#49 - Why Not You? Building the Thing You're Craving
Episode 49
Friday, 1 May, 2026
You have a beautiful life — and something's still off. In this episode, I'm getting honest about one of those quieter imbalances: not enough in-person, face-to-face human connection in my otherwise very full, very fortunate work-from-home life.I talk about the difference between needing a total life overhaul (spoiler: you don't) and making small, intentional adjustments — the kind that shift everything without burning it all down. Think of it like fitting a garment: a little pinch here, a little pull there, and suddenly it's exactly right.Along the way, we wander through:My Human Design hermit tendencies and why "too much of a good thing" is annoyingly trueDeleting social media from my phone (and what I replaced it with — hi, Pinterest spiral)How following a random Facebook post led me to a beautiful retreat center I almost never visitedThe magical evening gathering I'm dreaming up for June — breathwork, hors d'oeuvres, hand sewing, cake, and communityThe invitation I'm leaving you with: sit with what's out of balance right now. You don't need a sweeping overhaul. You just need a small, honest look — and the willingness to try one thing.Mentioned in this episode: The upcoming local evening gathering (details coming soon!) | Mackinac Island Sewing Retreattina@kinshiphandwork.com
