First off, a huge warm welcome if you are new to my FAB FRIDAY/INBOXpiration family! I SEE you & I’m SO glad you’re here ♡
Now, a special greeting to the wonderful soul who reached out asking, “What exactly does Ikigai mean?” Thank you for asking love!
This is such a beautiful and important question, and it’s the very heart of the second movement we’re building together ☆
So, let’s dive in…shall we?
Ikigai: The Symphony of Your Soul
Pronounced ick-ee-guy, this beautiful Japanese concept is often translated as your “reason for being.”
It’s the sweet spot, the harmonious convergence where four essential elements meet:
· What you LOVE (Your Passion)
· What you are GOOD AT (Your Vocation)
· What the WORLD NEEDS (Your Mission)
· What you can be PAID FOR (Your Profession)
Traditionally, it’s seen as one single, perfect point of alignment.
And while that is a beautiful notion—if you are creative, visionary & multi-talented—it can feel constricting.
It can sound like you have to find that one thing and that’s it.
But, what if you are not a single-note instrument? What if you are a whole freaking orchestra?!
Why The Multlkigai Movement is Your Liberation
This is the very reason I channeled the ‘MultIkigai Movement’. Because TOO many brilliant, heart-centred entrepreneurs are told they must “PICK A LANE.”
We’re told that to be “serious,” “credible” “professional,” or “successful,” we must niche down into one tiny sliver of our incredible selves.
We dim our light, silence our other passions, and put our myriad of talents in a box, all for the sake of being easily understood.
Well, I’m here to call that out for what it is: a fast track to boredom, burnout, and playing far, far smaller than you were born for!
Your multitude of passions isn’t a distraction; it’s your superpower. Your many talents aren’t a lack of focus; they are your unique ecosystem of genius.The MultIkigai Movement stands for:
· You CAN be a healer AND a writer.
· You CAN be a coach AND an artist.
· You CAN be a speaker AND a product creator.
· You CAN be a CEO AND a community builder.
Heck I have SEVEN Ikigais…lol!
Your different “ikigais” don’t compete; they compound. They inform each other. Your artistry makes your coaching more intuitive. Your strategic mind makes your art more impactful.
This beautiful, interconnected web of what you offer is what makes you utterly magnetic and irreplaceable ☆
Your Official Permission Slip
Consider this FAB FRIDAY your official, embossed, gold-starred PERMISSION SLIP!
Permission to… …EXPAND instead of contract. …INTEGRATE instead of separate. …EXPERIMENT instead of rigidly stick to a plan that no longer fits your soul. …be gloriously, unapologetically MULTI- everything. Multi-passionate. Multi-talented. Multi-impactful!
You were not born to die with your REAL MUSIC still in you.
You were born to play your entire symphony—every movement, every note, every quiet pause and every crashing crescendo!
The world doesn’t need another bored person stuck in a single lane. It needs YOU, in all your multifaceted, heart-centred, wildly aligned, authentic & FULLY self-expressed glory!
It needs your MultIkigai ☆
So this weekend, I invite you to ask yourself: “Where have I been picking a lane when my soul is begging for an entire highway?”
Then, take one small, brave step into your expansion. Your community—and your soul—will thank you for it ♡
A gentle reminder that millionaires & billionaires have 7-11 streams of income ☆
Don’t be a ‘One Trick Pony’…or you will be a ‘Sitting Duck’.
Shine on, you beautiful Miracle Magnet you!
