This week, we explore the power of softness—how gentleness, patience, and compassion can be tools, not weaknesses. From Stitch Happens stories ✂️ to Brews News ☕ and a tarot journey in Shuffle Happens 🔮, we reflect on stepping forward with intention, honoring yourself, and creating small, meaningful ripples in a world that pushes us to harden.

Ever notice how some debates never actually move forward — they just… spin?This episode is about recognizing bad-faith loops, stopping the urge to over-explain yourself, and realizing you don’t owe clarity to people who are committed to confusion.

We talk shifting goalposts, performative arguments, and why “just one more explanation” is a trap. Plus: a Brews News update that requires a full cup of coffee, and a Judgment tarot pull reminding you that not every conversation deserves resurrection.

Protect your peace. Be principled. Log out earlier.

Parenting autistic children isn’t a detour—it’s its own path, full of unique challenges, unexpected joys, and opportunities for growth. In this episode, I share personal reflections on navigating hard days, celebrating small victories, and redefining what success and connection look like in your household.

Health anxiety can turn every strange body sensation into a crisis, especially when Dr. Google gets involved after dark. In this episode, we talk about how to tell the difference between anxiety noise and real, persistent issues, how to sit with uncertainty without spiraling, and why taking your body seriously doesn’t require panic. Shuffle Happens pulls The Moon—using story, sound, and symbolism to explore fear, intuition, and finding your way forward even when the path isn’t clear.

This episode explores the messy middle of therapy — the slow progress, the flickers of clarity, and the moments that don’t feel like breakthroughs but still matter. Through reflection, tarot, and honest conversation, we talk about showing up, saying names, and trusting that even small efforts create ripples. Healing isn’t linear, but you’re not doing it alone.

In the Season 1 finale, we talk about boundaries without over-explaining, the quiet kind of freedom that comes from choosing peace, and why guilt isn’t a moral compass.

We explore how attachment to familiar roles, patterns, and expectations can keep us stuck—even when nothing is actively holding us there. Using The Devil tarot card as a guide, this episode unpacks the difference between being trapped and believing you are, and how awareness alone can loosen chains you didn’t realize were optional.

This isn’t about burning everything down or magically fixing family dynamics. It’s about choosing less anxiety, better sleep, and the kind of freedom that doesn’t need to be announced.

We close out Season 1 with a reminder: you’re not broken—you’re becoming aware. And that’s where real change starts.

This week on Coffee, Crochet, and Conversation, we’re talking about the never-ending circus of being the “calm friend” while internally screaming into the void like a feral raccoon with a latte.If you know… you know.

We dive into how identity gets shaped by contradictory roles, what it means to be the emotional support lighthouse in your social circle, and why chaos and calm are actually just weird roommates sharing fridge space and arguing over Tupperware.

Then it’s time for Brews News, where I connect the dots on the latest political nonsense — from fear-based rhetoric to extremist talking points that keep recycling like they’re on sale at the propaganda dollar store. If you like understanding how all the little pieces fit together, this one will scratch that itch and maybe raise your blood pressure. Sorry in advance.

And finally, in Shuffle Happens, I pull Temperance — a perfect card for this episode — and dig into its themes of harmony, duality, patience, and that soft reminder that balance isn’t a finish line. It’s more like adjusting the volume knobs on your own emotional DJ booth while hoping the vibes don’t explode.

Chaos isn’t the enemy. Calm isn’t the goal.They’re both part of the story you’re writing every day.
