Maddie, Journey On | What on earth is a "best" life? | #8

Maddie is a yoga teacher, life coach, and, as of this week, podcast host based in Sheffield.In this episode, Maddie talks us through the Japanese concept of "ikigai" in the context of finding one's reason to get up in the morning, what it means to be "aligned", the Western need to be productive, her origin story as a mind-body teacher, and so much more.This was the first time that Maddie and I had met in person, and so I had no idea how the conversation would go.Within minutes, I was mentally taking notes, and as of this week have already put my understanding of alignment into a newsletter. I hope you get as much from this chat as I did in the moment and again editing it!LinksMaddie's podcast, Definehttps://open.spotify.com/show/3mwG5N3KiHvQjQaKukkhPF?si=5345238e8be14f16Maddie's social media https://www.instagram.com/journeyoncoach/This week's newsletterhttps://fitnessandthinking.substack.com/p/freshly-sauced
