Podcasts about Ikigai

Coaching und Spiritualität – passt das zusammen? In unserer neuen Podcastfolge aus der Reihe "COACHE WERDEN" sprechen wir über ein Thema, das viele Menschen in der Entscheidungsphase für eine Coachingausbildung bewegt: Wie spirituell darf Coaching sein – und wo ziehen wir eine klare Grenze? Wir klären, was Spiritualität im Unterschied zu Religion oder Esoterik bedeutet, zeigen auf, wie Achtsamkeit, Sinnsuche oder Rituale professionell integriert werden können – und wo aus unserer Sicht klare ethische Standards gelten. Wenn du dich gerade fragst, wie du persönlich zu diesem Thema stehst, und wie du Spiritualität in deiner künftigen Coachingpraxis einordnen würdest, dann ist diese Folge genau richtig für dich.

One of the best tools you can use to establish and map out your true business purpose is IKIGAI. Today, I'm bringing back my #1 most-listened-to episode as a reset, so you can build a meaningful & profitable business. Get Your Ikigai Guide Here! READ MORE HERE

Amy Chavez and Hector Garcia discuss his recently released book, The Spirit of Shinto, and how Shinto's worldview permeates pop culture—anime, manga, films—where good and evil often blur, echoing the idea that kegare (dirt, corruption) must be cleansed rather than destroyed. Unlike Western religions where God is above, Shinto gods exist among people, as seen in Makoto Shinkai's films or games like Ghost in the Shell and Nintendo's video games. Hector, a Tokyoite himself, urges people to seek the Shinto "awe" in their daily lives since Shinto should not be explained but lived. At the very end of the episode, Garcia talks about his just-released novel Eternity in Kyoto a techno thriller with a love story that employs the Shinto concept of crossing through a gate and entering a parallel world. The Books on Asia Podcast is co-produced with Plum Rain Press.

Jane shares practical exercises like free writing to help individuals discover their purpose. The Gender Pension Gap: Women often retire with significantly less in pension savings compared to men, primarily due to salary disparities and career breaks. Jane stresses the importance of considering pension wealth in life planning, especially during major life transitions like divorce.

What if work wasn't something we simply endured, but instead became a vibrant source of meaning and purpose? Kensuke Yamamoto, senior consultant at Vanto Group, joins us to challenge the deeply ingrained assumption that work must be an obligation rather than a wellspring of fulfillment.Against the backdrop of Japan's evolving business landscape—where 99.7% of companies are small and medium enterprises facing unprecedented demographic challenges—Kensuke reveals how the concept of ikigai (life purpose) can transform workplace cultures. Drawing from his experience implementing high-performance initiatives across Japanese organizations, he explores the striking contrast between Western individualistic approaches to job satisfaction and the Japanese emphasis on finding meaning through relationships, harmony, and contribution to others.Delving into Vanto Group's groundbreaking methodology, Kensuke illuminates how changing the way situations "occur" to people fundamentally shifts their actions and engagement. Using the powerful metaphor of three bricklayers—one merely laying bricks, another building a wall, and a third constructing a cathedral—he demonstrates how vision and purpose elevate ordinary tasks into meaningful contributions. The conversation weaves together Japanese concepts like yarigai (sense of meaning in tasks), hatarakigai (fulfillment from the work environment), and ibasho (psychological belonging) to paint a comprehensive picture of what truly enables people to thrive at work.Whether you're leading a team, reimagining your organization's culture, or seeking greater meaning in your own career, this conversation offers profound insights into creating workplaces where both people and results flourish. Join us as we explore how intentional dialogue about purpose can transform obligation into opportunity, and how the integration of ikigai principles might just be the key to sustainable business success in our rapidly changing world.

