13. Home: Place, Feeling, & Refuge

Welcome back to That's So Intimate!  In this episode Bryan and I get curious about the idea of "home" as both a place and a feeling. We talk about home as a noun (those four walls, the hearth, the winter refuge) and as a verb (returning, belonging), and we get honest about what it means when home is missing — whether by choice or circumstance. We touch on everything from the womb as our first home, to the comforts and burdens of physical houses, to the deep solace you can build within yourself.

We chew on big questions — can a traveler feel at home? How does childhood, trauma, and trust shape our inner sanctuary? — and share practical, warm ideas for cultivating home: creating cozy rituals, leaning on community, tuning into your body, and making space for love and safety. We also celebrate small comforts (hello, candles and warm pie) and name how healing touch, honest communication, and belonging can make any place feel like home.
