🎙️ Little IKIGAI Podcast
Welcome to Little IKIGAI Podcast, a quiet space for reflections on midlife, wellbeing, purpose and the experience of being human.
I'm Mayumi Kojima, a naturopath with a deep curiosity about IKIGAI, culture, the mind–body connection and the many ways we find meaning through different seasons of life.
Through personal reflections, ideas I've encountered through my work and learning, and conversations about ageing, menopause, identity and change, Little IKIGAI explores what it might mean to live with greater curiosity and connection to ourselves and the world around us.
There are no perfect answers here, just a little space to pause, wonder, and perhaps discover something meaningful along the way.
Episode 3: In the Space Between Seasons: Turning 50, Ikigai, and the Quiet Art of Becoming
In the Space Between Seasons is a short, reflective episode on midlife, Ikigai, and the quiet art of becoming.
Recorded just after turning fifty, this gentle meditation explores what it feels like to stand between who we were and who we are becoming — without rushing, fixing, or forcing clarity.
Inspired by Japanese wisdom such as wabi-sabi, ichigo ichie, and Ikigai, this episode is an invitation to slow down, listen inward, and honour the beauty of change.
A soft companion for walking, resting, or simply being.
