Welcome to the first real episode of Coffee, Crochet, and Conversation! I’m Stef—your overthinking, over-caffeinated host—and today we’re decoding the core terms you’ll hear around here, from crochet fails to mental health buzzwords and tarot lingo.

We’ll cover:
🧶 Yarn disasters, tension tantrums, and why “frogging” is not a frog crime
🧠 PTSD vs. CPTSD, intrusive thoughts, and why setting boundaries isn’t mean
🔮 What a shadow deck is, how tarot pulls work, and why reversed cards aren’t just dramatic divas
😂 “Stitch Happens,” where I tell the tale of my dog vs. 70 feet of yarn

Bonus chaos: my cats run wild in the background like they’re auditioning for their own podcast.

This episode is messy, funny, and perfectly imperfect—just like the journey we’re on. 💡 Want a more fine-tuned, fully structured version of the show? You can jump ahead to Episode 5, where I lock in the full format so you’ll know exactly what to expect from every cup, every stitch, and every tarot pull.
