Kintsugi - The Art of Personal Reconstruction

Kintsugi - The Art of Personal Reconstruction

Tijani Ogunlende

Kintsugi, also known as kintsukuroi is the Japanese art of reconstructing broken pottery and ceramics. In its essential form, it is the art of making better that which has been broken. This concept though usually applied to ceramics, can be applied to our personal lives also. This podcast is about the journey we all take (in one way or another); falling flat, breaking apart, and rebuilding ourselves many times over, each time building with the lessons we've learned. I like to think of these lessons as the 'golden glue' that rebinds the broken pieces and contributes to the beauty of the reconstructed object. Through my journey, I’ve come across stories of others who have traveled the path before I did. Their stories often renewed my own sense of motivation and provided a sense or feeling of not being alone. This podcast is a mix of personal accounts of my experiences and an intent to pay forward what I have learned from others so that you might also benefit from it in the same way I have. On this journey, you drop in during the late stages of transition from the person I used to be to the person I am emerging into. Taking you with me during this process is the goal and my hope is that by talking about these experiences they leave you with something you can apply in yours making it more engaging and fulfilling. This is in summary a personal account of my experience leading up to and just after what feels like a significant transformation in the process of completing itself, with the goal of helping, inspiring, and/or leading you to undertake your own journey to a more fulfilled existence.

We're approaching the end of the first season (One more episode to go). This episode - also a shorter one is just catching you up to where things are currently, not in the recorded past as they've been coming to you. The next episode will constitute a recap of the podcast itself and the content followed up by some more detail about what direction we'll go in season 2.

Though I introduce this as Episode 9, it is actually Episode 10 and it exists within the context of the last two, documenting the experience of a relapse bubble.

This is a really short episode relative to the others, and putting it up has been difficult process... Until now. There is also something poetic about this process seeing as it was recorded months ago. As each episode comes out, so too do the events play out in my own experience right after uploading them. So while I've been uploading episodes about relapses and the bubble, I've experienced just that in the last couple of weeks.

Also in this episode, I teleport in ‘from the future that is now’ to talk and provide a little more structure and guidance so you can better understand whats going on and why it’s happening. That way no matter how rocky the boat gets, you - like me, will remain steadfast and oriented towards a better outcome. It may not look like what you imagine, but that's how you make it out. Actions speak louder than words - yes, but thoughts (especially when they persist) speak louder than Actions and Words ;)

Wow, we've come a long way in this introduction to the 'Art of Personal Reconstruction'. Thank you all so much for embarking on this journey with me. It's been a long rad road with some bumps along the way. Each episode less scary to put out than the last, it took a lot to first face myself and then face you with as much of my truth as I had access to with what level of consciousness and self awareness I had at the time. Through that, you stuck with me, and for that you have my gratitude.

What I can do at this point in the process is to turn to you and project what I learned, in hopes that it impacts you or someone you know in a positive way. This is a goodbye, yes, but only for now.

I'll be ready with Season Two come June 15th 2021. Be well, heal, and journey well. Take this as a map and use the parts of it that are relevant to what you may be going though and know that no matter how dark it gets there is always a light on the other side of that shadow, don't be afraid of it and dot be afraid of yourself, your deep inner self.

Before you listen...

In light of the sensitive/raw nature of the series overall, and particularly this episode. I'm urging care in listening or moving forward. For anyone who decides to skip, part 3 serves a recap and reorientation and leaves things on a positive note. Much of this will also be referenced in the next episode.

The Episode is divided into three parts, separated by a brief pause.

  • Part 1: From the Future (Current) Commentary
  • Part 2: From the Relapse Bubble
  • Part 3: Reconstruction Reorientation, Resourcing

When experiencing this seemingly unusual euphoric state (perhaps a symptom of the brain returning more balance chemically - my best guess). It can seem everything is working out just fine. In my experience of this, it has become a sign, a warning even, to be careful. This euphoric state often leads to early complacency that can land you right back in the place you're feeling so good about having just left and in the case of the next two episodes - relapse.
