What if the key to managing overwhelm isn’t doing less, but having more yoyu? In Japanese, yoyu refers to the space, capacity, and reserves—whether time, money, energy, or emotional bandwidth—we need to meet life with ease.

Drawing from her book, Finding Yoyu: The Japanese Compass for Navigating Overwhelm and Cultivating Abundance in 7 Key Areas of Life, Marci will introduce this culturally grounded concept as a practical and empowering way to shift from survival mode to experiencing inner spaciousness. She will share how this everyday concept became her personal compass during a season of care-giving and crisis and how it now guides her coaching, writing, and daily life.

Whether you're navigating a demanding career, caring for others, or simply managing the pressures of modern life, yoyu offers a refreshing lens through which to assess your needs and reclaim balance. Join us for Marci's talk where you'll learn how to recognize when you’re running low on yoyu and discover simple ways to gently restore your reserves. You’ll leave with new language, fresh perspective, and practical tools to help you create space for what matters most.
