How to find your passion not just follow the next shiny thing

I know how chaotic life can feel right now – vacation prep, shifts in routine, a thousand tabs open. So I say this gently: if you’re asking, “What do I want to build my next phase around?”, you’re not alone and you’re already doing the most important thing: looking.

I share more thoughts on how to find your passion my blog, but here’s a distilled version you’d want on your coffee table:

• Dive deep (not wide). Don’t chase every inspiration. Pick one or two that consistently burn bright, those morning thoughts, nostalgic urges, guilt-free hobbies. They’ll give you the strongest signal.
• Reflect over younger you. What were you drawn to as a kid? 
• Look at your energy, not just your ego. If something drains you, no matter how revered, it’s probably not your next chapter. But if something fuels you even in tiny ways, it’s worth leaning into.
• Share it, even before it feels finished. Write a blog. Give a talk. Post on LinkedIn. Your words spark connection, trust, and clarity – for both you and the woman watching from the sidelines.

You can read more practical questions, gentle prompts, and why this isn’t just another “find your ikigai” article here.

This isn’t about chasing dreams. It’s about mapping the direction on your own terms.

See you next week,
