EP 182 Kintsugi: Unlock Your Ikigai/Purpose In Broken Times

Let’s be real—life falls apart sometimes. But here’s the good news: in Japan, we don’t toss the broken stuff—we gold it. This week on Wabi Sabi, I’m diving into the art of kintsugi and how those so-called “cracks” in your life can actually lead you to your ikigai—your purpose, your why, your get-out-of-bed-and-make-matcha energy. We’ll talk breakups, burnout, identity shifts, and how feeling “off” can actually be the beginning of something beautiful. It’s not about having it all together—it’s about loving your flaws, laughing at the mess, and finding your path anyway. This is your permission slip to be a little broken, a little fabulous, and a lot more you.
