Dear Sovereign Self
Dear Sovereign Self is a podcast for reclaiming the self, an ongoing letter to the part of you that refuses to live on autopilot.

Living Kintsugi (金継ぎ)

Kintsugi is the practice of repairing broken pottery with gold, making the object more valuable because of how it was mended. In this episode, kintsugi becomes a metaphor for sovereignty. We explore the difference between damage and repair, between suffering and authorship. Healing is not about returning to who you were before. It is about choosing how you reassemble yourself after life applies pressure.
