    Jan 8 2026

    Have you ever felt like nothing is wrong in your life - but something just feels off?

    In this episode you will discover:

    • The difference between catabolic and anabolic energy - and why it matters more than your to-do list.

    As the year ends and a new one begins, many of us feel pressure to feel hopeful - but what if you're not? This episode invites you to pause and reflect on what you truly want, and why “fine” might be the most dangerous place to stay stuck.

Whether you're feeling stuck in your career, navigating family responsibilities, or questioning your purpose, this episode is for you.

    • Why “reinvention” doesn’t mean starting from scratch - but integrating your full self.

    • Learn how your energy levels and emotional state could be blocking your clarity and fulfillment.

    • Explore the power of your Ikigai to align passion, purpose, and abundance at any stage of life.


    Listen now to uncover how you can move from stagnation to purpose - and finally say yes to a more energized and aligned version of you.

    Dec 18 2025

    Send us a text

    Are you feeling out of alignment or wondering why your Energy is so off - even though life seems “fine” on the surface?

    In this mini episode from the 2026 Reinvention Series, we explore how paying attention to your Energy can gently guide you back to your Ikigai, especially if you’ve been feeling tired, misaligned, or unsure of what’s next.

    This isn’t about fixing your life or making a big decision.
    It’s about noticing the subtle signals your body and energy give you every day - the ones that quietly point you toward alignment.


    In this episode, you’ll discover:

    • How to read your "energy data" to uncover what's truly aligned with you - and what isn't.
    • How to reignite joy by revisiting passions or interests you may have forgotten, even if just for 10 minutes.
    • How to use the Ikigai framework in a softer, more approachable way that builds clarity without overwhelm.


    Tune in now to explore three simple energy shifts that will bring you closer to a life that feels vibrant, aligned, and unmistakably yours.

    If you’d like support exploring your Ikigai more deeply, you’re invited to book an Ikigai Discovery Session. No pressure. Just a conversation.

    Be gentle with yourself.
    Notice your energy.
    And trust where it’s guiding you next.
