In this episode, I welcome you to a new season of the podcast by exploring Imbolc—the Celtic celebration marking the first stirrings of spring—and the Snow Full Moon occurring together on February 1st, 2026. I share how I'm emerging into 2026 differently, having chosen "Honor" as my word for the year.

I talk about resisting the pressure to sprint into New Year's resolutions and instead spending the first weeks of January simply creating—making garments, tending my home, and trusting the process. I share the magical download that came from this patient approach and how it revealed the direction for my business and life.

This episode is an invitation to notice what's stirring beneath the surface in your own life, to tend the small flames, and to trust that gentle emergence is enough. At the end, I introduce my new Embodied Joy membership—a monthly gathering space for those ready to actually live a joy-filled life, not just talk about it.

In this episode of the In Kinship Podcast, I share my journey of embracing the unexpected as winter stubbornly refuses to release its grip on northern Michigan. With warmth and humor, I take you along on an impromptu adventure with my nine-year-old son when we found ourselves "lost" on country roads—transforming what could have been a stressful situation into a memorable bonding experience. I explore how shifting our mindset from fighting circumstances to embracing them creates space for joy, whether we're dealing with surprise snowstorms or life's bigger challenges. From learning to ice skate (badly!) with my hockey-playing nephew to knitting a cape with unexpected golden flecks, this episode reminds us that manifesting isn't just about envisioning a perfect future—it's about finding ways to feel exactly how we want right now, no matter what season we're in. Join me for a heartfelt conversation about bringing spring energy into our lives even when our surroundings don't match our expectations!

In this light and candid episode of the In Kinship Podcast, I unpack the ups and downs of the creative process through the lens of a dress gone wrong.

With laughter and insight, I share how a see-through fabric mishap and a fiddly neckband led to valuable lessons about embracing failure, stepping away when frustrated, and finding the balance between perfectionism and joy.

Whether you're sewing garments or building camping cabinets (or raising my perfectionist 9-year-old!), this episode reminds us that the magic happens when we approach our creative hurdles with curiosity instead of scarcity.

Come along for a conversation about finding vibrant joy in your making process, even when your fabric choices leave a little too much to the imagination!
