Another incredibly beautiful episode!

This was an incredibly beautiful and thought-provoking episode that deeply resonated with me. The concept of Ikigai is crucial for finding fulfillment and happiness and have a purpose-driven life. I chose my profession because I considered it meaningful, but I also find purpose in my hobbies and helping people, being a part of a community where people provide a safe space and support system for each other. Small steps I can take each day to help me achieve Ikigai are for example excercise, cold training, journalling, connecting with community, reading and listening to podcasts. Thank you for this beautiful, inspiring and heartwarming episode, Stuart! You don’t know how much this podcast helps me to have a better life.

The journey is inspiring

This episode was very enlightening and educational, I had never heard of Ikigai before. I look forward to learning more on this topic. What touched me most about this episode was hearing the hope and inspiration in the voice of the host as he described what he had learned about finding his life’s passion and purpose, and figuring out ways to allow his different paths to diverge and become one beautiful life. One that he can also make a living with. Helping people, helping one’s self, and sustaining one’s self, and finding ways to have all of these things work together. Absolutely beautiful, heartwarming episode, and maybe one of my favorites.
