In this deeply personal and joyfully creative episode of My Kommunity, host John Garis sits down with his wife, Katie Garis, for the final installment of the Hobbies Edition — and it might just be the most heartfelt one yet. 💛

Katie opens up about:

🧶 Her lifelong love of crochet, crafting, and carpentry 📚 How books and video games became tools of connection and comfort 🏠 The inspiration behind becoming a civil engineer 🎮 Childhood memories of The Sims, GameCube, and bonding with family 🧠 Living with perfectionism and learning to embrace the big picture 🎉 Her dreams of turning creativity into a future business

From handmade bachelorette party gifts to shelves she built herself, Katie shares the real, raw truth behind the joys and challenges of being a maker, and how it all ties into family, identity, and love.

It’s an episode full of laughs, nostalgia, insight — and one very competitive game of Mario Party. 💥
