Wintering takes us through living through personal and seasonal winters and how knitting can be a brilliant activity to accompany us through both types of winter.

For this bonus episode I am joined by Dr Paula Redmond who specialises in working with health professionals experiencing burnout.

Paula speaks about her own journey into this work during Covid, and how creativity in her personal life has encouraged her to bring this into her work.

We talk about what burnout is, and who might be more likely to experience it, and why knitting is a great tool to prevent burnout. We'll be going into this in much more detail in our webinar, Unravelling Burnout
