  • This is the Moth Radio Hour.

  • I'm your host, Suzanne Rust.

  • When you're in the right place with the right people for you, your body knows it.

  • Your nervous system is calm, you feel centered, you feel connected, and you feel like yourself.

  • Now the road to that place isn't always easy to navigate, but getting there makes it all worthwhile.

  • In this hour, we'll hear four stories from people who found that right fit.

  • When home isn't a welcoming place, it's important to have a good neighbor who can take you in.

  • Julie Baker shared her story with us at a slam in Boston where we partnered with WBUR and PRX.

  • Here's Julie, live at the mall.

  • Every day, I watched the clock.

  • I couldn't wait for him to arrive.

  • And when he finally did, he was smiling.

  • and he was singing and he was talking about what a beautiful day it was,

  • even when I could see out my window that it was raining some days.

  • And then he came in and he hung up his suit jacket and he took down a sweater and he zipped it up and he sat down and he took off his shoes and he tossed them in the air and put on his sneakers.

  • And he was so happy.

  • And for the next 30 minutes, I was happy too.

  • I sat inches from the TV watching Mr.

  • Rogers' Neighborhood.

  • I was four.
