✨ Ever feel like you're living someone else's life? ✨

Your Ikigai—your reason for being—exists at the intersection of:
💗 What you LOVE
⭐ What you're GOOD AT
🌍 What the WORLD NEEDS
💰 What you can be PAID FOR

The Japanese have known this secret to longevity and fulfilment for centuries. Now you can discover yours.

📖 I've just published a complete guide with:
→ 50+ deep reflection questions
→ Practical exercises & tasks
→ Month-by-month discovery framework
→ Strategies for common obstacles
→ How to validate & live your purpose

Perfect four-circle overlap is RARE (and that's okay!). Most of us find meaning in 2-3 circle intersections—and that's not settling, that's wisdom. 🙏

Your reason for being isn't one grand purpose. It's the constellation of activities that make YOUR life feel worth living.

This article helps you discover your Ikigai—your reason for being—through a structured exploration of four essential life dimensions: what you love (your passions), what you're good at (your strengths), what the world needs (your mission), and what you can be paid for (economic viability). Whils...

Major changes to the Better Access program take effect on 1 November 2025: your GP or MyMedicare‑registered clinic must prepare your Mental Health Treatment Plan for you to access subsidised psychology sessions. This aims to strengthen relationships between patients, GPs and specialists, but could limit choices in areas with few doctors. If you’re receiving therapy, book a review with your GP to discuss ongoing referrals and understand your rights. Do you feel your GP knows enough about your mental health needs?
