The Kintsugi Podcast - Stories of Connection

The Kintsugi Podcast is about reconnecting with ourselves and each other and seeing our scars as golden symbols of our strength and resilience. In this divided world, there's a way to come back together and see our stories within each of us. Each week, I will share a story of connection from another like-hearted human and a Pause Breathe Reflect meditation to help you connect with yourself and put a beautiful ripple into the world.

A Picture is Worth a Thousands Words

This week on The Kintsugi Podcast, I reflect on the power of pictures to tell our stories—not just the glossy highlights we love to share, but the muddy, imperfect moments that shape us too. Inspired by my camera roll and a beautiful Rumi poem, I explore how embracing every emotion, every snapshot of life, helps us live more fully. As we close one year and step into the next, let’s pause, breathe, reflect, and welcome all of our moments with open arms. Together, we can rewrite our stories, celebrating every scar as a golden symbol of resilience.
