Episode 3: In the Space Between Seasons: Turning 50, Ikigai, and the Quiet Art of Becoming
In the Space Between Seasons
A gentle midlife reflection on turning fifty, Ikigai, and learning to breathe with change.
This short audio piece was recorded just after a quiet personal threshold — a time when life began to feel less about striving and more about listening. Drawing on Japanese wisdom such as wabi-sabi (the beauty of impermanence), ichigo ichie (this moment, once in a lifetime), and Ikigai (the quiet reason to keep living), this episode offers a soft space to pause and reconnect with what still matters.
It is not a talk about productivity or self-improvement.
It is an invitation to be present with where you are, as you are.
Perfect for listening while walking, resting, or sitting with a cup of tea.
