Episode Ninety Eight - Human Kintsugi - Drew is shunned by Jehovah's Witnesses

Trigger Warning: This episode contains frank discussions of sexual abuse and suicide.
Kintsugi is the Japanese art of taking items like broken pottery and repairing the cracks with gold. It is an acknowledgement of the scars that a piece has as part of its history. Drew has some scars, but he’s not afraid to be vulnerable and talk about his life. From involvement with the cult of Jehovah’s Witnesses to many situations in life that could have broken him irreparably, Drew has picked up the pieces and made something out of them over and over again with his heart of gold.
