9: Janey and Patrick Regan

Janey interviews Patrick Regan OBE on embracing your flaws and recognising its 'ok not to be ok' Patrick was the CEO of the charity XLP and is now founder of Kintsugi Hope,  “Kintsugi” is a Japanese technique for repairing pottery with seams of gold.  The word means “golden joinery” in Japanese. This repairs the brokenness in a way that makes the object more beautiful, and even more unique than it was prior to being broken.  Instead of hiding the scars it makes a feature of them. Kintsugi Hope was founded by Diane and Patrick Regan OBE after a series of operations and events that took them to the brink physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Kintsugi Hope exists to create safe and supportive spaces for those experiencing mental and emotional health challenges. wwww.alcoholfreelife.co.uk
