TW // Eating Habits are discussed on this episode Today’s guest is the co-author of one of my favorite books, Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life. This book is my jam because it's all about purpose. Francesc Miralles and Héctor García wrote the international bestseller Ikigai and Francesc joins me from Spain to explain what Ikigai actually means. It's a Japanese word with many translations. It literally means a life worth being lived, but he shares that it is your purpose in life, it’s your reason to live, but also more simply, it is the motivation we have to get up in the morning and start doing things. We take a deep dive into talking about one’s purpose and passion and how eating habits, movement and community play a major factor in being able to live a truly balanced life.