What gives meaning to your life when faced with loss and challenge? For Andriana Ubuduki-Kalfa, the answer emerged at her mother's funeral when a Japanese friend approached her about meeting her daughter, saying simply: "she was your mother's ikigai."This profound moment transformed Andriana's understanding of ikigai beyond the familiar Western interpretation of four overlapping circles. As a Japanese-Greek performance coach with over 30 years of experience bridging cultural differences, Andriana discovered that ikigai can be found in the simplest pleasures—a morning coffee, a dog's greeting—or in profound connections to people and places that sustain us through life's darkest moments.Our conversation explores how Andriana blends the Greek love of dialogue (rooted in the Socratic method) with Japanese concepts like mindfulness, kaizen, and kokorozashi (warrior spirit) to help Olympic athletes and executives achieve remarkable results. She shares moving personal stories, including how visualizing a small harbor in the Greek islands became her mental "resting port" during a serious health challenge, carrying her through surgery and recovery with hope and purpose.Most powerfully, Andriana reveals how reconnecting with our inner child leads us back to our authentic selves—"where real clarity lives." By approaching life with shoshin (beginner's mind) and kokishin (curiosity), we create space for deep observation and reconnection with what truly matters.Whether you're seeking better performance, deeper meaning, or simply a fresh perspective on life's challenges, this conversation offers wisdom that bridges Eastern and Western traditions in surprisingly practical ways. The insights shared might just help you discover your own ikigai—that special something that makes your life worth living each day.

Should you be a generalist or a specialist when it comes to property investing - and life? Today’s guest, Simon Borham, shares why sustainable success belongs to those who specialise with a unique point of difference. In this episode, Bushy Martin sits down with Simon from Eastview Advisory to explore the journey from early mistakes to a powerful property playbook.

How cheap decisions become the most expensive mistakes you’ll ever make. The shift from residential value-add projects to long-lease, A-grade commercial assets. Why a great adviser is the difference between dreaming and doing. The real power of niche specialisation in a generalist field.

What happens when a 16-year career break becomes the foundation for a more purposeful professional life? Priya Venkatesan's story challenges everything we think we know about linear career paths and proves that "starting over" can actually mean starting stronger. From computer science in India to business systems analysis at UC Davis, Priya's journey through immigration, visa restrictions, motherhood, and career re-entry offers practical insights for anyone navigating non-traditional career paths—especially immigrant professionals rebuilding their careers in new countries. About Our Guest Priya Venkatesan is a Business Systems Analyst at UC Davis, where she champions process improvement and employee development. With a background spanning finance, education, and technology, she brings expertise as a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, Certified Scrum Master, and Gallup CliftonStrengths Coach. After returning to the workforce following a 16-year career break, Priya now empowers others on similar journeys by sharing resources and guidance. At UC Davis, she revitalizes the Lean Community of Practice, facilitates Yellow Belt trainings, and designs engaging e-learning tools that make process improvement accessible and impactful. A passionate public speaker, Priya frequently presents at conferences on topics ranging from process improvement to Ikigai, where she shares her knowledge of purpose and fulfillment. The Journey: From India to Career Break to UC Davis Early Career in India: Priya earned her Bachelor's and Master's in Computer Science, working as a trainer at computer institutes during the Y2K boom and later as a project analyst at ICICI Bank in Hyderabad. Immigration and Visa Challenges: Marriage brought relocation to California on an H4 dependent visa—which didn't allow her to work. This experience highlights a reality many immigrants face: having qualifications but legal barriers to employment. The 16-Year Break: What started as a visa restriction evolved into full-time parenting and family management. Priya emphasizes this wasn't lost time—it was skill-building time, just in different areas. Re-entry Strategy: Personal challenges motivated her return to work. Rather than jumping back into her old field, she took time to reflect, reskill, and discover new passions in business analysis and process improvement. Essential Insights for Career Re-entry Use This Time to Reflect: "This is the time to think about: do you want to get back into the same career path you were before? Take time to reflect on where your passions lie and learn something new if you want to reskill yourself." Recognize Your Transferable Skills: Organizing school events, managing family schedules, coordinating with other parents—these aren't just "mom duties," they're project management, communication, and strategic operations skills. Don't Self-Reject: "Women usually don't apply if they don't match 100% of requirements. Even if you have 50-60% match in a job description, go and apply. Don't self-reject. You never know who comes knocking." Start Where You Are: Priya's first job back was part-time proctoring online exams. "I felt like I failed miserably the first day—all my colleagues were young college kids who could do everything fast. But I learned on the job. No job is inferior to another job." From Computer Science to Business Analysis Priya's career pivot illustrates how skills transfer across industries: "I realized through volunteering at my kids' schools that I enjoyed organizing, communicating with other parents, and putting together events. I love to act as a liaison between technology and business—that's where business analysis comes in." Her current role combines presentation, training, instructional design, and process improvement—skills she developed through years of community involvement and natural strengths. Overcoming Imposter Syndrome and Age Bias Address the Inner Critic: "Don't think 'I'm so old, I cannot do this.' Never. Every job you do is a learning experience." Embrace Learning: At UC Davis, Priya says, "I'm not working here, I'm actually studying here" because of the continuous learning opportunities in higher education. Volunteer for Growth: She chairs committees and serves on employee resource groups as volunteer opportunities that develop leadership skills and visibility.

