What does it mean to truly say, “Thank you for having me”?

In this deeply personal opening episode of a new series, Joanne Avison reflects on the final hours recently spent with her mother, Stephani, and the profound sense of gratitude that emerged.

What begins as a story about her passing becomes a tribute to connection, to family, to love and the invisible architecture that shapes a life. Joanne traces the lessons passed down through generations, from an adored grandfather and a thoughtful father to a remarkable mother whose influence will continue in the lives she shaped around her. 

You’ll hear:

  • The simple phrase that inspired an entire series
  • How family values become part of who we are
  • Why gratitude can coexist with the sadness of grief
  • The stories, sayings, and lessons that shape a life
  • What it means to carry those we love forward in our hearts 
  • How we begin to understand the house that made us
  • The connection between Joanne’s lifelong work on fascia and the themes explored in this series


Although this series is more personal than Joanne's usual teaching, it remains deeply connected to the themes that have shaped her work for decades. Just as fascia folds, unfolds, adapts, and develops its own unique architecture, so too do the patterns of our lives. This series explores the people, experiences, and relationships that were being written into us long before we knew how to read them…

The first of four short episodes, Thank You For Having Me is Joanne's tribute and exploration of the patterns, relationships, and experiences that shaped her life, and an invitation to reflect on your own.


Thank you for being here. And, as always, thank you for having me. 🙏
