    Ikigai, Life Purpose and Self-Love with Audrea Turgeman

    In this episode, I continue my conversation with Audrea Turgeman about what it really means to live with purpose and intention. Audrea introduces the Japanese concept of Ikigai - the meeting point of what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for. We explore how Ikigai can help bring more fulfilment into daily life, as well as the challenges of new motherhood, the courage it takes to reinvent yourself, and the importance of boundaries in protecting your energy. We also talk about the role of self-love in building real connection, how to respond with love in difficult situations, and why self-love is not the same as ego or narcissism. This conversation is full of wisdom and practical insights, and I hope it encourages you to pause, reflect, and choose love over fear as you move forward on your own journey of purpose.
