Your Superpowers Redefined | Sachiko Cohen

Published: Sept. 16, 2020, 7 a.m.

When Sachiko was 18 years old, she left her hometown of Chiba in search of adventure and inspiration. From Japan to Switzerland, the US and back, she realized that adventure and inspiration sought her.  Listen in on this rich conversation with Sachiko Cohen: psychotherapist, coach, mama, and impassioned defender of the shy and the bullied. Prepare for enchantment.

Takeaways: 

1. You have a lasting impact on one person and many people, by being YOU. 

  • Show up - even if it’s messy, because your presence is real and relatable. 
  • Your genuineness may light the fire of creativity and advocacy in one other person, which is enough to start a movement. 

2. Our beliefs have power over us; let's challenge and disrupt them.

  • We can deconstruct a label, and break the power it has over us. 
  • We can re-wire and change a lifetime of default thinking. You're not "shy" after all. 

3.  Our instincts may be our superpower.

  • Listen to your natural responses. They are the blueprint of your unhindered, unlabeled self.
  • You were born gifted. The world needs people who embrace their strengths and abilities (challenges too) to serve as our leaders.  

4.  Nourishing our basic needs may be the highest form of self care. 

  • Reconnect with our base human needs (Maslow's Hierarchy) such as sleep, air, food, water and shelter.
  • We best serve our loved ones, clients and communities when we ensure we have provided for our wellness first. 

**NOTE**:  Technical glitches lent to the loss of most of Sachiko's two-part reply to the question: "What led you to pursuing this particular career?"

Sachiko's Answer:  We can disrupt the old therapy model of charging hourly to correlate with what we think we are worth. The value and services that therapist-coaches provide far transcends a price tag, especially when we shift our paradigm from one to one to an expansive one-to-many model. Serving more people creates deeper impact.
