What if healing is not about becoming who we were before — but learning how to carry what happened to us?
This Sunday, Infinitely Curious explores Kintsugi, the centuries-old Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics with gold — and the powerful philosophy it offers about imperfection, resilience, heartbreak and human connection.
Through four compelling voices, Katerina Batzaki asks what might happen if, instead of hiding our cracks, we learned to see them differently.
Dipika Trehan explores the “Kintsugi life” — resilience, reinvention and embracing the parts of ourselves we have learned to hide.
Maddie Kelly looks beyond the individual, asking how vulnerability, empathy and our shared fractures can become places of human connection.
Psychotherapist and author Dr Nicki Joy Monti speaks about heartbreak and psychological reconstruction — and why healing may mean creating something new rather than returning to who we were.
And The Art of Turning Pain Into Beauty takes us back to Kintsugi itself — its history, philosophy and radical idea that repair does not need to conceal what has been broken.
Because Kintsugi does not tell us that suffering is beautiful. It reminds us of something quieter:
The crack does not diminish its worth — the repair makes it unique.
