“Life Well Stitched” is a heartfelt podcast where we meet over thread and canvas. Hosted by a mother-daughter duo, each episode explores the quiet resilience found in the art of needlepoint while delving into the real-life challenges women face—friendships, family, life, and growing a small women-owned business. With stories stitched together by love, laughter, and honesty, this is more than a craft podcast—it's a comforting antidote to the chaos of life, one stitch at a time.
