Have you been told that finding your purpose means solving some big, world-changing problem, and quietly decided it must not be for you?

That belief is one of the biggest reasons women in midlife stop short of finding their Ikigai. The fourth circle, what the world needs, is not about the whole world. It is about your corner of it, where your gifts meet a real need in the lives around you. And the experiences you think disqualify you, including the hardest parts of your own career and life transitions, are often the very thing someone walking a few steps behind you is longing for.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why "what the world needs" is misunderstood, and the smaller, truer way to think about it during a midlife transition
• How your hardest chapters can become the clearest signal of where you're needed
• A simple practice to notice where the world is already pulling at you, and where your gifts are quietly needed

Press play to find the quiet pull that has been illuminating itself in your life for years, and step closer to your ikigai.
