    I love the fact that you and Atsuko Okatsuka connected on the fact that you and her spent time living in garages. I really enjoyed her remarks while you were interviewing her. I spent the entire episode smiling. I really love that she brought out your funny side. She is so hillarious that I can imagine she makes you feel so comfortable to be silly around her. A really awesome, entertaining yet informative episode filled with really great takeaways.

    Atsuko's remarks on life in between jokes are 5th dimensional! There's so much to glean about how she responds and deals with life in these short, almost serious quips which sum up life so succinctly.

    Even when married, one can feel alone, and one can be battling alone; however, when the find the “right one,” one can feel a higher energy and ability to live life 💯😎
