Description

What if discovering your purpose could transform your energy, health, and the way you live, at any stage of life?

In Episode 42 of Let’s Talk Wellness with Shal, I’m joined by David Marlow, widely known as The Ikigai Guy. After 30 years as a senior executive, David made a bold pivot toward purpose-driven living, and at age 64, he wrote his first book, The Ikigai Way, proving that reinvention has no expiration date.

In this episode, we explore how Ikigai, mindset, identity, and daily habits intersect to create a life of clarity, fulfillment, and wellbeing.

💥This conversation will reframe how you think about success, aging, and purpose.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • What Ikigai really means beyond the popular Venn diagram
  • How to uncover your purpose with clarity and intention
  • Why it’s never too late to reinvent yourself
  • Common purpose blockers like burnout, overwhelm, and fear
  • How purpose impacts health, energy, leadership, and wellbeing
  • Aligning who you are with what you do - personally and professionally

Whether you’re navigating a career transition, midlife reinvention, burnout, or simply asking “What’s next for me?” — this episode is for you.
