Do you still snuggle with your childhood teddy? Or maybe you have a lucky charm you carry around? Let's break the stigma! This episode, we're going to talk about why it's perfectly okay for grown-ups to own comfort items. Beginning with a heart-to-heart about my good friend, Big, the stuffed avocado who's helped me through tough times, we'll open up discussions around the positive roles these items play in our lives. 

We're going to peel back the layers on societal norms and gender stereotypes, and look at the emotional security that these items can provide regardless of age or gender. From your kid's blanket to your grandmother's necklace, we cover the importance of these comfort items, and how they tie us to our sense of stability and security. We also address the potential downsides, such as environmental and hygiene issues, but ultimately, we're celebrating these inanimate objects and their value in our lives.

Finally, we'll be sharing anecdotes from some of our listeners about their comfort items and the benefits they've experienced. Plus, there's a little shout out to my YouTube channel, where Big and his band of buddies make regular appearances. So whether you're an adult with a teddy, or a parent wondering about your child's attachment to their blanket, join us as we make a toast to our comfort items and the joy they've brought and continue to bring into our lives.
