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.
