🎙️ Little IKIGAI Podcast
Little IKIGAI: A Cup of Storytelling is a gentle podcast exploring how small, honest moments can carry deep purpose.
Hosted by Mayumi, a naturopath rooted in natural healing, Tibetan medicine, and mind–body insight, each episode offers reflective storytelling to soothe, stir, and reconnect you with what matters.
Whether it’s a memory, a dog, a decision, or a kitchen dance, meaning often hides in the quietest places.
Pour yourself a cup of tea. Take a breath. Let’s listen for the whispers of Ikigai in everyday life.

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.
