Belly Button Musings

Little Life vs Big Life

03 Nov 2025

Description

In this episode, Harinder is joined once again by her friend Alicia Karabinos to explore the concept of "a little life versus a big life." They discuss the importance of living consciously and the impact of societal expectations on our personal journeys. They emphasise the significance of focusing on small, meaningful actions and the ripple effects these can have on others. KEY TAKEAWAYS Life challenges, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, can serve as catalysts for reflection and personal growth, prompting individuals to reassess their values and priorities. Small acts of kindness and connection can have a profound impact on others, highlighting that even seemingly insignificant moments can create ripples of joy and meaning in people's lives. The concept of Kintsugi, where broken pottery is repaired with gold, serves as a metaphor for embracing our brokenness and imperfections, allowing us to create something beautiful and stronger from our experiences. Finding joy in personal pursuits and nurturing oneself is essential. By focusing on what brings happiness, individuals can inspire others and create a positive ripple effect in their communities. BEST MOMENTS "Are we doing it consciously? Are we consciously choosing life to happen to us or life to happen for us?" "COVID gave us the opportunity to kind of stop, to focus on what is it that I'm really looking to accomplish in my life." "Just know that you being a mom, that's monumental. That is a drop that has ripple effects, not only throughout your life, their life, but throughout the world." "Sometimes it's necessary because it's just a regrouping. It's the way we define that process that we're going through." "Fill your own cup first. You're worth it. You deserve it. The world needs it."

Having worked closely with people from all over the world professionally in a corporate setting and since, carving out my own path in the past few years. I am an illustrator, artist and designer. I use intuitive creativity and my leadership skills for transformational coaching. I also create tools for personal and team development. Not new to podcasting, I have previously co-created a mini podcast series called How to Land Your Ideal Job. With this podcast series, I wanted to share my life learnings particularly during the fallow period of life when my life’s direction has not been clear and I’ve had to dig deep below the various identities I had collected and assumed to reconnect with who I really am. Digging through the proverbial lead to share golden nuggets of insight. I hope to take people on mellow belly button contemplations that lead to questions for self inquiry and open up new imagined possibilities to new realities.
