But Buddhism teaches us how to live a life of unlimited courage. \r\n\r\nOur guest is Jenny Ye, of Michigan who started her practice of SGI Nichiren Buddhism as a teenager in South Korea.\r\n\r\nAfter being given little choice about her career options because of her gender, she decided to chant to transform her relationship with her family and believe in her own dreams. \r\n\r\nToday, she shares that journey and how, after conquering her fears back home, she was able to navigate entering a male-dominated industry in the United States, where she faced similar disbelief. Still, she won over it all.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/ajGdaFVXQdQ3HytTaqBKAiF5Huk2qkLdKcWvWB5oclw/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzE0MTg0LzE2MDEz/MTA2MTEtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
