The Whole Again Podcast: Mindfulness and Resilience through Kinstugi Wisdom airs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday with Pause Breathe Reflect Microdose Meditations, Growth Mindset and Mindfulness Tips, to help us transform our scars into healing and resilience. And between May and October, I'm sharing a new series I'm calling: A Perfectly Imperfect Union. It's about connecting with every day folks as they reflect on America at 250. Conversations will air every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.-------What if the greatest threat to America isn't division — it's disconnection?That's the tension Kyle Malachowski sits with as a data analytics professional, endurance athlete, and girl dad living just south of Atlanta, Georgia. In this episode of A Perfectly Imperfect Union, Kyle brings a rare combination of analytical precision and hard-won perspective, including time in Afghanistan that showed him firsthand what a world without opportunity actually looks like.Kyle sees America as a yin-yang. The opportunity is real. So is the pressure. And while his work in data analytics puts him squarely in the crosshairs of AI disruption, he's not afraid. He sees AI the same way he sees a fire: it fuels whatever you're already burning. What worries him more is the slow drift away from community. From showing up in person. From looking your neighbors in the eye at the grocery store instead of building up personas behind a screen. And Kyle's question for you and our next guest, Sarah, is: If America had a spirit animal and it couldn't be the eagle, what would it be?
