  • E. 446 | Kathleen Jensen - Founder & Creator, The Little Heart Project
    Jan 10 2025
    "Please be advised that this episode discusses the sensitive topics of suicide and miscarriage.”

    Brent and Amy are joined by Kathleen Jensen, Founder and Creator of The Little Hearts Project. Started in Onalaska, Wisconsin as a way to spread messages of encouragement to those who happen to find a crocheted heart, it was a way for Kathleen to process her life and trauma, and help others dealing with everything from a bad day, a miscarriage, and preventing suicide. The project has grown far beyond its local origins, with hearts being distributed and found in 40 states across the U.S. and even globally. Kathleen shares how the project has impacted people's lives, including preventing a death by suicide. The project is simple to get involved with by crocheting hearts, downloading the messages to attach to each heart, and distributing them wherever you travel.
