Between Rooms Podcasts
Between Rooms is a podcast about the spaces we survive, the ones we outgrow, and the ones we finally learn to build for ourselves. I’m Elizabeth McCracken, author of Between Rooms, and each week I sit down with women who have lived through grief, family rupture, caregiving, addiction, burnout, divorce, betrayal, reinvention, and the quiet catastrophes that change a life.
This is not a show about tying pain in a bow or pretending everything happens for a reason. It is a show about telling the truth — about what happened, what it cost, what we carried too long, what we had to release, and what we know now that we could not have known then.
Some rooms break us open. Some rooms teach us to breathe again. And some rooms, if we are brave enough, become the doorway to who we were becoming all along.
