good things come to those who work hard + stay patient + persevere. #gaman
if I told you how many mainstream shows passed on promoting my new book, “Kintsugi Wellness” — it would probably make you cry, too.
I sat at my local cafe in Brooklyn, just a few months ago & read email after email in anguish —- of “sorry they are going to pass”, “the book is too niche for them”, “it’s not for their audience”.... as tears rolled down my cheeks, I’d call a friend to console me, this stuff hurts... all of my other books — playing very basic and safe, were always much easier to promote... But what if I told you, that I wrote this book while holding my Japanese grandmother’s hand in southern Japan, as she passed away .. what if I told you that I wrote it to heal my broken heart w the monks in the mountains & what if I told you I interviewed those who survived WWII including my family on overcoming struggles — what if I told you all we wanted to do was change the faith & future of true wellness — to get us back to basics & no frills.
What if I told you that mom & I spent three years writing & editing this book together? — we fought, we cried & we bonded & what if I told you that my whole team & I put painful hours behind this book’s process so that we could just do one thing — just help you. It is my legacy.
I’ve lost friends this year, painfully — that shit killed me inside— I worked on healing myself, alone & I’ve had more ups and downs than any past year of stepping away from basic wellness and “playing it safe” ...
as a journalist and writer — I’m going to go deeper & wider, I’m going to travel further than others & continue to help you be well, even if it’s the harder thing to do.
I’m back in NYC & I’m so happy to say, we persevered & the @todayshow is going to have us back on July 9th & my mentor @dr_oz & I will be back on making matcha July 16th.
I couldn’t believe it — things turned around & You simply can never lose hope ?♀️⚡️ Thank you to my squad & those of you who got the book & get that it is not niche, it is for the world to share ♥️ I love you & more on how I overcame this on my podcast in the am. #WabiSabi: you get what you give. ?? ? @kathrynmichael
