Finding Your Ikigai in the Content Café
Welcome to the Content Café ☕✨
In today’s episode, we’re brewing up some bold, purpose-filled truth with my longtime brother-friend and “free paying client” 😂—Donald Middleton, author of Conversations With My Dad.
We’re diving deep into the Japanese concept of Ikigai—your reason for being—and how purpose, procrastination, and the illusion of “not enough time” might be holding your brilliance hostage.
Together, we talk about:
✔️ Why some of us stay stuck—even with the tools
✔️ How procrastination disguises purpose pressure
✔️ What Ikigai can unlock in your content and calling
✔️ What it’s like getting free coaching (and still struggling to implement)
✔️ Whether time is actually the problem—or just the excuse
And yes, I pour in love, but I also bring the espresso-level intimacy—because sometimes, your next level is one journaling prompt away.
