“Every fragment tells a story.”

In this episode, Sam explores the shards of self — the small pieces, moments, and habits that shape who we are — and how the stories we tell ourselves (and hear from others) can illuminate those pieces. Growth isn’t about becoming a completely new person; it’s about noticing, rearranging, and integrating the fragments we already carry.

“How many pieces make up a person?”

In this episode, Sam explores the fragments — the visible, hidden, and sometimes unexpected parts of ourselves — that shape who we are and who we’re becoming. We talk about the mosaic of self, the habits, memories, and emotions that layer into identity, and why growth isn’t about erasing parts of yourself but embracing them.

Instead of trying to start over, what if transformation is about noticing the pieces you already carry and learning how to hold them with curiosity, patience, and care?

“Is January a beginning… or just a mirror?”

In the first episode of Season 2, Sam dives into why the idea of a fresh start feels so powerful — and why January isn’t the magical reset we wish it were. Through philosophy, psychology, personal stories, and film, we explore what it really means to change… slowly, imperfectly, and authentically.
