Feeling stuck in your job — or unsure what’s next? In this episode, I share how I went from feeling lost during my early expat journey to finding clarity through the Ikigai framework. It’s a powerful way to reconnect with what you love, what you’re good at, and what actually matters — plus I made a free workbook to help you reflect.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The story of how I found purpose in life using Ikigai
• Why so many people feel lost in their career — and why it’s totally normal
• A simple breakdown of the 4 Ikigai circles with examples and journaling prompts
• How to spot patterns between your passions, skills, and experiences
• What to do once you’ve mapped your answers (including real next steps)
• Why feeling misaligned isn’t failure — it’s a sign you’re growing

This episode is for ambitious expats in the Netherlands (or Europe) who are questioning their career path, craving more meaning, or ready for a shift.
