New England winters are a good time to lean into our favorite winter activities or get more sleep!

Author, Katherine May writes the act of wintering goes beyond the season. It can be a period of reflection and down time when life throws the worst at us.  

Before we close out the year, we listen back to my conversation with May about her book Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times.

She writes we “must learn to invite the winter in. We may never choose winter, but we can choose how.” 

How are you wintering?

Where We Live is a call-in talk show about who we are in Connecticut and our place in the world.

Where We Live

As the year comes to a close we continue our tradition of re-airing some of our best Where We Live shows from 2021. They include conversations with explorers like NASA Astronaut Kayla Barron who is currently orbiting the earth, deep-sea explorer and Connecticut resident, Dr. Robert Ballard, and underwater ocean photographer Brian Skerry. We also talked to two amazing athletes, Paralympians Matthew Torres of Fairfield and Laura Goodkind. And before we say goodbye to 2021, our show December 31 reminds us to reflect on the winter season; it’s okay to slow down and take time to be gentle with yourself and others, some of what author Katherine May shares in our conversation about “Wintering.”

Students participating at Pro-Palestine protests speak out

Heart disease has been the leading cause of death in the United States for decades, putting much of the focus squarely and rightly on cardiovascular disease. But what about congenital heart conditions, something affecting your heart since birth?

There are 13 million adults living with congenital heart disease, and that number has grown as treatments advance; survival rates have improved by 75% since the 1940s. But those diagnoses can come later in life, and even with sure signs, the need for specialized, lifelong care is often unmet.

This hour, we're joined by the co-authors of Healing Hearts and Minds: A holistic approach to coping well with congenital heart disease.

Plus, we hear from one of 50 clinics accredited by the Adult Congenital Heart Association in the U.S., right here in Connecticut.

Tracy Livecchi:Social Worker; Co-Author, Healing Hearts and Minds: A holistic approach to coping well with congenital heart disease


Dr. Liza Morton: Psychologist; Co-Author, Healing Hearts and Minds


Dr. Robert Elder:Associate Professor of Pediatrics (Cardiology) and Internal Medicine (Cardiology); Director, Adult Congenital Heart Program; Director Pediatric Cardiology Fellowship Program, Pediatric Cardiology
