<p>In this follow-up to The Slow Death of the Do-er, Mae explores what it truly feels like to “just observe” when fear arises. She reveals how real surrender isn’t about silencing fear, but meeting it with gentle awareness—kizuki. This honest reflection offers a step-by-step glimpse into moving from fear-based doing to soul-aligned flow.</p><p></p><p><strong>Mae Yoshikawa</strong></p><p>Mae Yoshikawa is the creator of <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://kizukijournaling.com/">the Kizuki Journaling MAE Y method™</a>, a powerful tool for self-awareness and transformation.

<p>In this deeply personal episode, Mae reflects on what it actually feels like to live inside the spiral—not as an idea, but as a lived, looping journey. She shares a recent kizuki around the subtle performance of surrender, and what happened when she finally allowed herself to stop trying and just soften. An invitation to all of us who are tired of striving: maybe your softness is already the return.</p><p></p><p><strong>Mae Yoshikawa</strong></p><p>Mae Yoshikawa is the creator of <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://kizukijournaling.com/">the Kizuki Journaling MAE Y method™</a>, a powerful tool for self-awareness and transformation.

<p>In this episode, Mae reflects on her spiritual development through the metaphor of the spiral, exploring the quiet shift from mental mapping to simply being—letting go of the personality’s need to plan or perform. A journal entry from two years ago reveals she’s been here before, contemplating surrender. But this time, it’s different. The episode gently invites listeners to recognize their own patterns not as stuckness, but as a sacred rising into a new level of awareness.</p><p></p><p><strong>Mae Yoshikawa</strong></p><p>Mae is an author, yoga & meditation practitioner, teacher, and mother.
