In this episode of the Kintsugi Podcast, I invite you to pause, breathe, and explore how we can dance differently with life’s vortexes. Whether it’s the swirling energy of political chaos like Trump 2.0 or the relentless chatter of our own inner critic. Together, we’ll discuss how to protect your peace, reframe negativity, and use leverage and perspective to transform challenges into opportunities for growth. From navigating external noise to rewriting the story we tell ourselves, this episode is about finding clarity, strength, and resilience in the face of it all. Take a breath and let’s begin building a better tomorrow, one mindful moment at a time.
