from the monks, from poets, artists and friends... Understanding Your Darkness as Much as the Light - is what will set you apart from everyone else. It will keep you sharp, a futurist and ahead of the curve. A poem by Rumi the guest house: This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still, treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond. - RUMI Thank you for listening & I'll see you very soon! Audible.com/Spirited to order the new book!

A very special free gift: a free chapter of my new book spirited: out on audible.com/spirited drops April 27th 2023. A spiritual wellness guide, Spirited shows you how to find more fulfillment and peace in modern life by applying timeless Buddhist wisdom. Beneath Candice Kumai’s polished image as a wellness icon, she was tormented by anxiety, competitiveness and deep inner suffering. It wasn’t until she re-embraced the Buddhist principles she’d been taught in childhood that she began to change her life for the better—even making a pilgrimage to her mother’s home country of Japan to study in the mountains with Buddhist monks. Full of wisdom and raw honesty, Spirited recounts her journey and shares the Buddhist practices that transformed her life so you can, too. "Candice Kumai is the wellness & spiritual teacher for the next generation, a PIONEER of her time." (Dr Andrew Weil, founder/director of the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine)
