<p>As it’s been a while, let me offer you a warm welcome back to <em>Brunette Gardens</em>! I’m Lisa Brunette, bringing you a garden of healing 🌱 from autoimmune conditions and the trauma at their root ❤️‍🩹.</p><p><p>No ads, no pop-ups, no auto-play videos. People like you fund my work.</p></p><p>Podcasts are mainly for paying members, except for this first one… and maybe some others I decide to kick out for everyone.</p><p>What you’ll hear is my narration of the latest essay, with video and a few ad-libbed lines for additional edification and hopefully entertainment. Owing to his cuddly-yet-mischievous nature, you might also get a video-bomb glimpse of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.brunettegardens.com/t/cat">Chaco the cat</a>.</p><p>This return/reboot is still evolving, and I might bring on guests for discussion, among other possibilities, so let me know what you think in the comments. </p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
