Breaking Free From the Containers with Masako Kozawa

Welcome back to another Friday episode of AuthentiKate & Nate, friends! Today our guest is Masako Kozawa. Masako is a Japanese American who spent the first 21 years of her life in Japan before coming to the U.S. to attend college. She has now been in the U.S. for 20 years and what she has learned through her cultural, religious and personal journey is amazing and eye-opening. Masako shares with us how she navigated her divorce from her husband and becoming a single mother, as well as what it means to be a Christian and live within the Christian community as a divorced woman. She also shares her perspective on breaking free from containers, whether they be cultural, religious, relational, professional or otherwise, and what we can all learn from asking ourselves some hard questions and doing some deep inner work to show up as our authentic, best and true selves in the world. We hope you learn a lot and really enjoy this episode and please give Masako some love at the links where you can find her below!
