In this episode, Amanda sits down with Ikigai expert Nick Kemp to explore the Japanese concept of Ikigai—your “reason for being.” They dive beyond the Western Venn diagram version to uncover the deeper, personal, and philosophical meaning behind finding purpose and joy in life.

Nick shares his journey from discovering Ikigai in Japan to becoming a coach, and they explore how this timeless philosophy can help you align your passions, skills, contributions, and even income in a way that truly resonates.

Whether you’re looking to gain clarity, create more meaning in your daily life, or simply feel more aligned with who you are, this episode is full of actionable insights and inspiration to help you start your own Ikigai journey.
