On this week, we recap our convo with couple Kenon + Trisha from Ep. 4 on purpose individually and as a couple. The convo got deepπ
so if you haven't checked it out...what are you waiting for?!
Lo introduced us to the Japanese term Ikigai which, loosely translated, means "a reason to live" or our life's purpose. Here are 4 easy steps on how to find your life purpose:
1. Find Your Ikigai - by navigating the circles in the photo, try to find your common ground and make the connections.
2. Disown Your Fears - identify the evidence that proves your fears wrong!
3. Claim Your Values - our values represent who we are at our core. Make a list of everything you value and then use this list as inspiration.
4. Take Powerful Action - You can't begin to live out your purpose without taking action. Get to it!
The truth is you already know what your life purpose is. The answer is waiting inside you. You just have to know how to pull it out! For more visit jessicadw.com AND head over to wherever you find your fav podcasts and give Ep. 4 a listen!
If you missed Ep. 4 with Kenon + Trisha, lets just say that you need to stop what you're doing and go back to give it a listen! On this episode we talked a lot about and Kenon came through with all of the relationship gems on this one. β

On finding purpose as an individual and a couple, Kenon shared that Trisha has been instrumental in helping him to understand what that is. In his own words he says, "She has encouraged me to use my creativity to pursue what my purpose is in life!" β
