On this episode of the Kintsugi Podcast, I take you on a deeply personal journey, sharing stories from my bike ride across America, where connection was the heartbeat of every mile.

From the warmth of a small-town café in Indiana to the unsettling moments of division in Ohio, these experiences revealed the soul of our country, both its beauty and its pain. I reflect on the power of forgiveness, the necessity of healing, and the simple yet profound ways we can come together. Join me as we explore what it means to truly see one another, to heal, and to celebrate our shared humanity.
