Ikigai
The idea of Ikigai first appeared to me a couple of years ago when Matt Gray mentioned it.
After some in-depth research, it was like WOW!!
However, life or should I say sickness got hold of me, and I let Ikigai go, just concentrating on getting well.
It wasn’t until I was lying in the hospital with lots of time on my hands, I started reflecting on my life, trying to understand what some of the missing links were.
I have a great partner, three beautiful children, relevantly financially secure, a fulfilling spiritual path, and, of course, two cats who love me.
Still, something was missing.
After picking up the book Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life, I rediscovered Ikigai, a reconnection.
Realizing Ikigai was the missing link to my purpose filled life.
So I recontinued the Ikigai journey, I studied and became a certified Ikigai Coach.

The connection I needed was to bring the community into my journey; it just made so much sense.
So Ikigai became my Ikiga
Motivation
Motivation isn’t about hype, and it isn’t about fleeting feelings. It’s the quiet force behind every meaningful change you’ve ever made. I’ve learned that real motivation doesn’t strike like lightning — it’s something you cultivate, moment by moment, choice by choice.
For me, motivation grew strongest during life’s hardest seasons. The times when I had every reason to slow down, give up, or make excuses — and yet, something deeper kept whispering: get up, try again. That’s what true motivation is. It’s not a one-time push. It’s a commitment to your own future.
When you connect your daily actions to a purpose you believe in, motivation becomes natural, even on the tough days. My goal is to help you bridge that gap — between knowing you want change and actually having the fuel to sustain it. Motivation doesn’t need to be complicated. It just needs to be real.
Mindset
Mindset is the lens that colors everything you see, do, and believe. When I first began exploring the power of mindset, I realized how much of my life was built around assumptions I never chose — patterns shaped by old stories and habits I thought were “just the way things are.”
The biggest shift came when I started asking better questions: What if the way I think is the very thing limiting what’s possible? What if I chose new beliefs on purpose?
That’s when life started to change.
Mindset isn’t about positive thinking alone — it’s about training your mind to work for you, not against you. Whether you want to reach new goals, deepen your purpose, or simply show up stronger every day, it all starts with how you think. Your mindset creates your world. Let’s start shaping one you actually want to live in.
