Searching for Home
Searching for Home is a podcast where we discuss what we keep and what we leave behind from our past experiences. We unpack how we have moved from the homes, beliefs, and countries we grew up in to begin the never-ending quest of searching for home both inside and outside ourselves. Your hosts, Ronit and McKenna, come from India and the US, respectively, and currently both live in Grenoble, France. We seek to approach everything through a lens of kindness and curiosity, with a lot of laughter mixed in.
Searching for Home
008 - Breath of Freedom with Katie
Join us for this episode where Ronit and McKenna speak with sometimes-editor, sometimes-massage therapist, and always-poet Katie Jamieson as she recounts her story of growing up and following the prescribed life path only to find herself deeply depressed and disconnected. She vulnerably shares about her marriage, the life-changing moment that led to her divorce, and how she has learned to reconnect with and love herself in the years since then through reading, therapy, travel, dance, community, massage, and poetry.
