Why BrokenSamurai?

I know what it's like to hit the wall. Not just feel tired — but truly break. Burnout, depression, hospitalisation. The kind of crash that forces you to rebuild everything from the ground up.

The path back was ayurveda, mindfulness, martial arts, and sobriety. Piece by piece, I found my footing again.

In Japanese culture, kintsugi is the art of repairing broken things with gold. The cracks become the most beautiful part.

That's the philosophy here. You are not broken beyond repair. You are being repaired.

About me

I've faced burnout more than once — in tech, in life, even in my body. Through martial arts, archery, and reflection, I rebuilt my balance. Now I help others do the same. This is not fluff. This is strategy, support, and honest care for people under pressure.
