While my ex’s alcoholism sounds less extreme than the podcaster’s, my kids and I lived through so many crazy, unhappy years. I’m on the other side of that, but having discovered this podcast, I have been sitting and knitting and listening to the host’s warm and compassionate voice and reflections on her crafts, her family, her responsibilities, and her recovery. There are a lot of episodes to go, and she now feels like a friend and I’m invested in her happiness and progress. Wishing her joy and peace!

After listening to a few episodes, I am really finding that I love the content. Knitting brings me joy, but I often wonder if it is an unhealthy escape from my daily struggles. I like the perspective and kindness that is offered in this podcast. It is a comfort.
