Gold, Gems & Joinery of Self





Dear Kintsugi SiSTARS,


In the quiet moments of reflection, it’s not uncommon to feel a sense of numbness, to feel lost or emotionally drained. Life, with its relentless pace, often leaves us feeling stagnant, yearning for a change in the vibe of our journey. But remember, we are Kintsugi women, and just like the art that inspires our name, we are masters of transformation.


The Cycle of Change

Change is not just an event; it’s a cycle, a continuous flow that mirrors the seasons of nature. It begins with a sense of restlessness, a whisper that something needs to shift. This is where we gather our courage, where we make the choice to embrace the unknown and step into a new phase of growth.


As we move through the cycle, our chrysalis journey we may encounter resistance, both from within and life. It’s in these moments of struggle that our true spirit shines brightest. We are Kintsugi women, after all, and our cracks are where our light breaks through.


Making Our Hearts Smile


What does it mean to make our hearts smile? It’s about finding joy in the little things, the everyday miracles that we often overlook. It’s about passion, passion for life, for love, for the unique path each of us walks. When we engage with the world around us with an open heart, we invite in the kind of joy that radiates from within, the kind that can’t help but make our hearts smile.


Embracing Our Kintsugi Genius

Within each of us lies a genius, a unique blend of talents, experiences, and insights that make us who we are. Our Kintsugi genius is our inner wisdom, the ethereal knowledge that guides us even when the way forward is unclear. It’s our resilience, our ability to piece together the broken parts of ourselves into something even more beautiful than before.


The Gems of Our Experience

Our experiences, both good and bad, are the gems that adorn our Kintsugi spirit. They are the lessons learned, the strength gained, and the compassion deepened through our trials and triumphs. As we embrace these gems, we recognize the value in every moment, every challenge, and every victory.


My dear siSTARS, continue to walk this Kintsugi path with grace and courage. Change the vibe of our journey by embracing the cycle of change, making your hearts smile, and celebrating the feminine, ethereal wisdom that is our birthright. Together, we are unstoppable.


The Chrysalis: A Sanctuary for Growth


In the chrysalis stage, we are seemingly dormant, yet it is here that the most profound growth occurs. It’s a time for stillness, for allowing ourselves the grace to be incomplete, to be in-process. Within this sanctuary, we are not idle; we are actively finding the gold in our journey, the precious lessons that come from self-reflection and patience.


Finding Gold in our Brokenness


Our Kintsugi journey teaches us that there is beauty in the broken, that our fractures are not to be hidden but highlighted with gold. As we navigate through our chrysalis phase, we discover the gold in our own stories, the resilience, the courage, the unyielding spirit that refuses to be defined by our cracks.


The Joinery of Self


The joinery of self is an art form. It is the delicate process of piecing together the fragments of our identity, our dreams, and our aspirations. It is about recognizing that each piece, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, is a part of a grander design. As we join these pieces, we do so with the golden adhesive of our experiences, creating a mosaic that is uniquely ours.


Emerging with Passion and Spirit


When the time comes to break free from the chrysalis, we do so with a passion that burns brighter than before. Our spirit, once weary, now soars with the wisdom of the journey. We emerge not despite our challenges, but because of them. We are Kintsugi women, and our very essence is a celebration of our transformative power of embracing our imperfections.


Ethereal Wisdom: The Guiding Light


Our ethereal wisdom is the guiding light through the chrysalis journey. It is the inner voice that whispers encouragement when the path is dark. It is the knowing that comes from a deep connection with the self, with the divine feminine energy that flows through us all.

Let’s honour our chrysalis journey, of our Kintsugi story. Find the gold in our joinery, and let our hearts be filled with the joy of becoming. Together, we are not just mending, we are redefining what it means to be whole.


May this blog inspire and uplift you Kintsugi siSTARS as you all navigate the beautiful, intricate journey of self-discovery and healing. 


Your Kintsugi journey is uniquely yours, and sharing it can inspire others to find beauty in their own brokenness.


Look into the transformative chrysalis journey. This is a sacred passage, one that beckons us to cocoon ourselves from the chaos of the world, to introspect, and to emerge with newfound wisdom and beauty.
