Wabi Sabi - The Perfectly Imperfect Podcast with Candice Kumai

• EP 177- Kintsugi The Art of ancient Japanese Healing in Modern Day Times

  Hi friends! Today I want to share a little about Kintsugi—the ancient Japanese art of golden repair—and how it can transform our pain into something meaningful. In my docu-series, Kintsugi, we dive into this philosophy as I travel through Japan, tracing the footsteps of my grandfather and discovering how brokenness, much like the cracks in pottery, can be healed and made even more beautiful. It’s about embracing your past, finding strength in what you’ve been through, and letting the light of love and hope guide you forward. In a world that feels heavy, Kintsugi reminds us that we can turn our struggles into superpowers. If you’re ready for a deep dive into this philosophy, check out the Kintsugi docu-series on YouTube, and don't forget to subscribe to our podcast for more reflections on finding peace, healing, and beauty in our lives. Please join me every Friday in February for a new episode—link in the description!