Your business isn't a Disney movie—hope is not a strategy. In this episode, Leigh Farnell shares “Make a Dollar to Stay in the Game”, a no-nonsense anthem for entrepreneurs, creators, and business owners who want to combine passion with profit. It's about cutting the distractions, ditching the “busy for busy's sake” mindset, and focusing on what actually brings in revenue. From Michael Gudinski's golden rule—“If you can't sell it, don't make it”—to the Japanese concept of Ikigai, Leigh shows how to build a business where doing what you love also pays the bills. If it doesn't make a dollar, why are you doing it?   I wanted a constant reminder that I need to stay focused on measurable outcomes when it comes to business.. to not just entertain myself and my creative mind.. That I need to do things that add commercial value.. not just creative value... So.. I gave GPT chat these instructions.. write a song about not getting distracted.. if it is not going to make me a dollar why am I doing it? .. the commercial mindset.. you can't stay in business if you don't make a dollar.. have the make a dollar mindset not the 'lets entertain myself' mindset.. its not about being busy.. its about making a dollar so you can stay in the game.. as Michael Gudinski once said 'if you can't sell it, don't make it..' the commercial mindset not the artist mindset.. combine your artist mindset, your do good mindset with your commercial mindset.. Ikigai means getting paid for doing what you love.. not just do what you love and hope it all comes out well.. 'build it and they will come' was in a movie.. make sure they will come before you build it.. hope is not a plan.. your business is not a disney movie.. its a business.. people need to pay you for what you do.. This is what it created..

Here's what I see constantly with brilliant coaches and service providers: You know you're amazing at what you do, but if you're trying to help everyone, you're actually helping no one. When you lack ideal client clarity, you end up spinning your wheels and wondering why your expertise isn't translating into consistent income. Generic messaging attracts nobody. Specific messaging attracts exactly the right people and repels the wrong ones. In this live coaching episode, I'm working with Monina, a 20-year beauty industry veteran struggling with the exact challenge that keeps most coaches stuck. Through our real-time conversation, we go from confusion to crystal clarity using my proven framework. You'll discover: The Ikigai framework for finding your profitable ideal client intersection The "splinter in the foot" client theory that changes everything Why course vs. program language kills or creates connection Monina's breakthrough moment when we identified her true zone of genius How specificity beats generalization every single time Resources mentioned: Free coaching questions: https://amanda-walker.com/home/questions/ Strategy call: amanda-walker.com/letschat Connect with Monina: Modern D studio, The Beauty Lab Podcast Connect with Amanda: @awalkmyway

¿Y si existiera un estado mental capaz de calmar la ansiedad y a la vez mejorar drásticamente tu rendimiento, creatividad y concentración? Pues existe, y se llama estado de flujo. En este apasionante episodio de La Teoría de la Mente, Rubén Casado conversa con el neurocirujano Osmand Salazar, para descubrir qué es este misterioso y poderoso estado mental... y cómo podemos inducirlo de forma práctica en nuestras vidas. ⚡ El estado de flujo, también conocido como “flow”, es ese momento en el que todo encaja: el tiempo desaparece, el juicio se desvanece, y estás completamente presente y entregado a lo que estás haciendo. Pero ¿sabías que este estado no solo mejora tu productividad, sino que también activa regiones cerebrales opuestas a las que intervienen en la ansiedad? Es, literalmente, un antídoto natural para el estrés. A lo largo del episodio, exploramos temas clave como: Qué es el estado de flujo y cómo identificarlo en la vida cotidiana. ‍♂️ Por qué es el estado mental opuesto a la ansiedad. Qué sucede en tu cerebro cuando entras en flow (y qué tiene que ver la dopamina). Cómo puede ayudarte si sufres de ansiedad o bloqueo emocional. ️ Técnicas prácticas y ejercicios para entrar en flujo a voluntad. Conexiones con tradiciones ancestrales como Samādhi, Wu Wei, Mushin, Ikigai, Ataraxia y Fanaa, que desde hace siglos ya intuían lo que hoy la neurociencia empieza a confirmar. Además, hablamos de las investigaciones del psicólogo Mihály Csíkszentmihályi, quien acuñó el término "flow", y de cómo sus descubrimientos están revolucionando tanto el campo de la psicología positiva como el tratamiento de la ansiedad y el bienestar emocional. Reflexionamos sobre una idea poderosa: Fluir es una forma de vivir. Y todos podemos aprender a cultivarla. Así que si buscas más serenidad, claridad mental y una mayor conexión contigo mismo, este episodio te abrirá puertas que quizás no sabías que existían.

