#44 The Joy in the Struggle

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 ep...

#41 - when you avoid a thing by doing the thing you were already avoiding!

So, tell me if you know this story. This week I shopped for way too many groceries and then in an epic showing of avoiding what I SHOULD have been doing, I pulled everything out of the pantry, fridge and freezer. Yes all of it. Washed everything down and reorganized all food items in my life. I donated the "no-longer-what-I-want-to-be-eating-but-still-good", purged the outdated, composted the pickles that were gifted back in 2018 and scraped the gunk out from underneath the crisper draw. ...

#39 when the fabric inspires you so much, you open a fabric store!

My guest today is Nan Webb, Founder at Bolt and Spool, a cloth merchant in Cleveland, OH. Nan began sewing at the young age of 8. Her love for pattern design, texture, and all things uncommonly beautiful inspired her to open her historic Murray Hill Road boutique in Cleveland’s Little Italy neighborhood in 2010. The storefront is a space where sewists of all levels can feel welcomed and inspired. Nan is equally comfortable with needle and thread as she is with a golf club, trowel, or bike han...

#35 - when the door you're closing is a good one and connecting after death

Today's guest, Liz Murphy is one of those you eagerly follow online (she was a knitting pattern designer and shared her family's homesteading journey) and feels like you know her in real life. In fact, even though she doesn't know your name, you're pretty sure she's one of your dear friends, she just doesn't know it yet! At least that's what happened to me! (is that sketchy? ;-) Over a year ago, Liz announced online that, to her very own surprise, she was shifting gears ...

#34 - what do off-grid, tiny house living and sewing your own clothes have in common?

Intentionality. And if there's one thing that my guest on this episode has in spades, it's intentionality! From her self-built, off-grid tiny house compound (her words!) to her work as a textile artist, clothing and sewing pattern designer, and garment construction instructor, Ann Tilley lives in her values and on her own terms and she's a joy to behold!

#33 - Finding balance, living intentionally and coming back to walking your dog

I'm over the moon that I got to talk with Sarai Mitnick, of Seamwork! Years and years ago, as a pretty new garment sewist I found Colette Patterns and promptly devoured the Colette Sewing Handbook. It was the intention and depth in that book, not just in the technical aspects but on the mindfulness around wardrobes and choices that struck a deep chord in my own soul and I began a journey of mindful making and learning to show up in the world fully and authentically myself. That bo...

#32 - Full Spectrum Aliveness through Burlesque Dance

Have you always wanted to talk to a Burlesque dancer? Me too! I met Kellita last year at a virtual event and was immediately drawn to her spark and playfulness. As a five-time finalist at the Burlesque Hall of Fame, she's had a lifelong journey in dance, but also in finding her soul and our conversation did not disappoint! We talked about living fully alive and witnessed, diving deep into the concept that to perform (or live, really) fully embodied, make it feel good ...

#29 - Getting Your Mojo back!

Being a beginner at something you already know, seems counterintuitive. But when I was looking to deepen my artistry, reconnect to my mojo, and embrace new ways to do what I love doing, being a beginner was just what I needed. Learning anew gave me a deeper connection to my craft and a mindset that allows for more curious experimentation rather than rushing to the end product. I highly recommend it! Give it a listen! Mentioned in the episode: Brooks Ann Camper's ...

#28 You CAN do all the things, but not at the same time!

In this episode, I talk about that space between. Like the time between Christmas and New Year’s or the space between the end of one way of living and the beginning of another and how that space, that pause, can be beautiful and uncomfortable at the same time. I also share about our move and where we are now physically and emotionally. And about having a great deal of grace with ourselves. And did I manifest a SLLLOOOOWWW electric hookup? It’s a good question....

{w/ Megan Frey} In this episode I caught up with my dear friend Megan Frey just days before she embarks on her next voyage. 12 or so years ago, I was working at a natural food co-op and Megan hired on to earn some cash for her next adventure. She waltzed in, this tall blond, glowing human with a gorgeous accent and I KNEW we were already friends. And we were.

My guest today talks about her love of foraging and kitchen witching as a way to be part of nature, a welcome juxtaposition from her days observing nature in her work as a scientist.
