This week, I talk about myself, my background, life as a golfer, and my struggle I had when I became a professional golfer. I turned professional in 2018 and I am based in Europe playing on their tour. It’s been fun traveling to new places with friends, competing at the high level and challenging myself to reach my goals. However, it’s true that there has been ups & downs, and in this episode I share what I struggled with the most, which was the instability of the lifestyle. I’m not sure if this will resonate with anyone, but I hope this episode will give peace to someone who has felt something similar.

After working years for the UN, she took the courageous decision to leave the organization and see what else life has to offer, and that is exactly when she met her new passion – sake and face yoga! (Yes, you heard it right! It is a yoga for your face!) Sarika entered the world of entrepreneurship as a sake lecturer and a face yogi folling high demands from her peers wanting to learn more about them. Well the Japanese traditional beverage and face yoga do not seem to have much in common, they are deeply rooted with Sarika’s mission, which is to bring joy and positive changes to the society. _________ More about Sarika on her website: https://www.sarikasake.com/art
