Reflecting to Thrive with Chie Sawa
Episode 130
Monday, 13 April, 2026
On this episode of The Ikigai Podcast, I talk with Chie Sawa, founder of Thrive Life Design, about why all leaders need a sanctuary to pause and reconnect with themselves. We also explore reverse culture shock, the power of co-reflection, and how structured tools like Tarot readings for reflection can create clarity without crossing into therapy. We explore:• Chie’s journey from Japan to the US and back • Reverse culture shock and feeling out of place at home • Why sociology and women’s rights shaped her path • Building Thrive Life Design beyond psychotherapy • What “thrive” means as steady life expansion • Sanctuary as a space to pause, breathe, and renew • Reflection vs naisei and why being heard matters • Reflection as a tool with clear limits • Rumination, resentment, and when therapy is the better path • The Reflection Room as a flexible one-on-one space • Soul Story Tarot as a reflective structure not fortune telling • Utori as the felt sense of inner room Book a session with Chia.
