This week, Nina hears about the cuts we make and how we learn to recover from them. From not making the cut in a team to the actions of a rogue hairdresser.
We hear one man's story of how he coped working inside an Irish "meat factory" and the unusual soundtrack that enveloped him, and a modern retelling of the old Persian fable which looks at how the moon got her scars.
