Life Designer with Jingyu Chen
Capturing once in a lifetime moment and each encounter is one of a kind and unique. Life designer is looking to genuine and meaningful human connection, and telling candid human stories. In each episode, I will interview an amazing talent coming from all around the world across all different industries. They are artists, creatives, professionals, entrepreneurs, slash everything, and they are all on their journey to pursue their mission with a passion. It's their story-telling about how they become their own life designers! Please feel free to visit my website to find more information: https://www.lifedesignerwithjingyuchen.com/
I am also running my solo podcast ‘Jing Lens’ -- my lifestyle diary . Here I share daily hustle and grind, small joys from my travel and hobbies, exercise routine, self-care practice, and reflection on my personal growth, etc., I consider Jing Lens as my dynamic diary to document and capture evolving and ( hopefully elevating) journey of my lifestyle. Lifestyle is a bit overkill buzzword today but I have always been drawn to this word, spending years and years searching and building my lifestyle. I guess I finally reach this self-validation point to feel may be able to to share some mindset and practice from an ordinary person’s life to provide one possible form of wholesome and joyful living.
Both podcasts are located in my website. My website is like my container where I put my heart and soul to curate . Please feel free to visit my website to check in both podcasts if you are interested. Thank you so much for listening to my podcasts!

Conversation with Japanese Florist : Setsuko Yanagisawa
Setsuko is a Japanese florist based in Sydney, specialising in IKEBANA (traditional Japanese flower arrangement) and European style as well.
In today's episode, Setsuko shared her life story about passion, struggling and encounter.
Key takeaways from today's show: I want to quote what Kristen Kish, the winner from top chef, said about passion : passion is not just being exciting about something, but being completely dedicated, always curious, truly connected to that. Setsuko is a living example to approve that it's never been too late to do something as she decided to pursue her passion which are flower and food as her profession in her middle 40's. when facing challenges
Setsuko believes in 継続力 ( persistence and continuity). If you keep doing, good things come and bad things may come as well. You have to accept that and maintain positive mentality.
Setsuko also shared her 生き方 ( the way to live your life) with the Japanese philosophy: 一期一会(いちごいちえ). It tells us that we should always appreciate every encounter in our life as it may not come again. Having said that, being genuine and generous to give as much as you can in each encounter, you will also receive inspiration and positive energy in return. Human are all looking to emotional connection. いちごいちえalso indicates that there is some encounter "mean to be happen", people may reconnect again in the future.
Thanks for listening to my podcast today. See you next time!
