In this episode of the EZ Conversations podcast, I welcome Momoko Uno, who shares her poignant yet humorous story of facing adversity, particularly during a traumatic hotel quarantine in Australia amidst the pandemic. Momoko discusses her memoir about this experience, which includes the loss of her mother during the quarantine. She reflects on how humor has been a coping mechanism for her, even in the darkest times. The discussion also delves into her journey from Australia to China for medical school, her draw to challenging situations, her views on grief and spirituality, and the importance of living life fully. Momoko's insights into using humor to cope with adversity, coupled with her professional experiences in medicine, provide a rich, multifaceted perspective on resilience and personal growth. Momoko Uno is a doctor of integrative and functional medicine. With her diverse expertise—including acupuncture, herbalism, and psychology—she offers a holistic approach to wellness through her practice, Omni Wellness NYC. Her work focuses on resilience and trauma recovery, reflected in her contributions as an author and speaker. 02:48 Introduction to Momoko's Story 03:25 The Hotel Quarantine Experience 04:33 Navigating Life's Challenges 05:41 Journey to Integrative Medicine 09:26 Coping with Grief and Loss 14:08 Finding Meaning and Moving Forward 20:16 Humor as a Coping Mechanism 23:19 Sharing Personal and Embarrassing Moments 23:55 A Funny Story About My Mom 26:01 The Role of Humor in Grief 27:05 Evolving Relationships After Loss 28:06 The Importance of Humor in Life 32:42 Self-Acceptance and Authenticity 34:17 Reflections on Life and Regrets 37:31 Concluding Thoughts and Resources Sponsors of the Podcast: BetterHelp: https://betterhelp.com/ez10 for 10% off your first month of therapy WeShape: https://weshape.postaffiliatepro.com/scripts/dcfogwyuk?a_aid=FurkhanDandia&a_bid=d7508fa8 for 35% all plans.
