Finding Yoyu: The Japanese Compass for Navigating Overwhelm and Cultivating Abundance in 7 Key Areas of Life 

Finding Yoyu offers a unique approach to self-care based on the Japanese concept of yoyu—an untranslatable term that Westerners may associate with energy, personal wherewithal, bandwidth, or reserves.

The yoyu concept allows us to make sense of the burdens we feel so that we can find a sustainable way to live our lives, feeling empowered and fulfilled.
