Amanda, Thank you. I was exposed to the concept of ikigai a while ago; it was pushed aside for later and eventually ignored. Thank you for bringing it to life again. D
Love how you’ve written about this Amanda. I feel like the concept of Ikigai has been commandeered by the productivity gurus to show how you can find the perfect career/wealth/happiness balance. But you’re right, it’s meant to be much more holistic and gentler approach to filling your life with meaningful things.
Thanks Amanda - to answer your question, gardening, handwork, writing, spiritual companioning, travel, seeing my children's faces, tea - I could continue! Such a beautiful way to live presently.

Gentle and meaningful sounds way better to me than having productivity as your goal!
I always assumed ikigai was a single, shining and elusive goal. This makes it feel far simpler and already-present. Thank you 🙏
That’s lovely to hear it feels present already 😊

Lovely. Can’t believe I didn’t have tea on my list!
Yes to tea, although in the US it's weird to have tea rather than coffee on your list. My mom is an anglophile, so I love tea.
