Embracing Imperfection with Patrick Regan OBE
There's something so attractive about kindness, respect, dignity. And so we did this course because we recognize, like a and like all the other great movements out there, whether it's rock choir or park run or weight watches, actually there is so much power in coming together, supporting one another with no gender, and saying, yeah, me too I struggle with that and I'm here to support you.
Ever felt like it's not okay to be anything less than perfect? Patrick Regan OBE, founder of Kintsugi Hope, joins Janey Lee Grace in this heartwarming episode to challenge that very notion. Drawing from his own experiences, Patrick opens up about the profound Japanese art of Kintsugi, where broken pottery is mended with gold, making it more beautiful and unique. This metaphor becomes a powerful lens through which they discuss embracing flaws and the importance of self-care.
Patrick shares the emotional and physical challenges he faced that led to the creation of Kintsugi Hope, a charity dedicated to providing safe spaces for those grappling with mental and emotional health issues. The conversation also touches on the impact of social media on our well-being and the pressing need for emotional education in schools. Patrick's insights on the importance of kindness, respect, and dignity in our interactions are both refreshing and inspiring.
If you're looking for a dose of encouragement and a reminder that it's okay to be imperfect, this episode is a must-listen. Join Janey and Patrick as they explore how our scars can become our strengths, turning our vulnerabilities into something truly beautiful.
