Many of us have devoted our lives to careers that, while promising financial success and societal recognition, did not truly resonate with our passions. Despite these outward achievements, we often find ourselves feeling an inner void. Others may have once had a clear sense of purpose but lost it along the way due to pain, grief, or the inevitable challenges of life.
ADRIANA SELLERI ROCHA // IKIGAI COACH
REGION: MALTA
While we cannot avoid difficulties beyond our control, I firmly believe that Ikigai can serve as a powerful tool to build resilience, helping us navigate life's adversities with grace and an open heart. It allows us to find joy and fulfillment, even when life doesn't go as planned.
Whether you're an entrepreneur transitioning to a career aligned with your passion, an employee feeling trapped in a job you dislike, or a retiree searching for renewed meaning, I believe that everyone can experience Ikigai in their own unique way. Joy is possible, even in the face of hardship.
My own journey has been far from easy. Growing up on the outskirts of a Brazilian metropolis, I faced numerous challenges-poverty, heartbreak, grief, violence, bullying, trauma, and a lack of self-worth. Yet, these very hardships have shaped me, allowing me to see life from different perspectives, endure struggles, and find beauty and joy in the smallest things.
As an Ikigai coach, I am committed to helping others reconnect with their own sources of Ikigai and create a solid plan for building a more resilient and fulfilling life