Author and speaker Scott Pectol shares how he went from stressed, sleep-deprived, and on autopilot to energized, leaner, and purpose-driven—without extreme gimmicks. After a harsh wake-up call from his doctor, a deep dive into sleep science, Blue Zones eating, and the “happiness macronutrients” (enjoyment, satisfaction, purpose) reshaped Scott's health and mindset. He breaks down the morning routine that keeps him consistent (pushups, walking, meditation, cold showers), why he chose an alcohol-free path, and how to build a lifestyle that supports fat loss, better sleep, and long-term happiness. What You'll Learn Why sleep is the #1 lever for energy, cravings, and sustainable fat loss The difference between enjoyment vs. satisfaction vs. purpose—and why most of us over-index on quick hits How Scott cut alcohol (and kept his social life) during the lockdown—and why energy became the ultimate motivator Blue Zones-inspired eating (beans/legumes, fiber, minimally processed foods) and real-world experiments that guided his diet A simple monk-style morning routine to hard-wire consistency and self-trust How to use ikigai to align work, health, and purpose Culture vs. biology: why ultra-processed foods hijack dopamine and wreck sleep, mood, and metabolism Tiny “do-it-today” actions that compound: walking, hydration, morning light, breathwork, and cold exposure Notable Quotes “Energy is the first ingredient of happiness—and sleep is the first ingredient of energy.” “Do one hard thing every morning you don't want to do that benefits your future self.” “I stopped outsourcing my emotions to food, alcohol, and TV—and took ownership.” “Walk, sleep, and simple whole foods beat hacks and heroics—consistency wins.” CTA If this episode helped you, follow/subscribe and leave a rating & review—it helps more people find the show.

Show Notes: Simon Western is joined by Yoko Kunii Aldous - lecturer, coach, hypnotherapist and cultural translator - to explore the deeper roots of this Japanese concept, revealing it to be less a “life purpose formula” and more a way of being-in-the-world.  Yoko reflects on her journey from Japan to the UK and how living between languages and cultures opens up inner landscapes. She shares the real history of Ikigai - not as a productivity hack, but a pre-capitalist way of locating oneself in community and cosmos - and interrogates why the popular Western Venn diagram (“what you love, what you're good at…”) oversimplifies and erases its cultural nuance. Drawing on Japanese concepts, Yoko frames language as a worldview where nature, spirit, and objects are integral to self-understanding. She speaks of spirituality in everyday life - from cherry blossoms to chopsticks - and explains why Ikigai should be seen as fluid, shifting across life stages and relationships, rather than as a fixed endpoint. The conversation explores the tension between individualism and collective responsibility, asking whether one can truly have Ikigai without caring for the village. From embracing imperfection through wabi-sabi, to recognising sacrifice and service as pathways to fulfilment, the episode challenges Western coaching to move beyond self-improvement toward a more relational, ecological, and culturally entangled way of living. Key Reflections: True Ikigai cannot be pinned down or defined - it must be lived Culture shapes not only what we think, but how we feel our way into meaning Japanese aesthetics embrace imperfection (wabi-sabi) as essential to beauty and purpose Spirituality in Japan is woven into the everyday - from teacups to trees Personal meaning and collective wellbeing are not separate projects Every item has a spirit Keywords: Ikigai, cultural insights, coaching, psychology, Japan, Western perspectives, personal development, spirituality, Venn diagram   Brief Bio: Yoko Kunii Aldous is an award-winning university lecturer, coach, and language and culture trainer for the Ministry of Defence. She holds an MA in Applied Linguistics and an MSc in Coaching Psychology, and is a certified coach, hypnotherapist, and yoga instructor. Her background in language and communication informs her work in higher education, cross-cultural training, and personal development coaching. Her latest research explores how the Japanese concept of Ikigai is understood and applied by non-Japanese coaches. Her study critically examines how Ikigai is interpreted and integrated into coaching practices outside Japan, revealing common misconceptions and promoting a more culturally authentic understanding. This work was recognised with the Best Early Career Research Paper award by BPS Division of Coaching Psychology. By integrating Eastern philosophy with Western psychological theory, Yoko offers a coaching approach that is reflective, holistic, and grounded in cultural nuance. She supports individuals and professionals in aligning their core values with purposeful action, towards meaningful and sustainable change.

