It's hard to believe we've come to the end of Season 3. Peter & Marc reflect back on aha moments from this season and what they've learned about transitions. They also share how their understanding of ikigai continues to evolve, and chat a bit about what's next for them - a wedding for Peter and re-entering the workforce for Marc.

Thanks for listening and supporting us throughout this season. We're taking a break and hope to be back again soon. Please send us a message on Instagram (@theikigaiproject) or our LinkedIn page with your feedback, or what you'd like to hear on the podcast in the future. Until next time, take good care everyone.

He’s also an outdoor enthusiast and encourages spending time outside in the sun. We cover a lot of ground in this episode, exploring transitions in well-being, movement, & performance. Topics include: parenting, body awareness, rest & nutrition, goal setting, fitness trackers, reducing jet lag, and much more! Whether you are highly active or struggling to find balance in a busy schedule, there's a takeaway here for everyone.

Today we welcome our guest David Wilson. We are curious to explore a transition that's universal to all of us - the transition of aging. What does it mean to grow old? What beliefs exist about aging that we might want to challenge? David is a movement coach, speaker, and anti-ageism advocate. We discuss aging as a developmental process, ageism and societal stereotypes, our capacity to move at any age or level of experience, and finding joy and curiosity through it all.

Follow David on Instagram at @oldscoolmoves and learn about his movement offerings on his website
