Kate:  This is the Practical Homeopathy Podcast Episode Number 65 with Joette Calabrese.

 

Joette:  This is Joette Calabrese, and I’d like to welcome you to the Practical Homeopathy Podcast. Women and men worldwide are taking back control of their families’ health and learning how to heal their bodies naturally, safely and effectively. So, if you’re hungry to learn more, you’ve come to the right place. Stay tuned as we give you the tools — and the inspiration you need — as I share my decades of experience and knowledge using this powerful medicine we call homeopathy.

 

Kate and I love hearing from you. So, consider taking a moment to share your thoughts about this podcast. For example, Ophelia wrote this comment about another podcast. She said, “I search every possible issue that comes up with my little ones and my family to find the remedy that will help. Let me tell you, Joette has everything you need in her articles, podcasts and helpful remedy cards. Thanks, Joette for helping me get on the homeopathy path.”

 

Thank you, Ophelia, for mentioning it.

 

Kate:  Hi Joette. It’s good to be with you today doing another podcast.

 

Joette:  Hi Kate. It’s always good to be with you, too.

 

Kate:  I’m excited to hear what you have to share with us today. You always have great stories, Joette.

 

Joette:  Well, you told me, “Okay, we got some ideas. Why don’t you see if you can come up with something?” I was thinking, my husband and I, and I have my mother with me (she lives with us now), and our dog, Buster, have all moved to Florida. We did it quite a while ago, but now we’re totally settled in. We’ve got a little townhouse and things are moving along. We’re not too far away from where my in-laws used to live in Florida. So, it got me thinking about spending time with mother-in-law.

 

The sewing incident and St. John’s wort

 

There was a time, I’m going to say it was probably about 25 years ago, and we were visiting. We were staying with my in-laws. We had, I think … I think we only had one son. So maybe, it was longer ago … maybe it was 28 years ago. My mother-in-law did a lot of sewing, and I loved sewing too. So, we got out her sewing machine, and I started to sew. I was not accustomed to working on her sewing machine. But years ago, I used to actually sell sewing machines in Chicago at a fabric store.

 

Kate:  You did?!

 

Joette:  I did. It was called the Fabric Barn. I just loved learning about things like sewing machines because it was a big part of my life. I also did alterations and dressmaking for people back then, too. We’re talking long time; we’re talking 1973, folks. So, it was a long time ago.

 

Kate:  Joette, you have a lot of hidden talents.

 

Joette:  Oh, well, I don’t know how talented I was. I was willing, let’s put it that way. So, I’ve done a lot of sewing, actually. (I don’t know if we want to go into this.) So, I’ll just tell a little bit more about sewing because it was a passion of mine. When I first learned how to sew in about seventh or eighth grade, it was part of our curriculum in public school back in Buffalo, New York. Once I learned, I just couldn’t stop. I wanted to make all my clothes. It was just too much fun, and I started to make all my clothes.
