We've all lived through some trying times in the past couple of years. We’ve had to find new ways of doing things, creative solutions to problems we’d never dreamed of. We’ve had to revisit our relationships with work, family, friends, and even ourselves – and when things became overwhelming, we had to dig deep to find ways to bring a feeling of comfort, joy, and safety into our lives.

In this podcast, we’ll explore the different ways we find solace and peace of mind. This is your moment to settle in, get cozy, relax, light a candle, grab a blanket... and spend a little time with us as we explore the various paths that people take to add comfort to their lives.

My guest today is Annie Enneking. Annie is a lover and a fighter. She writes songs about having a body at a particular place in time. She fronts and founded the potent, mischievous rock band Annie and the Bang Bang, who believe in energy, poetry, and animal intelligence. Andrea Swenson says "Front woman Annie Enneking leads the group with an honest voice dedicated to telling the stories of underdogs and unsung heroes." Cyn Collins says “The band performs vibrant real rock.” Annie also writes more mellow, singer songwriter-based material under her own name, all of which is spare and true and hurts just right. Another passion of hers is the theater, where she crafts violence for the stage, allowing actors to tell violent stories with their bodies in a safe and repeatable way. She also teaches the art of stage combat at the University of Minnesota. Annie is the mother of Flannery and Harper, the wife of firefighter/writer Jeremy Norton, has three dogs, and lives near the Mississippi River. 

As promised, each episode of Grab a Blanket features a recipe provided by our guest. Annie has chosen to share her recipe for Sour Cream Cinnamon Coffee Cake.
