“We are all broken, that is how the light gets in.” – Ernest Hemingway. This powerful quote reminds us that our imperfections and challenges can open the door to growth and transformation. On “Behind the Quote,” hosts Jessica Reyes, Patricia Wu, and guest holistic psychologist Charlotte Lewis discuss this concept.
Brokenness is Universal
Everyone experiences challenges in life. Charlotte reminds us that facing adversity is a normal part of the human experience.
Compassion is Key
Learning to be kind to ourselves after going through a tough time is the first step towards healing. By examining our experiences with compassion, we can find valuable lessons to learn and grow from.
Transformation is Possible
Charlotte emphasizes the Japanese art of Kintsugi, where broken pottery is beautifully repaired with gold. This analogy highlights how we can become more beautiful by embracing our past challenges and finding strength in our resilience.
