EPISODE 023: What It Means to Be a Maker with Stephanie Stewart-Howard

We live in a world designed to make life easier. We can buy almost anything with a click, replace what breaks, and consume more content than ever before. But somewhere along the way, many of us stopped making.Author, journalist, and historian Stephanie Stewart-Howard believes that's more than a cultural shift. It's a human one. Drawing from history, archaeology, craftsmanship, food, and decades of creative work, she explores why making things isn't just about producing art. It's how we express ourselves, build relationships, preserve culture, and create lives filled with purpose.If you've ever felt disconnected, creatively stuck, or drawn to make something with your own hands, this conversation offers a compelling reminder that creating isn't a luxury. It's part of what makes us human.
