Ep019 - Scratches in the New Family Table
In today’s episode, we reflect on the beauty of imperfections and the marks life leaves behind. Inspired by a scratch on a new family table, I explore how scars, scratches, and "life marks" tell stories of life happening in its fullness—even in the moments of struggle. Together, let’s redefine what it means to live a meaningful, "Kintsugi-inspired" life.
Key Topics & Takeaways:
- The story behind a live-edge dining table and the scratch that started it all.
- Why family meals and time around the table are foundational for connection.
- "Life marks" — a reframe on scars, scratches, and imperfections in life.
- The art of Kintsugi and the beauty in repairing the broken with gold.
- A challenge: Shift your perspective on your scars and embrace the story they tell.
Positive Play Call Challenge: Write “Life happens here” or “Life happened here” and place it where a memory resides. Use it as a reminder of resilience and the beauty of living fully.
