About this listen

So… I didn’t plan to start a podcast.

Actually, I planned to just declutter my closet—you know, like a normal person.

But somehow, here I am… with a mic, a million thoughts about textile waste, and a child who keeps asking why I’m sewing bags from old bedsheets instead of just going to the mall.

(Spoiler: the answer involves climate change, a lot of reading, and me having a mild identity crisis in the laundry room.)

But seriously—this all started when I came across a report about textile waste. It made me pause. And then… it changed everything.

I couldn’t stop thinking about where all this waste ends up. And what kind of world we’re leaving behind.

Especially for my daughter—who was eight at the time and already way more eco-conscious than most adults.

That one moment turned into a mission.

I started making things, changing how I live, and falling in love with slow, purposeful living.

And now I’m here, sharing this journey with you. It’s messy, imperfect, and sometimes includes me talking to my sewing machine—but it’s real.

So… welcome.

Bring your tea. Or coffee. Or laundry pile—whatever works.

I don’t have it all figured out—but I’m learning, changing, and trying to live with more meaning.

And maybe, just maybe, some of that will speak to you too
