Whole Again: A Fresh Approach to Healing, Growth & Resilience After Physical Trauma Through Kintsugi Mindfulness

#177 | Resilience: How to Prevent a Bad Moment from Becoming a Bad Day (Mindset Shifts for Post-Traumatic Growth)


Listen Later

On this episode of The Kintsugi Podcast, I share how to navigate life’s muddy moments without letting them turn into bad days. Inspired by Mel Robbins’ “Let Them” mantra and Rumi’s The Guest House , we explore the power of acceptance and mindfulness. I talk about why I stopped labeling days as “good” or “bad” and how embracing all of life’s visitors—joy, sorrow, anger—can help us stay in our zone of genius. If you’re feeling like quitting today, know this: you’re not alone, and you can keep pedaling. Let’s celebrate our scars as symbols of resilience.
