No life is going to be perfect—but the kicker? We wouldn’t want a perfect life even if we could get it!
In today's episode, we dive deep into life's 50-50 mix of good and bad times, illustrating it with two poignant real-life tales: a European trip gone awry and a client's emotional journey with a loved one's health.
We’ll talk about the work of positive psychology pioneer Martin Seligman, psychotherapist Deb Dana, and the moving memoir "Everything All at Once" by Steph Catudal, which masterfully showcases resilience in the face of profound loss.
Much like the Japanese art of kintsugi, we can create a complete life, full of beauty and resilience from our broken pieces.
