Episode 24. Patterns of Resilience with Owen Nakamura
In this episode, Owen Nakamura shares the remarkable story of his ancestors, Japanese-Canadian farmers who survived the hardships of World War II. With incredible determination, integrity, and an unyielding will to persevere, they endured life in internment camps, faced unimaginable choices, and worked tirelessly to rebuild their lives from the ground up.
Owen reflects on the generational patterns passed down through his family, both the struggles and strengths, that continue to shape his life today. He also shares how his own connection to gardening has become not just a tribute to his family’s legacy, but his life’s purpose and a powerful act of healing.
This episode is a moving exploration of resilience, generational trauma, and the beauty of finding purpose through the roots of one’s history. Owen’s story reminds us of the power of perseverance, connection, and the quiet yet transformative act of tending to both land and soul.
