#192: 5 Ways to Find Your Ikigai or Reason For Being During Career & Life Transitions

The Midlife Reinvention: How to Find Your Ikigai, Deal with Imposter Syndrome & Build Your Confidence in Career & Life Transitions

What if your next career or life chapter isn’t about “starting over” — but about rediscovering your Ikigai or Reason For Being?

Too often, we treat life or career transitions like external fixes — a new role, a new location, or a new routine. But real change starts within. In this mini episode, we explore how the Japanese concept of Ikigai can help you navigate your next chapter with purpose.

Whether you’re asking “What’s next?” after a job loss, empty nesting, or an inner voice calling for change, this episode will help you shift from confusion to clarity.

In this episode you'll discover:

1. Practical tools to uncover your Ikigai — even if you feel stuck or unsure
   
2. A powerful mindset shift between change vs. evolution during transitions
   
3. How to transform fear into fuel for your next move
   

🎧 Ready to reconnect with your purpose and create a life aligned with what truly matters?

Listen now to discover how Ikigai can guide you through your most meaningful transitions.
