LIVE: Coziness after Hearth & Hammer | Comfort at Bocaditos

On this episode, a live episode from Sturdy Shelter's Cozy-Fest featuring former writer, poet, and former Hearth & Hammer owner, Annie Scholl, and co-owners of Bocaditos, Juliana Cancelo and Silvia Sanchez.

In the first part, I talked to Annie about what it's like to cultivate a cozy aesthetic after the closing of Hearth & Hammer, and what she's been up to afterward.

Then, I spoke to Juliana and Silvia about the unique challenge of creative a place of safety and comfort while also managing complicated family history and dynamics.

Finally, we bring everyone together to discuss how best to experience emotional safety, comfort, and coziness in the context of our local community.
