About this episode

Stitch, a 72-year-old, shares his journey of personal and home restoration after overcoming significant life challenges.

In this episode of the Intact Again podcast, 72-year-old Stitch shares his journey of personal and home restoration. Having started restoring in his late 30s, Stitch's journey was interrupted by a stroke and the responsibilities of caregiving for elders. After their passing, Stitch returned to his restoration efforts. Now semi-retired, Stitch embraces bespoke tailoring and embroidery, creating both clothing and community connections. A challenging past few years, marked by close encounters with fires and the loss of loved ones, shaped Stitch's renewed focus on personal growth and honoring the life choices he can now make freely.