Welcome to the fifth episode of our miniseries on Finding Your Ikigai, where we invite a series of guests to explore what it truly means to live a good life, incorporating the concept of Ikigai alongside Providend's Philosophy of Sufficiency. As trusted advisers to affluent clients for over two decades, we've always advocated that clients prioritise life decisions before financial ones. These life decisions are what we refer to as “Ikigai” decisions. In this episode, our Founder and CEO, Christopher Tan, sits down with two of his long time friends and army buddies, Han Kiat, an Associate Professor, and Maurice, an Accountant, to talk about all things ikigai and the role it plays in their lives. For Han Kiat and Maurice, choosing to serve in the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) beyond the mandatory ten years was not just a commitment, it became their ikigai, a purpose they held closely for much of their early adult lives. Now as fathers, they reflect on their shared experiences, even as their sons serve in different vocations during their National Service. Does a different path diminish the value of their own ikigai? And how did they bridge the gap between those differences with their sons?They reflected on how simple, ordinary moments, and being there for one another over the years, can become something deeply meaningful and also part of their ikigai.You may find Han Kiat's full letter mentioned in the podcast here: https://providend.com/finding-ikigai-saf-fatherhood/Through deep conversations with our advisers, you will gain clarity on what matters most in life and what needs to be done to live a good life, both financially and non-financially—with your Ikigai goals at the forefront of your wealth plan.Music courtesy of ItsWatR.The host of this episode, Christopher Tan, is Chief Executive Officer of Providend, Singapore's first fee-only wealth advisory firm and author of the book “Money Wisdom: Simple Truths for Financial Wellness”.The full list of Providend's Money Wisdom podcast episodes from Season 4 can be found here.Did you know that our Providend's Money Wisdom podcast is now available in video format on YouTube?

What happens when a successful financial advisor abandons commissions to build an ethical wealth management company? Christopher Tan takes us through his remarkable journey from sleeping on his family's living room floor to founding Provident, a fee-only wealth advisory firm in Singapore that's redefining how financial decisions serve life's most meaningful pursuits.Chris reveals the formative experiences that shaped his ethical compass: growing up in a humble family where his bus driver father's earnings were stretched by his resourceful mother, developing leadership skills during six years as an army officer, and experiencing a moral awakening when a client questioned why he kept selling him unnecessary insurance products. This pivotal moment led Chris to walk away from lucrative recurring commissions to establish a company aligned with his values.The path wasn't easy. Launching his firm on September 11, 2001, facing licensing delays, and navigating the 2008 financial crisis where his company lost $100 million in three months tested his resolve. Yet these challenges crystallized his "philosophy of sufficiency" – a powerful approach that reframes contentment not as settling for less, but actively identifying what truly matters and arranging finances to support those priorities.What makes Chris's approach extraordinary is how he's integrated the Japanese concept of ikigai into wealth management. Rather than pushing clients to accumulate endlessly, he helps them make what he calls "ikigai decisions" – life choices that reflect their deepest values – before making financial ones. This paradigm shift has transformed how his clients view money: not as the goal, but as the enabler of a life worth living.Beyond client relationships, Chris has created what he calls a "corporate family" culture where employees find psychological safety, grace, and forgiveness alongside professional accountability. His dedication to developing the next generation of ethical leaders while honoring their own sources of meaning exemplifies his holistic understanding of true wealth.Ready to rethink your relationship with money? Join us for this thought-provoking conversation that challenges conventional financial wisdom and offers a more fulfilling path forward. How might your life change if your financial decisions followed your life decisions, not led them?
