Hey, I'm Emma! I'm half-American, half-Japanese, and I live in Amsterdam with my husband Seb, who's half-Dutch, half-German. Feeling disconnected from my true passions, I decided to quit my job in April 2024 in search of my ikigai — a Japanese concept describing one's purpose/reason to be.
Ikigai revolves around four principles: what you love, what you excel at, what the world needs, and what sustains you financially. This channel documents my exploration of various passions, including singing, space, cats, and writing, as I strive to discover my own ikigai.
