This episode is a recap, grounding, and look forward while recognizing the change that has been a fruit of this podcasting process. In this episode, the host (that’s me) speaks.  I am still scared to share my thoughts in this public venue! Here, I do so anyway. I can hear the anxiety in my voice a bit. Ina Garten says: “I think people stand at the edge of the pond talking about the pond. Is it hot...

Herein, the host interviews herself. Or rather, talks about how she is - and is not! - feeling at home in her own kitchen. She shares some of her ideas for change. She mentions using a picture of a dirty dish that has the burnt remains of tofu on it for the episode cover photo. However, in post-production, she decides to focus more on what’s going well & instead use the picture of the tofu bef...
