Episode 1: Sachi – A Story of Joy, Grief, and Ikigai
In this opening episode, I share a deeply personal story about a black puppy named Sachi, a memory that still lives in my body, and the quiet thread of meaning that connects joy and grief.
It’s not a story about achievement or doing more, it’s about Ikigai in its purest form: a reason to live, found in something small, tender, and real.
If you’ve ever carried something unspoken… or longed to feel quietly alive again, this story is for you.
