Every Stitch Is Proof of Connection: A Conversation with Meg Burke of Cuerd@s

What if a tiny stitched dot on a piece of clothing could help someone feel grounded, supported, and connected?

In this episode, Meg Burke, founder of Cuerd@s, shares how a deeply personal act of care for her sibling grew into a nonprofit creating tactile grounding clothing and unique mental health workshops across the country.

We explore the mental health impact of sensory grounding and self-soothing and Meg shares how embroidery became a form of intentional community building - creating spaces where people can connect, open up, and talk about mental health in a low-pressure, human way. 

Cuerd@s believes that every stitch is proof of connection and seeks to remind people that they are not alone.
