Nurse → Director of Every Plus Co., Ltd. → Founder of ICORE, an online career school for women.

With the theme of "What is happiness?", he has visited 200 cities in 70 countries so far. During my first solo trip around the world, I fell in love with travel and dreamed of one day traveling around the world on my honeymoon. At the age of 30 , my dream came true and I traveled around the world for the second time on my honeymoon. After returning to Japan, he has been disseminating information on ``well-being / happiness studies / positive psychology'' mainly through lectures and SNS .

<About the past>

I used to work as a nurse, and when I interacted with grandparents who had only six months to live, I had many experiences that made me feel close to death. I have had many opportunities to hear people say things like, ``I should have looked at my life more,'' ``I should have taken better care of my family,'' and things like, ``I should have lived my happiness without regrets.'' At that time, I wondered what happiness really meant to me.

I wanted to think about my own happiness, so I traveled alone to 40 countries around the world as a backpacker for about a year. During that time, I realized that it's really important to be able to live your life in a way that makes you feel good about yourself. I started posting this as a blogger because I wanted to reach as many people as possible and raise the level of happiness in Japan, starting with Japanese women.

Right now, I feel like I'm taking on a new challenge with friends who share similar feelings. After traveling around the world twice, I was able to think, ``Ah, I can survive!'', so even now, I feel like my hurdles for taking on challenges and failing are lower.

<Do you have a motto or words that are important to you? ＞

I've always written the words "Do what only you can and share happiness with as many people as possible" on the first page of my notebook for the past 10 years, and I feel like I've never wavered from that. . I believe that there are things that only I can do, and I just want my life to be what I think is good, regardless of whether it looks amazing to others or not.

<About MELE MELE jewelry>

After all, just having diamonds in it gives it a very elegant and gorgeous look. I felt like it really brought out my femininity, so I think that's what makes it so appealing. Just like wearing heels makes you feel refreshed, I felt like just wearing diamonds made me feel more feminine and confident.

<Future goals>

MELE I think the concept of MELE was for the woman who wears it to shine in her own way, and I hope that Ikoa will also become a starting point for women to shine in their own way. That's what I think.

ICORE is a place where you can create a base that shines as you are, and I would be happy if ICORE could spread the value that women who live their lives according to their ideal self are cool by continuing to refine from there. is.
