Episode 406:

It's Not Just About the Pie with Beth Howard

What if the smallest, simplest things…are the ones that carry us through the hardest moments?

​

In this episode of Roar, Danielle Davies sits down with writer and pie baker Beth Howard for a conversation that starts with something light—and unexpectedly becomes something much deeper.

​

Because at first glance, pie doesn’t feel like a serious topic.

But in Beth’s world, it’s anything but.

​

What began as baking became something else entirely—a way to process loss, connect with others, and move through moments that didn’t have easy answers.

​

 

Danielle and Beth explore what it looks like to turn something simple into something meaningful—and how everyday acts can become a form of care, connection, and healing.

​

 

Together, they talk about:

🔥 How something as simple as baking can take on deeper meaning
🎤 The connection between creativity and grief
🧠 Why working with your hands can help process difficult emotions
🌿 The role of ritual in navigating loss
💥 Letting go of perfection and focusing on presence
📣 How sharing something small can create connection
👑 The accessibility of simple acts—no expertise required
⚡ What it means to do something when there are no words

​

 

Beth’s perspective reminds us that we don’t always need big solutions—sometimes we just need something to do with our hands, our attention, and our care.

​

This conversation is for anyone who has ever needed a way to move through something they couldn’t quite explain.

​

Creativity can be a tool for processing grief.
You don’t need expertise to create something meaningful.
