Candice Kumai is an internationally-renowned wellness writer, chef & content creator, described by ELLE magazine as “The Golden Girl of the Wellness World.” Her new book, Kintsugi Wellness, is a guide of the Japanese traditions and principles that have cultivated her inner-strength, given her a gracious life, and provided the tools to live well.

I am so excited for this conversation. Candice talks about the years it took to grow her success in the wellness industry, growing up with a Japanese mother and a Polish-American father, and rebuilding her life after falling apart.
