126 What Happened the Last Time I Let Go

After years of understanding the grief of losing her husband, Mae recognizes a trauma response she hadn’t fully seen before—and the surprising intelligence behind it. If our deepest protections were formed in response to something that actually happened, how do we loosen them when life can offer no guarantee it won’t happen again? This episode explores the difficult invitation to receive, trust, and love anyway.

125 The Inheritance of Absence

A child can turn a parent’s limitations into beliefs about their own worth. By looking at how absence is passed down through generations, this episode reveals a crucial distinction: what we did not receive mattered deeply, but it never determined our worth. It explores how inherited pain becomes identity—and how recognizing what was never ours to begin with can help break the cycle.

124 The Master Wound — I’m Not Worthy

Mae uncovers what may be one of the core kizukis of her life: beneath her patterns of independence, achievement, and difficulty receiving was an old question about whether she was worthy of existing at all. What begins as an exploration of money leads her back to childhood, worthiness, and the realization that she no longer has to apologize for taking up space.

123 Authority Issues

Mae explores how early experiences of feeling unprotected by authority unknowingly shaped her relationship with power and leadership. She discovers that stepping into her own authority doesn’t mean becoming what she once feared; she gets to decide what kind of authority she becomes.

122 I Want to Do Something Bad

After joking that she wanted to “do something bad,” Mae is unexpectedly confronted with a Tokyo exhibition that invites visitors to steal. What begins as a humorous exchange with a friend leads to a much deeper realization: she wasn’t craving rebellion at all. She was longing for freedom from the constant inner supervision that had shaped her life for years. In this episode, Mae explores the difference between self-control and self-trust—and the freedom that begins when we stop constantly watching ourselves.

121 Invited to the Italian Table

After a scene of an Italian family gathered around a long dinner table lingers in her heart, Mae realizes that what she’s been searching for was never romance—it was belonging. Through stories from her childhood and reflections on the communities she has built over the years, she discovers that the table she thought she had lost never disappeared. It only became bigger, making room for others to feel seen, safe, and at home.

120 A Conversation with Life

Beneath years of healing, grief, and self-discovery, Mae had also been deeply angry with Life itself. Through an imagined conversation with Life, she explores trust, pain, and what becomes possible when we stop resisting our most existential questions and allow honesty to become the beginning of healing.

119 The Abundance Apology

Mae explores the Japanese concept of mottainai (“what a waste”) and the subtle line between reverence and fear. Reflecting on cultural inheritance, nature’s extravagant abundance, and her own relationship with receiving, she invites listeners to consider whether they’ve mistaken shrinking themselves for humility—and what becomes possible when they no longer apologize for abundance.

118 Uncomfortable as Hell

Mae explores the surprising discomfort that can arise when lifelong identities begin to dissolve. Through reflections on old roles, pathless woods, and the freedom of not needing a new job description, she invites listeners to consider that perhaps what’s disappearing isn’t who they are—but who they believed they had to be.

117 From the Rebel to the Receiver

A series of quiet evenings led Mae to an unexpected realization: after letting go of old identities built around striving and endurance, the next chapter wasn’t rebellion—it was learning to receive. Through ordinary moments with her family and a heartfelt exchange with her son, she explores how healing may be less about solving life and more about allowing love, happiness, and uncertainty to be fully received.
