Can what is broken be repaired? 

This episode comes after a life episode of burnout, a moment when nothing made sense. It unfolds like fragments, pieced together, tracing the feeling of being broken—and finding meaning within it.

From fragmentation in landscapes, to the myth of Osiris in Ancient Egypt, to ancestral rites of dismemberment, to dreams, to repairing broken clay with golden dust—this podcast episode aims to show through storytelling how what is broken can be the beginning of something whole.

How can we see the light among the fractures? How do myths guide us through the stages of human life, toward adulthood? How did our ancestors understand being broken, and what can we learn from them today?
