In this episode, I introduce the 1st of a four-part mini-series on how to return to your essence. If you are feeling a little lost or out of alignment, or maybe just need reminding of the things that are most important, then this episode if for you.

Part 1 is all about doing what you love. I discuss how this is related to Boldy Minimal Living & why its so important for us to feel deep satisfaction & a sense of purpose.

Doing what we love is about a feeling from within, not about external validation. If we're honest with ourselves, we live according to our authentic desires, and won't be led astray by our ego or other people's expectations.

I share my personal experiences of loosing track of what I loved to do, and some simple tricks & tools that I used to get back on track.

Main Topics Discussed

• Why doing things we love is so important:
• It's more sustainable - in terms of our energy.
• It brings deep joy & satisfaction
• It helps to break prejudices when we live more authentically.
• The dangers of loosing touch with what we love.
• How our body gives us the clues to come back to our essence.
• How it feels to do what you love; a deep inner knowing NOT external validation
• Breaking the misconception that doing with you love is challenge free & always easy.
• How we are all so different & should embrace our authentic desires.
• How to integrate what we love in daily life.
