Summary

Fourteen months ago, in episode 166, we talked about crafting and the effects of depression, anxiety, sadness and grief. All of these feelings can be overwhelming and hinder the joy that we usually derive from our crafting and everyday life. Sometimes our crafting can be a lifeboat in a sea of these feelings. In this episode, we revisit this topic, and reiterate how important it is to find a way to cope with these completely normal and natural feelings.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Yarniaks podcast.
0:10.5	This is episode number 198, which we are recording on Sunday, July 28th, 2019.

0:20.5	We're having a little bit of a warm spell here in Santa Cruz.
0:23.6	So we wanted to be outside where we have a little bit of a breeze.

0:52.4	There are turkeys everywhere around here lately. We even saw

1:00.2	juvenile, we'll call them. And we have an announcement. We forgot to say our last episode that we are
1:06.4	now on Spotify. So if you prefer to listen to your podcast on Spotify, you will find us there.
