Ep 185 Kintsugi: Upholding Values to Improve & Enhance Your Life

In today’s deeply polarizing society, we’ve become too comfortable with whitewashing—rewriting culture, truth, and identity to fit a more convenient narrative. We’re constantly told by con artists, influencers, and marketers that certain things are "normal," when in reality, they’re anything but. In this episode of the Wabi Sabi podcast, I felt it was necessary to draw a firm line—to call out where we’ve compromised and where we’ve allowed culture to be diluted. I use Matcha as one clear example. If I don’t uphold the values of my own heritage—publicly and with conviction—I wouldn’t be doing my job as a journalist. This episode is about reclaiming your roots. It’s about learning from where you came from, understanding why that matters, and how honoring those truths can actually improve your life. These are free tools and reminders that anyone can use—anytime. And if you’re feeling stuck, that’s okay. You’re not behind. You already hold the keys to unlock your next chapter. Let’s get into it.
